Clyde Campground

Located 90 min from Colorado Springs. About 30 min of that is washboard dirt roads, some only 1 lane. Turn off is right after a 1-lane tunnel. Sites are undeveloped (free), but do have enough flat space for several tents at some, sufficient for our group of 13 between 2 neighboring sites. Fire rings at each site. No other facilities. Minimal traffic and very quiet (until another group came by to do some target shooting practice, but that stopped at dark.) October camping is very cool at night (frost on tents every morning), but days are so pleasant. View of mountainside each morning as the sunlight creeps down is spectacular. One site had an entrance impassible with anything but a large vehicle, but most sites were ok for a low-riding minivan. Ground is very hard, so difficult to dig latrine for waste. Being a big shovel. Creek running near site... very cool this time of year. Kids loved playing there. Lots of biting flies. Ouch. No mosquitoes in October. But spray helped a bit. Find out when it is hunting season if you don't hunt, and don't camp those weekends... easier to get sites and safer for kids. No Verizon service. 1 bar with T-mobile rarely, though at those times only incoming texts, but usually cannot sent outgoing.

Nice area to camp. Super open place with plenty of parking. Plenty a awesome views with even more places to explore with a bunch of jeep trails near by. ZERO signal so make sure you do your research on trails beforehand. Be mindful of the weather. We did not expect a high amount of wind, and it damaged our camper. It's a easy fix, but it was not fun to tear down at 4am. There is a camp site just down the hill that will keep you out of the wind. You could easily park a giant camper here. I would come from the cripple creek side of old stage though if you do. From the springs, it can be a rough ride.

Most amazing experience.. BEAUTIFUL PLACE 😍
