    Picture from the fishing pond

    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

    We attempted another campground in Manitou Springs with our fifth wheel, but there was absolutely no way to fit.

    This RV park is all about the location and service. We went in the winter, so while the amenities…read moremay be great, we didn't use any of them. My only reason for one less star that "great" is that it would have been awesome to have a lil fire pit or grill at the "Deluxe" sites. Aside from that, we had a great stay. Location-wise, we rode our bikes to the Garden of the Gods paths, as well as to downtown Colorado City, where there are ample restaurants, little shops, etc. It's also biking distance to downtown Manitou Springs, which was very charming as well. Service-wise, we requested an early check-in so that we could get set up and have time to ride our bikes to an appointment nearby, and they us to check in a few hours early with no additional fee. They also have a chalkboard in the office with cool things going on in the surrounding area. Another cool feature of this RV Park - it's proximity to the Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort. Within less than 5 minutes of walking, this place has live music and cute lil bar that really made our quick getaway weekend.

    An older resort we were kind of surprised we got a "deluxe site" and we're not sure what deluxe…read moremeans. The spaces are so close together and you get a picnic table setting on a slab of cement, the RV's on top of rocks. No trees in the deluxe sites. For the price you pay for RV parks anymore this one does not meet the Mark. If you pay for it in full when you book it, and if you cancel for any reason, there are no refunds. Lots of full-time RVs here. We came in first thing to do laundry, but they failed to tell us that you don't take quarters. You have to download an app that is so cumbersome. We had to call the staff twice to help us with it and we're pretty soggy when it comes to the Internet. Too much work for a Guest staying a couple of nights. We would not recommend this park. The only and I mean only Positive is that it's a good location, very close to garden of the gods and eating places.

    I loved my time spent at Goldfield, I was a long term resident and stayed for a little over a year…read more The front desk is manned by super Nice, caring and helpful people. The laundry and bathrooms are cleaned daily I believe and I never felt like anything was not up to par. It was a very nice and homey community!

    I've lived here full time for about 5 years. During that time I've seen multiple vehicle break-ins…read moreand even had one of my vehicles stolen while living here. I've also had to run homeless people off who were snooping around my RV and belongings. When I first moved in, the park was really nice and well kept. Unfortunately, that's no longer the case. There are several run-down campers in the park even though management supposedly has a "2010 or newer" rule. It seems like that rule is only enforced depending on how the manager feels. If you want to feel like you're back in high school, this is the place for you. The manager clearly has favorite residents who can pretty much do whatever they want and disturb the peace without consequences. Just today one of the residents was screaming and cussing at someone in the shared parking lot with O'Reilly Auto Parts over a parking spot, even though the lot was basically empty. The situation escalated when the resident kicked the door into the person who was walking into O'Reilly's. Police were called and multiple police cruisers showed up to deal with the situation. If that's the kind of environment you want to live around, then this is the place for you.
