About
Cheyenne Mountain State Park offers a modern camping experience at the base of its namesake peak, with easy access to Colorado Springs. The campground features 61 sites across multiple loops including Raptor Glen, Swift Puma, and Meadows campgrounds. The 51 full-hookup RV sites provide 20, 30, and 50-amp electrical service along with water and sewer connections. Ten walk-in tent sites offer a more primitive experience. Every site includes a fire ring, picnic table, and 12x12-foot tent pad.
The camper services building houses coin-operated showers and laundry facilities from mid-April through mid-November, while flush toilets remain available year-round. Two cabins in the Meadow Campground offer ADA-accessible lodging with kitchenettes, heating, and air conditioning for up to six guests. The park gates are open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.
With 29 miles of trails ranging from easy strolls to challenging hikes, the park supports diverse recreation including wildlife viewing opportunities for deer, wild turkey, black bear, and mountain lions. Dogs are permitted on designated trails including Acorn Alley, Bobcat Way, and Raccoon Ridge. The Turkey Roost Group Tent Campground offers a unique group camping option with views of both Cheyenne Mountain and the city lights of Colorado Springs.
