Peaceful RV/Camper Parking!! 30 amp, 50 amp, 110 electric, water hook up and dumping station included. Looking for peace and quiet or tons to do? This is the perfect place for either! Complimentary WIFI available as well!! Pets are allowed, we ask that you keep them off of the road, do not allow them to roam free, please pick up after them. THERE ARE NO TOILETS, SHOWERS, LAUNDRY FACILITIES ***Extra Guest Fee Explanation*** 1 Guest = 1 camper trailer or up to 2 tents, 2 Guests = 2 campers or tents, etc Self service check-in and check-out The Lot is 20 feet wide by 50 feet long, so plenty of space to pull up and back in or pull straight in. NOT A PULL THROUGH. Close to hiking, fishing, camping, boating and only a 40 minute drive from Colorado Springs with shopping, dining and tourist attractions like Garden of the Gods, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, and Cave of the Winds to name a few. Local attractions include 11 mile canyon, Mueller State Park, Fossil Beds, etc. 1 notable "house" rule: SMOKING AND OPEN FLAME POLICY No smoking of any kind anywhere on the property. Smoking at the end of the driveway is also unacceptable. No open flames of any kind in the space or on the property. Fire danger is great in our dry climate. This is mountain living so take care when on the property. Lots of uneven ground around the property. The views are spectacular but with that comes the risk of a windy day once in a while too. COLORADO WINTER TRAVEL: There is a possibility of snowy roads anytime from September through March. It's such fickle weather. One day can be sunny and 50 degrees and the next day a 6-inch snowfall. Generally, the roads clear up within a day or two of a snowfall so the impact isn't too troublesome. If you rent our place in this time frame, good all season tires are advisable. Our driveway is fairly flat and the county road to the house is plowed often. If there is a snowfall during your stay, we will have the driveway plowed out if we get more than 4 inches of snow and after the snow has stopped falling. If a snowfall lasts more than a single day, we may have it plowed out each day of a snowfall if more than 4 inches accumulate. Use caution during any snowfall as ground can become unexpectedly slippery. Message us if you have any issues.

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. Other popular camping options close to Woodland Park include the Meadow Ridge Campground and the campgrounds at the Rampart Reservoir.

Colorado Springs

Colorado’s second largest city, Colorado Springs, is just 30 minutes southeast of Woodland Park. Colorado Springs is home to the Garden of the Gods, a gorgeous landscape of red rock towers and balanced rocks. It’s one of the state’s most visited natural attractions, and hiking, biking, and horseback riding are popular ways to explore the park.

Cripple Creek

Cripple Creek is a historic old mining town 25 miles south of Woodland Park. It’s downtown area has maintained much of its old western character and is lined with saloons, casinos, and historic buildings like the old jail. A visit to Cripple Creek is like stepping back into the days of the gold rush and tours are offered of area mines.

When to go

Considering Woodland Park’s high elevation, summer is the best time for camping, hiking, and biking adventures. Many of the high elevation campgrounds in Pike National Forest are only open from Memorial Day to just after Labor Day weekend. Woodland Park is also wonderful in fall. 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.

Know before you go

  • Woodland Park has grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, and several outdoor gear and fly fishing shops. 
  • There are plenty of family-friendly activities in Woodland Park including the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center and the nearby Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center.
  • Many of the national forest campgrounds surrounding Woodland Park take reservations. Book ahead of time if you plan to camp on a weekend. 
  • In addition to tent and RV sites, Mueller State Park also has cabins available for rent.
