Statewide · Colorado
Mueller State Park is a Colorado Parks and Wildlife campground near Divide, west of Colorado Springs and up at about 9,000 feet, making it one of the highest campgrounds we cover in the state. Our Colorado guide treats it as the high-country counterpoint to Cheyenne Mountain: quiet, beautiful, forested and full of serious wildlife, with electric hookups. It suits campers who want cooler, wilder camping near Pikes Peak in a mid-size rig, and who are willing to give up full hookups for elevation and solitude.

|---|---|
| Sites | 132 sites |
| Max RV length | Up to 40 feet |
| Cost | $36/night electric (plus CPW vehicle pass) |
| Reservations | Colorado Parks & Wildlife, 6 months ahead |

Mueller State Park is a Colorado Parks and Wildlife campground near Divide, west of Colorado Springs and up at about 9,000 feet, making it one of the highest campgrounds we cover in the state. Our Colorado guide treats it as the high-country counterpoint to Cheyenne Mountain: quiet, beautiful, forested and full of serious wildlife, with electric hookups. It suits campers who want cooler, wilder camping near Pikes Peak in a mid-size rig, and who are willing to give up full hookups for elevation and solitude.
The practical picture: 132 sites with 20/30-amp electric, seasonal water and a dump station, and no sewer at the site. The rate is $36 a night for an electric site plus the required CPW vehicle pass, and reservations open six months ahead through Colorado Parks and Wildlife, a window that decides summer weekends. Rigs top out around 40 feet, so this is not a park for the biggest coaches. The one trade-off is altitude: bring layers and expect cold nights even in July, plan a night or two lower to acclimate, and expect reduced engine and generator output at 9,000 feet. Water and dump availability are seasonal, so confirm status before a shoulder-season stay.

Read the guide →Our verdict
Book Mueller if you want cool, quiet, high-elevation camping with electric near Pikes Peak in a rig under 40 feet; skip it if you need sewer, run a big coach or would rather not deal with 9,000 feet.
No. Sites have 20/30-amp electric only, with seasonal water and a dump station and no sewer at the site.
$36 per night for an electric site, plus a Colorado Parks and Wildlife vehicle pass on top of the camping fee. Compare current daily and annual pass options for your trip.
Up to 40 feet. Mountain state parks in Colorado generally cap around that length, so bigger rigs should look at Front Range private resorts instead.
Yes for summer. CPW campgrounds open bookings six months ahead and that window is decisive for summer weekends.
About 9,000 feet. Expect cold nights even in July, reduced engine and generator performance, and consider a night or two around 6,000 feet in Colorado Springs first to acclimate.
Our guide notes water and the dump station are seasonal, but we have not verified full winter operating details. Check the CPW park page before a cold-season visit.
