Larger-than-expected campsite. Fabulous campground host. Plenty of shade, and good seclusion. Fire ring was reasonably well-maintained with cooking grate. My only complaint is that it did not have graded tent sites, and while the ground was mostly level, there was no completely flat locations. Otherwise, I would definitely go back.

The camp host was very helpful. The sites and restrooms were very clean. The location is good but maybe a little close to the main road.

The campground was well maintained and the camp host clearly cared about his role. The location of the campground is great for nearby attractions such as a visit to Manitou Springs, or Woodland Park. We did both. This is a beautiful area and we would stay again.

Quiet and spacious Campground although not many sites for large campers. I was in #12 with a 20 ft 'total' length travel trailer with a 20 ft pickup and had enough room. Pretty level although I'm a stickler for a level camper and leveled the backside some. Super nice and helpful host. Pit toilets kept clean but no dump station or showers here. Drinking water faucets spread throughout the campground but no way to fill your camper with a hose. #13 is directly across from the pit toilet so #12 is diagonally across from it. No cell service at least with Verizon. Occasionally a text would come through. Woodland Park is near for gas, food, Walmart and slightly better cell phone service. Download offline maps before you visit. There are many ground squirrels OR chipmunks (?) to keep your dog excited. Good location for visiting area attractions like Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods and more.

We enjoyed camping at SouthMeadows, but many of the sites are difficult to park our 5th wheel. The trees need to be trimmed and assessed whether they are impeding RVs from driving into a site that online looks to accommodate vehicles. several branches hang over the top of RVs, and many sites have trees that make it difficult to navigate the site.

We love it, it's quite nice and clean. we've been going camping here for several years now.
@BethanyRF53301 · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #54
The site was flat, more than enough space and the pit toilets were very well taken care of. The smell was surprising in a good way and I was amazed they could be maintained. Our cell phone service with AT&T was very, very slow and data happened sporatically, but could not be counted on at all. I would stay here again in a heartbeat, but my teens would prefer more consistent service.

An excellent campground for beginners- lots of trees at every site, clean toilets, easy access to Woodland park (in case you forgot anything), some lovely trails and a stream to check out too. Our site specifically was close but not too close to the bathroom and had some nice flat areas for the tents. Downsides are this campground is right next to the road and the sites are spaced pretty closely together. It didnt bother us though. Great for kids to bike around the loop.

Beautiful campground, nice and quiet. Great location for exploring Colorado Springs. We have a 45 5th wheel and were able to get into site #60 with just a little bit of navigating corners.

Beautiful area, very nice campsite, but some noise problems at night, which is why I only rated it "very good".

Larry is an exceptional welcoming and warm host. He obviously takes both interest and pride in his role. We always enjoy the South Meadows campground for its clean, well maintained bathrooms, generously spaced sites and beautiful natural environment that gives a measure of a peaceful break.

Very peaceful, clean site. Helpful hosts. Good stop between Colorado Sorings and Rocky Mountain NP. Nice easy hike along the river behind the campsite

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
