After reading all the reviews about the evil landlord or owners, I wouldn’t stay at this park if it was the last park on earth. It seems like there’s a lot of parks like this. I’d advise anybody wanting to stay at this place to stay clear. You’re just gonna have misery.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I am writing this review to warn other people. It’s not worth it, the other reviews are true. It will not be different for you. I stayed there for 4 months until we couldn’t take it anymore. We were evicted for no reason almost every month (sometimes weekly) by a sticky note left on the door. So you never quite feel welcome at your own home wondering what made up rule you broke. The first ever eviction scared us to our core but apparently it’s standard according to the other residents. Madeline the owner is hateful and rude. I have a voicemail from her on my phone saying “just wait until I see you when I’m having a bad day and I’m just gonna make you leave.” She charged at us screaming “I don’t like you.” Kim is a long term resident and creates equal problems. She gives mean looks and complains if you throw your trash away. It’s a shame because there are good people there but they defend Madeline and her behavior. It’s unsettling and no one should have to deal with that. We paid extra for electricity, rent increased 100$ & we have gone days at a time without running water. Seriously, don’t stay here. The picture is from the day we got an eviction notice for our lot looking “like a construction site.”

Quiet campground. They do not answer their phones the majority of the time, and also lack any amenities (no showers, bathrooms, laundromat) however, it is a very affordable price considering the area. The views of Garden of the Gods are very pleasant as well.

Full disclosure, I haven't actually stayed here. I planned on it next week when I'm in Manitou Springs but after reading the reviews, I'll pass. I can deal with nutso people so it's not that. It's because it sounds like she feeds the local bear population. Combine that with the repeated reports about her hostility towards larger dogs, who will most likely threaten a bear, and this campground is a horrible accident waiting to happen. Any nature person knows that "a fed bear is a dead bear". The bears may be acclimated to people because she feeds them, but dogs are not acclimated to bears and if a dog threatens a bear, the bear will respond. This will lead to the bear being shot by the rangers.
