Lovely camp ground with a very nice host. All sites seem to have some shade, but if you want more shade choose a site on the outside of the loop.

The camp host was friendly and helpful. The campground was clean and well maintained. The views were beautiful and the trail down to the reservoir was a nice hike.
What people may not know is there is four miles of washboard road before you turn in to the campground, it gets pretty rough where it may rattle your teeth. We also experience horrible wind throughout the night, gusts up to 50 miles an hour, so be prepared for the potential of that if you are tent camping. We were in a pop-up and I thought that our top might get torn off.

The campground itself is fine, but my campsite, number 12, was the worst in the entire campground. Upon arrival, we saw it, and luckily there were other campsites available, so we moved number 12 is on the edge of a barren hill, looking out over a barren landscape. And the wind was so strong, we were unable to do anything, so we had to move.

The campground was beautiful and the bathrooms were kept very clean. We stayed in site 4 and it was on a pretty big hill and was hard to find a decent flat spot to put our tent. Tent pads would’ve been very helpful as a lot of the sites seemed to be on a hill. Other than that we loved everything!

Here are some good and bad.
Long walk to the lake. Sites are not level and need repairs.
Campsites are close together.
Great fishing.
Great camp host.
A lot of wildlife. A bear came within 50 feet of us.
Beautiful views.

Great camping close to Colorado Springs. Be ready for the wind and afternoon Thunder storms.
Camp hosts were awesome.

Beautiful spot, amazing views. The only downside is right next to the parking spot is a trail to/from the lake that is very busy throughout the day. I car camp so the privacy was not as good as I would have liked, other than that, amazing. Rampart never disappoints!

As always a wonderful experience but this time we had the best camp host ever! Jan was so pleasant, helpful, and kept the restrooms the cleanest we’ve ever seen anywhere. It is one of the highlights of our summer camping to go up to Thunder Ridge to relax and enjoy God’s beautiful creation!
