The campground was great, very clean.

Left early. Absolutely terrible campgrounds. No site is remotely level. And, where there's a empty space for a tent, you can count on rain drainage flowing right through the space. The outdoor toilet was the worst in the canyon. My recommendation is that you close that campground until it can be regraded and modernized.

Had a great time except somebody took our spot even though I had called ahead saying I was going to be late and they assured me they would hold my campsite. Luckily another group never showed so we had a campsite anyways

Great and secluded spot with a lot to do nearby on the river and in town, only reason I mark it down a star is because our site, #14, was basically on top of #13. Barely had room to set up 2 tents Most sites have really great setups, but a few are really squeezed together.

Lovely seclude spot. Camp sites are in good shape. No complaints.

Eleven-mile campgrounds are in splendid locationall the campsites are excellent.Be advised that your campsite must be occupied by you on the first day of a multi-day reservationor you risk losing your campsite even though you have it reserved and have paid for it. We were told this by two different employees.

The place is amazing.
@AaronM4160322 · Camped on Jun 25, 2024 at Campsite #3
Decent campground, but no host. Recommend sourcing firewood in Lake George vs Spillway.
@KaneeTCE4B08A8 · Camped on Jun 21, 2024 at Campsite #13
Great area. If you have a lot of items to bring down to the river, its best to drive. Its quiet of a walk to get to a decent spot. Besides having inconsiderable people at night being loud, everything about the campsite was great.

Very beautiful place to camp but watch out when you enter Eleven Mile Canyon. You must purchase a park permit. When we checked in we told the attendant we were buying the permit for us and our nephew in the vehicle directly behind us. She took our money for both vehicles and then proceeded to charge him as well.

The campsite was super nice and just a walk to the river. There is a long staircase from the parking spot to the campsite which makes it more challenging to set up camp. Overall very nice! Comes with a stair master workout.

Loved it. The camp host was the best.
@AmyM7630349 · Camped on May 23, 2024 at Campsite #10
This is an incredible campground in reasonable proximity to Colorado Springs. Make sure you book well in advance. Molly the campground host was delightful. Looking forward to visiting again soon!
@MartinA7318069 · Camped on May 20, 2024 at Campsite #3
Camp hosts were very accomodating, pit toilets were clean and well stocked. Would camp here again.
@NathanE9261764 · Camped on Oct 6, 2023 at Campsite #15
Nice spot. Camped in October and it seemed like this area was colder than everywhere else. Maybe a good thing in the summer. The 2023 host did an amazing job keeping the sites clean. Ours was raked like a Japanese garden and the fire pit had zero ashes. Even though theres a beautiful creek nearby, the campground water source was poor. Hand pumping brown water. We had to borrow some from neighbors for drinking. There is no firewood to be gathered in the area, so plan to buy in town or from the host. Road is super dusty and washboarded. If fishing or climbing, you will be inhaling a lot of it. One in our party got an eye infection. All that said, we had a good time.

Great hosts. Beautiful and quiet location. Highly recommend!
@ArielD4F62F946 · Camped on Sep 21, 2023 at Campsite #3
Sara is a wonderful camp host! Her helpfulness and positive attitude made me feel incredibly safe and secure as a solo female traveler. The bathroom by my campsite was in tip top shape, and my campsite was in perfect order! It's great to know I'm in good hands when camping in Springer Gulch!
@KathleenM78273 · Camped on Aug 18, 2023 at Campsite #9
Amazing views all the way to the campsite. Best place we stayed on our trip through CO springs! Cash only for entry fee & fire wood. 10/10!
@RoboDC47F41BA6 · Camped on Aug 10, 2023 at Campsite #5
You go camping for a peaceful and quiet experience. A camp site was running their generator from 7am to 9-9:30pm every day. I was going to complain to the camp ground host but it was the host who was running their generator everyday. This pretty much ruined our trip and any hope for a nice quiet and relaxing trip. I know quiet hours are 10pm to 6am. You should have generator hours from maybe 10am to 5pm. We went to Springer Gulch CG in Eleven Mile Canyon. Don't think I will go there again.

Campground was neat and clean.
@AmandaR9586003 · Camped on Aug 1, 2023 at Campsite #10
This is our family's favorite place to stay. It's clean, fairly private, wooded, the river is fun to fish and raft in.
@JohnF7443050 · Camped on Jul 31, 2023 at Campsite #14
The Campground was very clean and well kept. The caretaker does an excellent job and is very pleasant to talk to.
@ToddR1327438 · Camped on Jul 1, 2023 at Campsite #11
Nice, small space however as small as it was it was unkept during our stay, "Camp host" was not there nor were they seen for the four days we stayed, (booked for five days). Facilities were not cleaned, no TP in the toilets, it was disapointing to see. Will we go back, hard to say yes at this point.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

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!!!
