We were so lucky to have found a site last minute! Everyone was so nice and helpful. The campground was very clean and lots of fun stuff for adults and kids to do! Great place! We will be back!

We got in late at night, but it was easy to get our site information and the restrooms were clean that late at night.. The tent area was efficient. We liked the table area and lighting. The kids and adults loved watching the prairie dogs peaking out of their homes and running around. It was a great experience! The staff was very kind and helpful. The facilities were welcoming and clean!

Such a lovely place and great location.

Cleanout was higher than the drain on my trailer so it was hard to drain. It needs to be at the height of the drive.

Our sewer hookups are at grade, however in some cases there could have been some erosion leading to a 1" rise. That only affects 1" of effluent in your sewer hose though so maybe another issue with your setup? Will double check 162 to ensure there isn't a larger problem. Thanks for the commentary!

Enjoyed our tent stay very much. Top notch staff and facility. SPECTACULAR location and setting to not be a national or state park. Only weird thing was the traffic noise from the highway. The acoustics of the valley make it carry so it's kind of loud considering how far away it is. Should only be a problem if you want to sleep late in a tent. Shouldn't be sleeping late anyway. Too much to see/do!

Hard to sleep late when the sun rises around 5 too! :)

We loved this campground, so much so that we extended our stay a few extra nights. Lots to see and do in the area and the scenery is stunning. We will be back.

Tent site T4, early June. Overall A+ experience. 3 things: Shwrs/bthrms/trash a long hike from site (nthng to do abt this, I admit). ID potable water on map/signage. T4, dead aspen around site should be removed (widowmakers, and someone will try to burn). Remote sites maybe new-ish, and still being established? Clean sites/facilities. Staff helpful, but that’s it. Hummingbirds! Polite guests.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the review, Robert! We removed dead trees just a few weeks ago, but I did revisit T4 and took down a few more today. I appreciate you pointing that out! We have a camp kitchen clearly identified on our maps, and any water spigot (except dump station) provides potable water. Glad you found staff to be helpful but not sure what "that's it" means.

This place was awesome, very clean. The Mountains around the camp grounds was beautiful. Plenty of things to do, the staff was awesome. This is by far our favorite camp grounds. I'm already planning to go back.

Had a great time everything was clean and staff was great also

Good except you had to be a Billy goat to get to our picnic table!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for your feedback! Not much consideration was given to the yard area when our park was built on the side of a hill. We are addressing this issue over time, but focusing on the worst sites first.

Enjoyed the visit. Great facilities and pleasant staff.

Amazing scenery, very clean grounds, friendly staff. Of all the KOA’s I’ve stayed over the last couple of years. This is probably the in the top two. We had a great time and will definitely return in the future.

Very well run operation. Clean facilities. Nice staff

And fantastic guests too!

We had a great stay here. The property was well taken care of, the sites were pretty level especially for being on the side of a hill. Our family enjoyed the hike behind the campground even our 3 year old was able to make to the tree line. Weather wasn’t great so we weren’t able to enjoy the awesome views every day. Would absolutely recommend the Cripple Creek KOA.

Great stay and such a beautiful location. Clean facilities, nice staff, and a perfect spot to start mountain adventures from. We will be back. Just wish the wifi was better so I could do a longer work/play stay.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Please let me know next time you have issues with wifi, Julia. We have invested a lot in upgrades over the past few years so there should no longer be issues with normal internet (work) use.

Very nice people working. Beautiful facility. Clean restrooms and showers. Owners are very nice and friendly.

So Beautiful in Every Direction! Friendly and Helpful Staff.

Very clean Very friendly, helpful, thoughtful staff Quiet Kid-friendly
Jun 07, 2021
Super friendly and helpful staff. Lots to do for the kids and added amenities. We had a pretty basic site, but there are others that have some cool extras we would try next time. Probably the only con is that there isn't any shade - but the views were great and considering the amount of people, it was very quiet.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks, Jennifer! We prefer the lack of trees on our RV sites so you can enjoy the wide open views of our high mountain valley!

This was our 4th time at the Cripple Creek KOA. Always well organized at check-in and the grounds and facilities are well-kept and very nice!

Took my wife, kids, and dogs to one if the tent sites and had a blast in the area, absolutely want to come back again. They have a really nice trail to hike at the back, but make sure you don't bring small kids or dogs on it. Most of it would be fine for then but the top as a good bit of scrambling and would be hard for then to go up and down that section.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks, David! The trail across BLM land out our back gate is not easy, although there are parts enjoyable by all ages and pets. Boulder scrambling at the top can be a challenge, but how about that 360 view, including Pike's and the Collegiate fourteeners!
Jun 06, 2021
Beautiful area and a very quiet and peaceful campground. The tent sites in the Aspen trees are top notch.

A perfect overnight stop. The sunset views were exceptional! We would definitely stay again for a longer time to explore the area.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

I agree, the sunsets across the valley are THE BEST thing about our mountain getaway!

You can’t beat the hospitality of the owners and staff or the view. Great hiking in the area and great food in Woodland Park.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Glad you enjoyed it! Next time spend some time in Cripple Creek and you will add "great wild west mining history" to your list of benefits!

We loved our stay at Cripple Creek KOA! The facilities were very clean and well kept. The WIFI worked throughout the park. which was so nice. The owners and staff were very friendly and always willing to stop and talk to campers. Do not miss the pancake breakfast on Saturday and Sundays.

Great views, great service , very clean , all pull through sites. Rv ing doesn’t get any better!! The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 was that there was no pool. But I guess at 9000 ft altitude it would be too cold most of the time

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the review, David! You are correct that there are just a handful of days during the summer here at 10,000 feet that are warm enough to swim, so we opt to invest in amenities that can be enjoyed by a broader range of our guests.

Awesome place. We stayed in a cabin for 2 nights it was clean and perfect for camping. The park grounds are open and not much to see but the background is gorgeous and there is a trail leading up the mountain on the trail we found fresh bear marks witch was awesome to see and makes perfect sense why they warn you not to leave out food.

Always a fan of KOA, but this one was especially impressive to us. It is family owned and operated, and it is evident in the upkeep that the family is proud of their business. The cabin we stayed in was immaculate, they were even installing a screen door on it when we checked in, perfect for cool mountain breezes! The campground also has a fully-stocked outdoor kitchen which was a fun experience in itself. I think our kids' favorite however were the pedal carts available for rent. Lastly, keep an eye out on the way up! There are wildlife in the surrounding woods, we saw half a dozen mountain sheep on the way in! 100% intend to return!
