Can't help on Cheyenne SP other than to say it is beautiful. We have always waited too late to get reservations to stay there. LOL My wife grew up in Colorado Springs/Woodland Park area so we spend a week or so there every couple of summers. Most of the time we end up staying at the Garden of the Gods RV Park in town. Most of the campground in this area are old, as this is a very old tourist destination in the US. One time we stay at the Broadmoor Hotel when we didn't have our RV, as it is a comfortable place to stay.
Lots to do in the area. One day we will spend in Manitou Springs wandering the shops, take the inclined railroad to the top of Pike's Peak, tour of the Air Force Academy is nice and interesting, the Cliff Dwelling are OK, the Cave of the Winds, drive up to Cripple Creek and Victor one day, ride the narrow gauge railroad and attend the melodrama in Cripple that evening. I don't remember us ever running out of stuff to do, the Olympic training center is located there also, some of the grandest of Victorian Homes (Painted Ladies) are located in the Springs.
For a big city atmosphere, the Springs is a good place to spend some time. We lived in Ouray for close to 10 years after moving from Alaska, prior to moving here to the swamp country. (still on joe b.'s list of top ten dumbest things he has ever done)
There are a couple of campgrounds on the north side of Woodland Park where we have stayed as well, on the road out toward Deckers. The Garden of the God's Park is not to be missed as mentioned above. Those rocks really do look like two kissing camels. LOL
