Golden Eagle Campground
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Golden Eagle is the home of the May Bug Museum. They have the largest collection of bugs seen
around the world. At your stop here you
will find a trout pond that is stocked with Rainbow Trout. You will pay a $7.00 daily fee per person to
fish here no Colorado fishing license is needed. This time around the pond is low due to the
drought. We still caught are daily limit
of fish plus all the ones we put back.
You are allowed three fish per person per day.
Animals are allowed here as long as they are on a
leash. No not your husband ladies…your
doggies. They are a pet friendly
campground but dogs are not allowed in the trout pond.
Golden Eagle also offers a hike to the top of the mountain
that overlooks the campground. It is a
medium level hike in my opinion because some areas are extra steep and lots of
loose rocks. Stay on the trails because
there are bears, snakes, and other creatures.
It is a beautiful outlook once you reach the top. There you will look out over the top of
Colorado Springs and see the campground.
There are some things to be aware of when camping here. The hook up for electric can be quite far
from your RV or Trailer. If you need an
extension they provide them at the office for 30 or 50 amp. They require a deposit of $65.00 and it will
be returned to you when you turn the extension cord back in. Also, you will need some leveling blocks
because the ground here can be quite uneven.
You might also need an extension on your water hose because of the
length it has to reach. For the last
thing that might bring you a headache is that you need one of the sewer line
ladders. The length again of the reach
your sewer and black water will not drain properly if you do not have the
ladder. Also, take your time pulling
into the spots some can be tight….
For you people who have to have internet connection they do
offer free WIFI. However, it does not
work…ever and your cell service will be intermittent. So please do not rely on their service
because we could not ever connect while we were there.
They offer laundry facilities and a bath house. The bathroom were always clean and the
showers were spick and span also FREE.
It is very nice to see a campground with such a clean bathroom.
Make your reservation in advance or just call when you are
on your way. It seems like they always
have spots available. They have full
hook ups or electric only sites.
Everyone we ran into seemed very friendly and helpful. It is beautiful there and we enjoy camping
there even with the little headaches.
