From Colorado Springs and Points South Take I-25 north to the Founders/Meadows exit (highway 85). Take highway 85 north to C-470 west. Continue on C-470 west to the LEFT exit for highway 6. Follow highway 6 west to highway 93. Go north on highway 93 approximately 1 mile to Golden Gate Canyon road. Turn left and follow Golden Gate Canyon road 13 miles to the Visitor Center. The campground is approximately 5 miles from the Visitor Center. RVs or vehicles towing large trailers may prefer to follow highway 6 west to highway 119. Go north on 119 through Blackhawk to Gap Road (approximately 11 miles). Turn right on Gap Road to access Reverend’s Ridge Campground.
NO RV’s AND TRAILERS ALLOWED ON MOUNTAIN BASE ROAD.
Keep going straight on 46 West, turn right on highway 119, and turn right on Gap Road to get to Reverends Ridge Campground.
And when you leave.... TURN RIGHT on Gap Road to get out. That left turn out of the gate, is the same road that RVs and Trailers aren’t allowed on.
Lots of pull through spots for RVs, electric hookups available. Caution: before Memorial day the dump station & showers are subject to be closed, we had to find alternatives for water & dumping during our trip. It can snow with little notice and then be 60 degrees the next day. The Racoon Trail is a beautiful hike up to Panorama Point.
Lovely campground in the mountains not far from Denver. Lots of hiking options and great views from panorama point. No cell coverage at all for Verizon. 5 loops for campers with electric and a lot of tent camping sites. Reservations are required in advance
Camped Fri thru Sun nights July 4th weekend. It was a great campground. One caution...pick your time of year wisely. Pine pollen was so thick it looked like yellow clouds. The reason for only 4 stars is the design of the fire pit and fire pit surround and the raised area around the fire pit. Pit did not offer much depth and no adjustment for height of grate above fire. Raised fire pit surround made it very difficult to sit around the campfire.
