The best camping near Woodland Park with campfires guide

Where to go

Woodland Park Town Center

Several RV parks are located right in Woodland Park, but for those looking to camp a bit closer to nature, the South Meadow Campground is located in the Pike National Forest just a few minutes outside of town.

The Pikes Peak area puts on some of the best fall color shows in Colorado and colors often peak by early October. Some area campgrounds such as the one at Mueller State Park remain open year-round.
