Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights24 sites open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
The campground is a practical base for reservoir-based recreation and Front Range trails: Rampart Reservoir is known for good fishing rainbow and mackinaw trout are plentiful and supports boating, while the Rampart Reservoir Trail (about 14 miles) and nearby Nichols Reservoir Trail offer clear opportunities for hiking and mountain biking. Meadow Ridge lies roughly 10 miles from Woodland Park and about 24 miles west of Colorado Springs along Highway 24, with access via Rampart Range Road to the Rampart Reservoir entrance; from the reservoir many larger draws of the Pike and San Isabel National Forests & Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands are within reach, including longer hikes on portions of the Continental Divide and Colorado Trail and a wide range of activities (biking, climbing, horseback riding, OHV routes, wildlife viewing and more) across the district.











Length limits vary by campsite.

“Average... Easy trail from campsite to Rampart Reservoir, ok access but a little tight. Very stinky toilets prohibited most outdoor activity around campsite. We won't book this one again.”
“We love Meadow Ridge. We have camped here many times. The seclusion of the campground, the nice separation between sites. ”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (4,701 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
