Cheyenne Mountain State Park · caps RVs at 40 ft

Year-round
Opened to public access in 2006 — among Colorado's newest state parks — the 1,680-acre tract on the eastern slope of Cheyenne Mountain sits directly above NORAD's underground command facility, which means cell coverage at certain campsites is intermittent by federal-installation design rather than terrain. The 51-site campground (Aspen Loop + Limber Pine Loop) runs 30/50-amp electric and water hookups at a 40-ft cap, year-round operation, with the dump station near the entrance. Reservations open 6 months ahead via the Colorado Parks & Wildlife portal. The trail system maintains 20 miles of singletrack at moderate gradient — the rare Front Range park that genuinely accommodates beginner mountain bikers in addition to the climb-focused intermediate routes. Black bear and mountain lion activity is documented and the campground enforces strict food-storage rules.
