✏️ Additional Notes / Review: Our stay at Camp Hale on Fort Carson, CO was very pleasant and comfortable. The campground is well-kept with spacious, level sites that made for an easy setup. Full hookups and all pull-thru sites worked perfectly. The facilities—including bathhouses and laundry—were clean and convenient. The atmosphere was peaceful overall, though there is some road noise if you’re on the west side of the campground. We enjoyed relaxing here while being close to Cheyenne Mountain, Garden of the Gods, and Colorado Springs. The friendly, helpful staff made the stay even more enjoyable. It was a pleasant, stress-free experience, and we’d happily return to Camp Hale for another visit.
