We reserved the group site for scouts in August 2023. It is tents only. Easily accommodated 8 families, though with the incline and rough terrain, it was hard to find good sites for all the tents.

Pavillion has a dirt floor, making it hard to clean spilled food, so be careful. The lights were out, but management quickly got new bulbs. Power and water on site. Bring a hose to easily put out the fire pit! Pavillion has several bats at night through the morning, so clean the 7 tables to avoid guano before eating.

Last year we were near trains. Much quieter here, though we could hear the road. (Not much traffic though.) Great view of the stars and milkyway, so it is far enough from Colorado Springs to not have bad light pollution. Group site is 2 min walk from bathroom, so it may be hard to hold it for little kids first thing in the morning! Trees surrounding site and Pavillion give good shade during heat of the day. Glad for Pavillion when rain hit hard!

Bring bug spray. There are mosquitoes this year. Lots of little frogs for kids to catch and play with.

Don't bring low-riding car. Dirt roads have ruts from water drainage.
