State park · Colorado Springs · Colorado
Cheyenne Mountain State Park is a Colorado Parks and Wildlife campground southwest of central Colorado Springs near Highway 115, at 410 JL Ranch Heights Road. It is our public-park pick for the Springs area and suits RV travelers who value full hookups, trails out the door and a 1,680-acre park setting that climbs from prairie toward the mountain, over resort extras. Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs and Pikes Peak are all drives away rather than walks, so it is a car-based base.

Cheyenne Mountain State Park is a Colorado Parks and Wildlife campground southwest of central Colorado Springs near Highway 115, at 410 JL Ranch Heights Road. It is our public-park pick for the Springs area and suits RV travelers who value full hookups, trails out the door and a 1,680-acre park setting that climbs from prairie toward the mountain, over resort extras. Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs and Pikes Peak are all drives away rather than walks, so it is a car-based base.
CPW lists 61 campsites in three loops (Gobbler Grove, Raptor Glen, Swift Puma), with electric, water and sewer at all RV sites and fees of $21 to $41 a night plus a separate park pass; daily vehicle passes currently run $10 to $15. Reservations are required and open six months ahead. Camping is year-round, but the coin-operated showers and laundry building closes November through April, and there is no campground Wi-Fi. Site dimensions are exact-site information, so confirm your rig fits the specific pad. The trade-off is that the campsite rate is not the whole cost, and summer weekends need the six-month window.
