Madeline's property was so tranquil and just a short drive into town. With views of Pikes Peak and plenty of space to spread out. We discovered we were a bit larger than the recommended RV length, but Madeline and her Mom were so accommodating! The property is peaceful and we could let our dogs off leash, which is a plus. Especially for our furry full-time travelers to stretch their legs. I would highly recommend a stay here!

Amazing location. Right down the road from main Colorado springs. Very quiet location with a much needed separation from society. Used a 2WD vehicle on the appaloosa site. Definitely check ahead if the conditions would allow for easy accessibility. Thank you Madeline for the horse tour. My wife was absolutely enthralled!

We enjoyed our stay. It’s a very family friendly campground, with the pool, arcade, and fishing pond. It’s also close to groceries, and things to do. Staff was nice, it was easy to get to and they sell some helpful items in their store.

We, along with 2 friends booked all 3 RV sites at Little Creek and after night 1 we booked a second night. It was the perfect spot to camp for a few nights away from crowded camp grounds! Madeline was friendly and answered questions quickly! We did do a lap around the property first because I wasn’t sure we were in the right place but we figured it out! :)

We loved the quiet and peace while camping in our trailer on Madeline's land.
The views of Pike's Peak and the mountains were very pretty... we were the only campers there for the 2nd and third nights of our stay!... We were only 30 minutes away from Garden of the Gods, which was our destination.... easy to get to from this site. We loved this site. ...Madeline was a responsive host -easy to connect with when we had questions.

As advertised, this is a simple campsite well suited for self-contained campers. Quiet and peaceful with just enough sound to not feel isolated. Just north of Colorado Springs and about 40 minutes from the south suburbs of Denver, great location for travelers.

Where to go
San Isabel National Forest
West of Monument sits San Isabel National Forest. Encompassing over 1,750 square miles and containing 19 of the state’s fourteeners, it’s a dream for hikers and mountain climbers. The forest features nearly 800 miles of hiking trails through meadows, forest passes, and six designated wilderness areas. Turquoise Lake Recreation Area is the most popular developed camping area, with seven campgrounds that feature flush toilets and a centrally located dump station. Twin Lakes Recreation Area is also popular among anglers and boaters, thanks to a convenient boat ramp and campsites right along the shoreline.
Pike National Forest
Just west of Monument, Pike National Forest covers about 1,730-square-miles and contains natural gems like Pikes Peak, Kenosha Pass, and the Continental Divide. Devil’s Head Lookout is also a must-see spot that includes a 2.8-mile trail through a forest of pine and aspen trees. It culminates in 143 steps up to a U.S. Forest Service fire lookout tower for a 360-degree view. Hipcampers can choose from dozens of serviced campgrounds for tent and RV camping in the forest as well as rustic log and modern two-story cabins.
Lake Pueblo State Park
About an hour south of Monument sits Lake Pueblo State Park, which encompasses about 10,000 acres of land, including 60 miles of shoreline around Lake Pueblo. Lake Pueblo is a hot spot for fishing, bringing anglers from all over to catch bass, catfish, rainbow trout, carp, and a dozen other fish species. The lake is also perfect for swimming, kayaking, and tubing. On land, find miles of hiking trails that wind through 200-year-old juniper trees to the Arkansas River. The park also has 393 campsites with picnic tables, paved parking, and fire pits. Arkansas Point and Northern Plains Campgrounds have electricity, along with showers, flush toilets, playgrounds, and dump stations. These sites fill up on weekends between Labor Day and Memorial Day, so reserve spots early.
When to go
Monument is most popular during warmer months, particularly from Labor Day to Memorial Day. July is the warmest month with average highs around 86°F. However, anglers should head to Lake Pueblo during spawning season in March and April for prime fishing. Snowsporters should check out the area in winter, when parks open designated snowmobile routes and cross-country skiing trails along with downhill skiing and snowboarding slopes. December can get frigid, with an average high of 40°F, but cold-weather campsites are available.
