    We had the most amazing vacation camping at Golden Eagle. From the start, I was looking for a campsite and stumbled onto their website after failing to find anything in the national parks or really anywhere. I called them to book because we had 10 people traveling, and I wasn't sure about the size of each site. The ladies on the phone were so helpful. We booked 2 adjacent sites. When we arrived, it was more of the same thing; the people working in the office, the camp hosts that drove around the campsites, everyone was so friendly, informative, and helpful. They answered questions and explained everything perfectly. I highly recommend camping here. It's also located within driving distance to MANY Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs attractions. We visited Pikes Peak, Garden of the God's, Manitou, the Manotou Springs Cliff Dwelings, and Denver during our stay.

    This is a great campground if you're looking for that true camping experience. There's not much in the way of luxury accommodation, but there are spaces for every kind of camper (even the kind that want to venture into the woods and not be bothered). The only two things keeping this review from 5 stars are difficulty finding our campsite and the bathrooms being closed periodically without another option close by. We spent several days here, an enjoyed the gorgeous scenic mountain views as well as the beautiful lake. We didn't have a chance to check out the trails, but saw several people coming back from their hike looking very happy. Although I didn't give the full 5 stars, we would definitely stay here again!

    Absolutely loved our stay. Friendly and helpful staff. Location is very convenient for local attractions and nearby town. Beautiful grounds and hot showers. Can't really ask for more!

    There were pros and cons to this site. We were there on a Monday night prior to July 4th weekend. The tent sites next to "the lake" were very small and packed next to other sites. Luckily there were not many campers there so we had a little more breathing room. The site does have some great views of the mountains. The shower/bathroom area was clean. Having not seen the campsite prior to checking in, we were asked if we wanted to fish in their lake. We were charged $6/person for a 24 hr period and told there was a 3 fish limit. When we got there, the lake was very low (yes, we know there is a draught with low lake levels across the nation) but thought it would be bigger considering the sales pitch. We could see some fish, but no one there fishing caught anything. We felt kind of ripped off with that. The other thing we would have done differently was brought our own firewood or purchased some at the local stores. We were surprised we were allowed to burn a fire considering all the area state parks had a burn ban. When firewood was offered for purchase, we jumped on it since we love to sit by the fire at night. We were told 8 pieces of wood for $4. When we actually saw the wood, the pieces were very small cut to only about 6" long, so be ready to fork out some money for not much on extras. There was a playground for kids which seemed to be full of activity. We wanted something a little quieter and could hear the squeeling up until 10pm. The biggest negative was the same as one stated by others. Just before dusk while we began to hear loud booms like sonic booms. We couldn't figure out what it was. Then it changed to rapid fire which we thought at first were fireworks since July 4th was a few days away. It kept going throughout the evening and we decided it was related to the Ft. Carson Army Base. But it didn't stop and woke us us repeatedly during the night. We were tent camping, so there was no way to block out the noise that I know for sure woke me up at 1AM and 4AM. So we were grateful to find a spot on a holiday week that allowed us to have a campfire to cook our hot dogs and had some beautiful views with clean amenities, but the nighttime noises and feeling ripped off on the fishing and firewood dampened that somewhat.

    Spots are ON TOP of one another and the electrical post is shared. The spaces were not sell thought out for RVS, the electric and sewer were on opposite sides of one another, and we couldn't reach both at the same time. So we ended up having to reverse before we left just to dump. The neighbors dump was less than a foot from our mat, and we are lucky we had a mat because the space outside left much to be desired. We had about a foot of flat, dirt before a small hill started. The neighbors RV was so close with their hookups basically right in front of us, that we couldn't enjoy any time outside. There are lots of full timers and cleanliness of their sites is clearly not enforced. The "lake" is barely a pond that you can pay $7 to fish in, it's been stocked with trout, if you're into that. There is - what they call a playground - with a bunch of old tires and one swingset. Children were climbing all over it and we didn't see anyone taking COVID precautions, except at check in. Also, if you have a large rig there is a HUGE right turn to get into the park and they say it's a two way road but really there is only enough room for one. Also, the water hook ups were deep in the ground making it difficult to connect. Good luck if you are towing and you see someone coming! Idk what you could do!

    This place has potential. Spots are not very level. My hook ups were right out side my front door. They have the location now put some time into cleaning it up

They have excellent exhibits ranging from history to artifacts and a number of interactive exhibits where you can test your agility and be an Olympian for a couple seconds! They even had the Miracle on Ice scoreboard, so cool to see. Walk out of this place not chanting USA, USA, USA. I dare you!

    Great local museum detailing the history and life of Colorado Springs and its environs…read more The museum has a variety of exhibits which tackle this from a variety of angles -- famous authors, local Native Americans, the Springs as a tuberculosis treatment center, pottery art, women's art, local tattoo art, the history of the city by decade, the history of a lost Latino neighborhood, etc. All is curated and presented in an interesting fashion -- there was some but very little of the "We don't have a lot to say about this person, so here's random biographical detail filler" sort of local museum content. The breadth of presentation extended to a potpourri "A-to-Z" exhibit with bits of info about a wide variety of topics (did you know that Lon Chaney was from Colorado Springs?). We easily spent three hours touring the exhibits, and I count the time well spent. The building is the former El Paso county courthouses and offices, and is truly lovely. One of the courtrooms has been preserved as an exhibit. Staff was friendly. Admission is free (though donations are encouraged).

    Amazing museum! They cover everything about Colorado Springs' history. I was a little worried…read morebecause the name didn't sound like it would tell the full history of Colorado Springs. I'm very glad it exceeded my expectations. The tour guide Leah was amazing and very helpful in facilitating the tour. She answered every question and encouraged us to press for more information on specific groups in the Springs. I am taking my kids there soon.

    Fun, small museum with interesting history. Entry is 8$ per person…read more There's old fashioned rooms to go in and look at how things used to be back in the day. Next, you can pan for real gold in a special area outside. Then, you can look at old furnished rooms (behind glass) with antiques & pieces of history including the bed of the 21st President. Lastly, there is a short film about Colorado Springs history. This place would be a great, short excursion if you are visiting Colorado Springs.

    Ghost Town Museum - A Mix of Magic and Misses…read more There's definitely a lot to see here--every nook and cranny is packed with relics from Colorado's early days. It's a cool peek into how folks lived back then, and there's no shortage of vintage eye candy. Some items are clearly marked with "Do Not Touch" signs. One wasn't--so naturally, my curious son gave it a go to see how it worked. A staff member walked by and, instead of gently redirecting, chose to loudly scold him in front of others. It was uncomfortable and felt a little over the top for a kid just being curious. Not exactly a warm, educational moment. We moved on quickly--but not before one of us made sure to gently touch one more thing, for good measure. The shooting gallery was a hit with the kids. Change machines are a surprisingly nice convenience. Gold panning? Fun to try, but we struck out. Informative movie? Worth sitting for. Gift shop? Cool stuff, but brace for sticker shock. All in all, it's worth a stop if you're into Old West history, but a little more grace from staff would go a long way in keeping the experience fun--especially for families.
