We spent two nights at the Garden of the Gods campground and toured the Colorado Springs area. We took in an antique glass show in Castle Rock, shopped the outlet malls, and visited an old theater in downtown Colorado Springs. One night we attended a chorale performance at a local church. This particular campground offers many amenities including full hook ups, swimming, and organized activities during the summertime, and it is located within city limits for convenient access. However, the sites are very close together, and you really get to know your neighbors whether you want to or not :-). Although it is a very nice and clean
urban camping facility, it isn't the type of campground for folks who would rather be camping out in the middle of the forest.The highlight for me was standing in the shadow of Pikes Peak and photographing the beautiful and odd-shaped, giant red rocks in the Garden of the Gods. So much to do and see in this area - we will definitely be coming back.
