Would like info sites, spaces, general info what were like, good, bad.
any thing that stood out.Any thing about camp ground in general. Planning possible trip in summer to this area.

thanks
  • May not be much help, but we did stay in Diamond RV Park in Woodland Park, CO between a stay at Cheyenne Mountain (one of the best state parks anywhere) and Mueller State Park (our first time there and we do hope to return). We stayed at Diamond RV Park over the weekend when there were no sites available in either of the state parks, so it lived up to our expectations and needs. Only specific I remember is that we could not use the awning because there was a tree right next to our site. The good part of that is that this is a nicely wooded campground. I do not have record of the site numbers, but the awning business did not bother us. Plenty of room to walk the dog. I would not hesitate to stay there again if we could not get into one of those state parks. Near town, got propane at a tractor supply just around the corner.
  • We spent 2 nights at Diamond RV last summer. Same as Padre above, no sites at other places, they got us in. Served us fine - close enough to visit Pikes Peak, and Florissant Fossil Beds - recommend both! Nice laundry on site. Sites weren't particularly level, but easily fixed with blocks. ST

    how was the site size? any issues getting in out?
  • Howdy - not sure how big your rig is - they have a variety of sites - saw some BIG, tri-axle rigs squeezed in, obviously seasonal.We had adequate room for 26' B+ and toad. Trees were nice, but had to watch placement if you wanted to deploy slides or awnings. Interior roads were a bit tight, but don't recall any issues with low branches, etc. Hope this helps! ST
  • Thanks be pulling a 29ft TT bh, with a 2003 chevy 1500hd 6.0l 3.73 gears, never been that far with rig and that elevation. Been told should not have any issues just take it slow.
    thanks
  • Don't think you would have an issue with that set-up. Keep heading west towards the ghost town of Elmo, CO! Fun day trip! ST

    Agree with these comments. Campground is on a forested hill so in places it is an effort to get set up. The larger, flatter sites appeared to be for seasonal rigs. I was able to get my '34 5th wheel into a site but had to pull it up a grade and then maneuver it between the trees so I could extend the 3 slides. Our friends had the site next to us and it was flatter and more open so it will be the luck of the draw and how crowded it is.
