About
Located on a ridge above Rampart Reservoir in Pike National Forest, Meadow Ridge Campground provides a scenic mountain camping experience at 9,200 feet elevation. The campground is about 10 miles from Woodland Park and sits due north of Pikes Peak, America's easternmost 14,000-foot peak. The surrounding terrain features ponderosa pine forest mixed with spruce, Douglas fir, aspen, and open grass meadows. The 19 campsites include parking spurs at least 30 feet long, picnic tables, and fire grates. Two vault toilets and potable water are available, along with trash collection and firewood sales. Sites 12 and 13 are developed for wheelchair accessibility, while most other sites have steps to the table and fire ring areas. This is a standard non-electric campground with no hookups, showers, or dump station. Rampart Reservoir is renowned for rainbow and mackinaw trout fishing. The Rampart Reservoir Trail extends 14 miles around the lake and is open to mountain biking. Nearby attractions include the U.S. Air Force Academy and the town of Green Mountain Falls.
