Camping at Painted Rocks near Colorado Springs

Public campground · Colorado Springs · 18 campsites

A forested campground near hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

gov, and the campground follows the site's standard cancellation and no-show policies: canceling up to two days before your reservation start date incurs a $10 cancellation fee; canceling the day before or the day of arrival carries a $10 service fee plus forfeiture of the first night's use fee (including tax and add-ons); a single-night reservation canceled forfeits the full amount paid. No-shows are assessed a $20 service fee and forfeit the first night's rate, and staff will hold a reserved site only until check-out time on the day after your scheduled arrival.

How far ahead to book Painted Rocks

For May weekends, book about 173 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 140 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

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 (2,793 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.
