We tend to stay at the Garden of the Gods campground in town. Good location, not far from Manitou, etc. Most summers we spend about a week there as my wife grew up in the Springs and went to high school in Woodland Park. So we stop so she can visit old running buddies and to do some of the tourist stuff. On our last visit I notice the Garden of the Gods had put in a half dozen or so pull throughs for big rigs with 50 amp in addition to water/sewer.
Many/most of the in town campgrounds in this area are old and were built for smaller RVs but for a place to park, several will do. This part of Colorado is one of the oldest tourist areas of the state. Many used to arrive by train,or hired cars with drivers, and spend the summer, in the Manitou Springs area, especially the Plain people, the Mennonites, the Amish,and Brethren, among others, from the upper Midwest.
The fairly new Cheyenne Mtn SP is real nice but out of town a ways and is hard to get a reservation, at least for us. We have also stayed in Woodland Park at a couple of the campgrounds on the highway headed for Deckers. In the north edge of Woodland.
Lots to do in the Springs area.
