Falcon Meadow RV Campground
80831 Falcon
États-Unis
We are a small rural family campground on Colorado’s high plains. Open all year, Falcon Meadow RV Campground is located on US Hwy 24 about 15 miles east of downtown Colorado Springs and about a mile west of Falcon town center. We have big, full hook-up pull thrus for the big rigs (20-30-50 amp) and tent sites large enough to spread out. Our 36-site campground is at 6,800 feet altitude, looking across the 20,000 acre Banning-Lewis Ranch with Pikes Peak (14,110 feet altitude) in the background. Happy camping and RVing.

Écrire un avisI wouldn’t call this a campground. I would call it an old trailer park that they tried to turn into a campground. If we weren’t tired and having difficulty finding somewhere to stay in the area, I would have left immediately. We stayed on site 22 and then had to move to site 28. It is a family run business but no one is spending money on it. The entrance is off a busy highway and you have to get around the gas pumps, which is difficult when customers are pumping gas. Lots of highway noise. The interior roads are mostly dirt with a little gravel and major potholes. The sites are packed together in weird configurations making it difficult to maneuver. It is mostly full time residents here and they are not well kept. There is a basketball court in the middle of the campground, a swing set, old, buried tires and a broken golf cart that make up the “playground”. The back of the campground has several dilapidated buildings at the edge of the property that remind me of a Halloween exhibit. The bath house looks new on the outside but the inside was dirty and looked like it had a new skin on a rotten core. I refused to use it. The only positive I have for this “campground” is the laundry. The machines all worked and looked clean. We do not plan to return.

I have to disagree with many of the low-rated reviews here. Pros: Upon our arrival, both ladies working were very nice and helpful, this after allowing us to arrive 1.5 hours early. We were escorted to our site and briefed on what we could do if we need anything. Their office hours are longer than most campgrounds I'm aware of, which is nice. We had plenty of room away from other guests, simply due to the layout of the park. Cons: It can get VERY WINDY! We had in the neighborhood of 40 mph one evening we were there and you could definitely feel it. Also, we were VERY close to HWY 24- so close that we were praying nobody would run off the road and hit us. There is a slight berm with a short stone wall on top, but it won't stop anyone. It is dirt and dust, but not out of control. There are lots of restroom and shower facilities, some of which are brand new, so they are making some improvements. Also, while there are some trashy-looking, permanent RVs, we never felt unsafe by occupants or shady activity. Oh, and don't rely on their weak, unsecured WiFi for anything. This would never be a 1st choice destination for us, but we would stay here again without hesitation if needed.

Rate was $45 plus tax. We had site 13 at the back and we were facing a field. We had a great view of Pikes Peak. Some sites don’t have sewer and are $42. We didn’t hear much of the road noise. There are some full timers here that leave early during the week.

We spent 6 nights here as we had to be near Colorado Spring for work and the State Park we really wanted to stay in was booked. The park is old. It's been around since 1959. It is laid out rather strangely, but is fairly easy to get around. We had a pull through site (#3) with full hookups and shade. There are LOTS of rabbits that live in this park. The weren't a bother to us, but our dog wasn’t the biggest fan.

We have tried to stay at this place twice - last year without reservations, and this year calling ahead a week in advance. Last year we were told we could stay one night but would then have to leave. We opted not to because the place was a dump. It was full of transient residents who had trashed the place. Although hesitant, we decided to give it another try this year because they're close to friends who we want to visit. Called a week in advance to reserve 3 nights. We were told they only rent for one night. Then you have to leave. I guess that would be ok if you're just passing thru. They obviously don't need business from RVers like us.
