We arrived at Painted Rocks to find every water spigot covered in trash bags. So no water. There was no notice. There are also significant ruts lining the dirt road, so like other reviews, that is a potential issue. Luckily there are a couple other campgrounds close by. We stayed at the South Meadows campground just down the road. The host was very kind and it was clean and had water. We very much enjoyed the paved and gravel path that runs along 67.

Painted Rocks Aug 20, 2023, Site 007We were unable to stay there because there were deep gullies between the campground road and the sites. It was not possible to back in or go car first with a trailer because of the deep gullies. In addition the camp driveway was lined with tree posts (telephone pole size) so that it was not possible to maneuver a 23 ft RV. We tried to cancel the reservation, but could not, as the web site would not respond to any input with the very poor cell coverage (AT&T). We tried the next day and still could not get anyone or any answers. The access road to the campground (Painted Rocks Rd) was in very poor condition needed to be graded. Overall it was a very poor experience and we could not get a refund.

We are regulars at Painted Rocks. Good clean campground with friendly camp hosts. I would recommend if you are new to camping or want a nice clean site.

Road grading and site grading maintenance is poor. It can be quite difficult to get a car into many sites, let alone an RV. They need to work on drainage and install some culverts.
Also, we got dusted by local residents driving down the neighboring county road which was very close.

Camp host kept the facilities clean and well stocked.

The campground was nice and small with ample space between sites. Trees at most sites gave good shade from the mid-day sun. The rocks were nice to see, along with the other activities in the immediate area.

Painted Rocks Campground which lies a few miles North of Woodland Park, CO was 2 nights of enjoyment. The site was clean with nearby access to a toilet and clean water. Our host (Jerry) was very friendly and suggestive of area ideas. Though timber in the area, I wish there could have been a few more trees. All in all, we and our 7 year old granddaughter loved the experience.

Really nice spot tucked in between roads. Some periodic side road traffic, but it was limited. Easy biking access to Manitou Lake and the other campgrounds for an easy ride. It should be walkable to the lake, but we didn't try that. Very nice first foray with a new camping setup.
