Cheyenne Mountain State Park

Trail Notes
What we noticed on the ground
In late Sept of 2019 we had to visit Colorado Springs for a conference, rather than spending tons of money on hotels we choose to travel in our class C motor home. On this trip we spent several nights camping at Cheyenne Mountain State Park. Located at the foot of Cheyenne Mountain, this beautiful Colorado State Park offers RV campers full connection camp sites and stunning views of Colorado Springs. Cheyenne Mountain State Park is almost all uphill from the park entrance, I am not exactly sure how high the park sits above Fort Carson but it is at least 1000 ft! We found Cheyenne Mountain State Park to be one of the most windy parks that we have vidited on our RV travels! At night you can see the lighted entrance to Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Base, once know as NORAD. Come along with me as I explore Cheyenne Mountain State Park!

Campnab
Want the best campsite?
I do too.
I want the right site, on the right dates — not just whatever happens to be left when I make the reservation.
That's why I use Campnab.
I tell Campnab the campground, my dates, and the sites I'm looking for. If one of those sites opens up, Campnab lets me know.
Then it's up to me to grab it through the campground's reservation system.
Campnab doesn't book the campsite for me. It watches for the opening so I don't have to.
👉 Have Campnab watch for your campsite.
Affiliate link: Dude RV may earn a commission if you use this Campnab link. Campnab is optional cancellation watch, not the park reservation system, not an official park service, and not a guarantee that a site will open.
Starlink
Want to stay connected on the road?
So do I.
Dude RV travels, camps, uploads, and runs Factory from the road. Starlink keeps us connected.
I am not claiming it works at this campground. Coverage and performance vary.
Referral link: if you order Starlink through this Dude RV link, Dude RV may receive Starlink service credit that helps pay the internet bill. That is not a cash commission. Always check Starlink availability, coverage, plans, and pricing. This does not claim Starlink coverage, speed, pricing, or performance at this place.
