I would not stay here again. The spots are so tight you're right on top of each other. Spots are also very tiny in general. We were sitting around the fire just talking (we had a bigger group that took up 3 spots - 15 people in total 9 or which were kids all ages). They felt the need to remind us 40 minutes before quiet time about quiet time - we were already working on it - I don't need mommed while I'm camping. We had the kids in bed and asleep by 10pm while we sat around the fire chatting until around midnight. The next morning we got told we were way too loud disrupting the campsite and "partying" - that's hilarious to me because we are not a partying group nor did we do anything other than sit around the fire and talk. We didn't rave or act routy... We sat around the fire talking.. They reminded us of quiet hours but said we aren't expected to be in bed by then - so what do you expect people to do if we can't sit around the fire and chat without being accused of "partying". The only reason I gave two stars vs one is because the staff was nice and respectful. We will not be staying there again nor would I suggest to anyone.
I'm fairly new to campgrounds and camping, but have had some experience. The space for your camp is pretty small, but mainly because you have to be able to fit your car there mostly. If there were somehow a parking area or lot it would help with having more room for tents. I felt uncomfortable being so near other campers as the first family we were by did not respect other campers at all. Loud until midnight, letting their children run through our camp. The office does let you know to call in case of situations like this. As we were about to call, the family finally went to bed. I am thankful there are showers and bathrooms, and the water was hot. The bathroom stalls are weirdly close to the toilets where I almost felt squished, but it was manageable. I did see a sign for a bear on the loose, and I hope it can be humanely transported elsewhere. There is a rooster nearby which likes to let you know to wake up right at 5am. The highway is near as well and you can hear the trucks and cars.
Campground is conveniently located to Garden of the Gods. I camped here in June for one night while passing through. Staff was friendly, however, I was not impressed with this campground's cleanliness or organization. Upon check in, another guest had their tent set up in the site I had reserved. The employee fortunately had another site available for me to go to instead. Note - The tent sites that allow camper vans are very small and not well marked. The loop is essentially a dirt circle with a couple site numbers in the ground and picnic tables. When I went to use the sinks up front labeled for dish-washing, I found one sink clogged and filled with water, and the other sinks (both fish cleaning area and dish-washing sinks) filled with fish guts making the entire area smell. The bathrooms were somewhat clean, but the showers were quite dirty. I hoped that this was all just because it was later in the evening. Unfortunately the dish-washing sinks and bathrooms were the exact same in the morning when I went to wash dishes from breakfast. Nothing appeared to be cleaned overnight as most campgrounds do. While this campground is convenient to Colorado Springs & other tourist spots, I would recommend staying somewhere else and avoiding this campground due to a lack of cleanliness, organization, and poor quality campsites.
The name says it all. This is a campground. Do not expect level sites or paved parking. Everyone had a great time. Awesome service and more than adequate facilities. The pool was clean, maintained several times a day, and very popular with the kids. Also the playground with swings and large wooden structure was always busy. There also is an outdoor dish washing station. The store was well stocked with reasonable prices given the location. If you like a rustic environment with city amenities you will love Lone Duck Camoground.
Great little family oriented campground 15 minutes away from Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, Manitou, Old Colorado, etc. Heated pool, fishing pond, retro arcade, and playground. 24 hour showers, laundry, and access to microwave for those tenting. RV sites are a little tight, but not terrible for 35' and under. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Great little gift shop with most staples and fun souvenirs. It's perfect for every age. Price point was good, especially with all the amenities they provide. Felt like we were camping with a bunch of friends and family even though we're from way down in Texas.
