Campgrounds near Ellicott, Colorado
Ellicott is an unincorporated community on the eastern plains of El Paso County, roughly 25 miles east of downtown Colorado Springs along US Highway 24. The area sits at around 6,200 feet on high, dry shortgrass prairie, with Pikes Peak visible to the west and Colorado Springs, the Air Force Academy, and Garden of the Gods all within an easy drive.
RV travelers use Ellicott as a lower-traffic base for exploring the Pikes Peak region without navigating downtown congestion or mountain grades. The Falcon/Colorado Springs NE KOA sits a short 25 minutes from downtown Colorado Springs, and other nearby options include Falcon Meadow RV Campground, Wrangler RV Ranch and Motel, Peak RV Resort, and Cadillac Jack's RV Park and Campground. Cadillac Jack's operates just outside Calhan on Colorado's eastern plains and accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections.
Expect open prairie sites with big-sky views rather than forested canopy. The terrain is generally flat, which suits big rigs, and Highway 24 provides a straight, low-stress approach from either direction.
Things to do near Ellicott
Most trips center on the Pikes Peak region. The Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway climbs America's Mountain on a 3.5 hour round trip ride that offers mountain views and scenery. At the summit of 14,115 feet above sea level, a visitors center provides expansive views, outdoor walkways, and interpretive exhibits about the history of the mountain. Garden of the Gods, Old Colorado City, and the U.S. Air Force Academy visitor center are all within about an hour's drive.
Closer to camp, families use the open plains for stargazing, cycling on quiet county roads, and day trips to Paint Mines Interpretive Park near Calhan, known for its dramatic hoodoos, spires, and sculpted clay formations layered in shades of red, yellow, orange, and purple.
On-site activities at Falcon/Colorado Springs NE KOA include basketball, pickleball, tetherball, a recreation area for picnics and BBQs, and a playground, which helps break up longer stays with kids.
Camping spots and RV parks near Ellicott, CO
When to visit Ellicott
- spring
March - May
61° / 34°F 40 mmWindy and variable; March is typically the snowiest month.
- summer
June - August
82° / 55°F 65 mmPeak season with afternoon thunderstorms; book weekends weeks ahead.
- fall
September - November
63° / 36°F 25 mmMild days, cold nights; aspen color peaks in late September.
- winter
December - February
45° / 19°F 13 mmCold and dry with periodic snow; limited full-service RV parks.
The prime RV window on this stretch of the Front Range runs from late May through September, when overnight lows stay above freezing and afternoon highs sit in the 70s and 80s. Summer afternoons often bring short, intense thunderstorms; plan hikes and Pikes Peak trips for morning hours.
Shoulder seasons are useful for travelers who want lower demand. Aspen color in the nearby mountains typically peaks around the last weekend of September, with warm daytime temps in the mid 70s and lows near 40, making late September and early October attractive for scenic drives, though nights turn cold quickly.
Winter camping is possible but limited. Cadillac Jack's operates from April through October on Colorado's eastern plains, while some Ellicott-area parks stay open year round with reduced services. March is typically the snowiest month on the Front Range, and spring storms can bring blizzard conditions into April, so early-season arrivals should watch forecasts and be ready to delay travel.

How to book campgrounds near Ellicott
Private RV parks in the Ellicott, Falcon, Peyton, and Calhan corridor take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. The Falcon/Colorado Springs NE KOA asks travelers to call the office to book an RV camping reservation, or to let staff know if arriving just for the day, and it can also be booked online through the KOA reservation system.
For summer weekends and holidays, book six to eight weeks out; sites near Pikes Peak fill quickly around Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day. Long-stay travelers have options too: Falcon/Colorado Springs KOA offers a long term stay on a monthly agreement.
There are no federal or state park campgrounds inside Ellicott itself, so recreation.gov and Colorado Parks and Wildlife reservations do not apply locally. Travelers wanting public-land camping typically drive west into the Pike National Forest and reserve through recreation.gov.
What to expect on the ground
Expect prairie, wind, and wide horizons rather than shaded pine sites. The area features flat terrain with open spaces and scattered trees, and sunsets over Pikes Peak are a highlight. Midday sun is strong at elevation, so bring shade and sunscreen.
Most parks in this corridor are big-rig friendly. The Falcon/Colorado Springs NE KOA sits a short 25 minutes from downtown Colorado Springs, with area military bases, the Air Force Academy, and Garden of the Gods a convenient drive from the park, and offers 100-foot pull-through sites and 20, 30, and 50 amp service.
Cell coverage is generally good along the Highway 24 corridor, with full Verizon service reported at the KOA. Grocery runs are easiest in Falcon or east Colorado Springs, and fuel is available in Peyton and Calhan.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Ellicott, CO
What does it cost to rent an RV in Ellicott, CO?
An RV rental in Ellicott is often more affordable than booking hotels for a Pikes Peak region trip. On RVezy, you'll typically find campervans starting around $95 to $150 per night, travel trailers from $100 to $180, and larger Class A or Class C motorhomes from $200 to $350 per night, depending on age and amenities. Hosts in the Ellicott and Colorado Springs area set their own pricing, mileage, and add-on fees, so you can filter by your budget. Pro tip: book midweek in May or September to score a cheap RV rental Ellicott travelers love, with cooler crowds at Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Ellicott,ColoradoDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Ellicott, CO?
In Colorado, your standard Class C (regular) driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Ellicott for personal use, no Commercial Driver's License (CDL) required. The vast majority of motorhomes and travel trailers on RVezy fall well under the 26,001-pound weight threshold that would trigger CDL rules. You'll need to be 25 or older with a valid license, and RVezy verifies approved drivers during booking. Visiting from abroad? Pick up an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country auto association before your trip. Then you're set to roll out toward Pikes Peak.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs my RV rental protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, every RVezy booking in Ellicott automatically includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit Highway 24 toward Pikes Peak with confidence. The protection plan covers damages to the vehicle and provides financial peace of mind. During booking, you choose your level of coverage, so you pick what feels right for your family RV trip in Ellicott. That means a flat tire on US-24 or a lockout at a campground is one call away from help, 24/7. Book knowing you're backed up the whole way.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Ellicott RV rental?
You can book with confidence: RVezy sets the cancellation policy for every Ellicott RV rental, and there's a grace period after booking where you can cancel for a full refund. Cancellation outcomes depend on how far before your trip you cancel. You'll see the exact policy and current details on the RVezy website before you confirm. If a host cancels, RVezy refunds the guest or provides travel credits. Pro tip: Colorado weather can shift fast at 6,000+ feet elevation, so it's reassuring to know the platform has your back if plans need to flex.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an RV rental in Ellicott, CO?
Absolutely, a pet-friendly RV rental in Ellicott is easy to set up. Use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to instantly see hosts who welcome dogs, and message them through the listing if you have a larger breed or multiple pets. Once you've got your rig, Colorado has fantastic leash-friendly spots nearby: Garden of the Gods, Palmer Park in Colorado Springs, and the Santa Fe Regional Trail all allow leashed dogs. Cheyenne Mountain State Park's campground is also dog-friendly. Pro tip: keep water handy, since the high-plains air around Ellicott is dry and dogs dehydrate faster at elevation than at sea level.
cpw.state.co.us/cheyenne-mountainCan the RV be delivered to my campground or home in Ellicott?
Yes, RV delivery in Ellicott is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-time renters. Many hosts will drive the RV to your address, a campground like Falcon Meadow RV Campground, or even all the way to Cheyenne Mountain State Park, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to see hosts who offer it, and check their per-mile delivery fee on the listing. This is a game-changer if you're nervous about driving a motorhome on I-25 through Colorado Springs traffic. Show up, unpack, and start your adventure.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Ellicott,ColoradoHow far can I drive on my Ellicott RV trip?
You've got serious range from Ellicott, CO. Hosts on RVezy set their own mileage policies, with many offering 100 to 150 free miles per day and some offering RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is perfect for a longer Colorado loop. From Ellicott, you're 25 miles to Colorado Springs, about 70 miles to Denver, 120 miles to Royal Gorge, 145 miles to Great Sand Dunes National Park, and 190 miles to Rocky Mountain National Park. Filter listings by mileage allowance before booking to match your route, and you'll have a clear sense of your fuel and mileage budget for the trip.
codot.gov/travel/scenic-bywaysWhere are the best campgrounds near Ellicott, CO?
You're surrounded by excellent options for RV camping Ellicott. The best campgrounds near Ellicott include Falcon Meadow RV Campground in Peyton (about 12 miles north, open year-round on the high plains), Garden of the Gods RV Resort in Colorado Springs (full hookups, 25 minutes west), Cheyenne Mountain State Park (51 full-hookup sites at the base of NORAD's mountain), Mueller State Park near Divide (132 sites with stunning Pikes Peak views), and Pikes Peak RV Park in Manitou Springs (walking distance to the Cog Railway). Local insider tip: Cheyenne Mountain sites release exactly six months out at midnight Mountain Time on cpwshop.com, so set a calendar reminder.
cpw.state.co.us/state-parks/cheyenne-mountain-state-parkWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip from Ellicott?
The sweet spot for an RV road trip from Ellicott runs late May through early October, when daytime highs sit in the 70s to mid-80s and overnight lows stay above freezing at 6,000-foot elevation. July and August bring afternoon thunderstorms, so plan drives in the morning. September is a local favorite: warm days, crisp nights, golden aspens up at Mueller State Park, and fewer crowds at Pikes Peak. Winters get cold (lows in the teens and snow), but heated RVs can absolutely make winter trips work for skiing trips. Pro tip: shoulder season (May and September) often means lower nightly rates from hosts too.
weather.gov/pub/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay?
You'll be more than okay, first time renting an RV in Ellicott is genuinely easy. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through the generator, slide-outs, water systems, propane, leveling, and dump procedures. You can message your host anytime during the trip with questions, and RVezy's support team is available 24/7. Most first-timers choose a Class C motorhome or travel trailer under 25 feet, which drives much like a large van. Bonus: if you'd rather skip driving altogether, book a host who offers delivery and they'll set everything up at your campsite. Confidence-builder built in.
codot.gov/safetyWhat happens if I break down during my Ellicott RV trip?
Take a breath, you're covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on US-24 heading up to Woodland Park, a dead battery near Calhan, or an engine issue on I-25 is just a phone call away from help. You'll get the roadside number in your booking confirmation, and you can also reach out to your host directly through the RVezy app. Pro tip: cell coverage along the eastern plains east of Ellicott can get spotty, so screenshot the roadside number before leaving town.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Ellicott RV rental out of state or into Canada?
Yes, interstate travel is welcome on most RVezy rentals, so a Colorado-to-Wyoming-to-South Dakota loop or a New Mexico run down to Taos is totally doable. Popular RV road trip from Ellicott routes include heading north to Cheyenne and the Black Hills (around 350 miles to Mount Rushmore), south to Santa Fe (about 350 miles), or west over Monarch Pass to Moab, Utah (around 400 miles). Cross-border travel into Canada may be allowed, just message the host first and confirm. Important: travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals due to insurance coverage limits. Stick to the US and Canada and you're free to roam.
cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-goWhat kind of fuel mileage and gas budget should I expect?
Budgeting fuel for your motorhome rental Ellicott trip is straightforward. Class B campervans typically get 18-22 miles per gallon (MPG), Class C motorhomes 8-12 MPG, Class A motorhomes 6-10 MPG, and trucks pulling travel trailers around 10-14 MPG. Gas in the Colorado Springs area generally runs slightly below the national average, with stations in Falcon, Peyton, and Calhan being the closest convenient fill-ups to Ellicott. A 300-mile round-trip Pikes Peak loop in a Class C usually runs around $90-$130 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up in town before heading into the mountains; prices climb noticeably in Woodland Park and Cripple Creek.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Ellicott?
For summer weekends at popular Colorado state parks like Cheyenne Mountain, Mueller, or Eleven Mile, book exactly six months out at midnight Mountain Time on cpwshop.com (Colorado Parks and Wildlife's reservation site), which is when new dates open. Private RV parks like Garden of the Gods RV Resort and Falcon Meadow can usually be booked 1-3 months ahead, though July 4th weekend fills fast. For midweek or shoulder-season trips, even a week's notice often works. Pro tip: a $10-$11 daily vehicle pass is required at all CPW state parks on top of your campsite fee, so factor that in.
cpw.state.co.us/campingWhat are the driving conditions like around Ellicott, CO?
Driving an RV around Ellicott is refreshingly easy, you're on the wide-open eastern plains where roads like Highway 94 and Highway 24 are flat, straight, and lightly trafficked. Heading west into the mountains is where things get interesting: Ute Pass on US-24 toward Woodland Park climbs steadily, and Pikes Peak Highway has a strict vehicle length limit (RVs over 24 feet aren't allowed beyond Glen Cove). Watch for sudden afternoon thunderstorms in summer, gusty crosswinds on I-25, and occasional fast-moving snow squalls in winter. Pro tip: check COtrip.org from CDOT (Colorado Department of Transportation) for real-time road conditions, chain laws, and pass closures before you head out.
codot.gov/travel/colorado-511What amenities do campgrounds near Ellicott offer for RVs?
Local campgrounds are well set up for RVs. Most private parks like Falcon Meadow Campground and Garden of the Gods RV Resort offer full hookups (water, 30/50-amp electric, sewer), Wi-Fi, laundry, and showers. Colorado state parks like Cheyenne Mountain offer 50-amp electric and water at sites plus a central dump station and potable water fill-up. Need to dump on the road? Eleven Mile State Park's dump station is open by request in winter, and most KOAs in the Colorado Springs area sell day-use dump access for $10-$15. Pro tip: bring a water pressure regulator, since some Front Range campgrounds run high pressure that can damage RV plumbing.
cpw.state.co.us/state-parks/eleven-mile-state-park/eleven-mile-state-park-camping-lodgingWhat amenities come in a typical Ellicott RV rental?
You'll be comfortable. A typical campervan rental Ellicott or motorhome on RVezy comes with sleeping for 2-8 people, a kitchen with a fridge, propane stove, microwave, sink, dining area, bathroom with toilet and shower, air conditioning, furnace for cold high-plains nights, and seatbelted seating for travel. Many rigs also include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, generator, awning, and outdoor camp chairs. Wi-Fi varies (eastern El Paso County has decent Verizon and AT&T coverage, but spotty pockets exist). Check each listing's amenities section to confirm exactly what's included. Pro tip: pack layers, even July nights at 6,000 feet drop into the 50s and that furnace feels great.
fcc.gov/general/broadband-mapWhat add-ons and features can I add to my Ellicott RV rental?
Hosts on RVezy typically offer add-ons that make your Ellicott trip smoother: linens and bedding kits ($30-$75), kitchen packages with pots and dishes, camp chairs and tables, bikes, kayaks, generators, propane refills, and even pet kits. Many also offer delivery and setup for a per-mile fee. Pickup and drop-off times are set by the host (commonly 1 PM pickup, 11 AM drop-off, mirroring local campground turnover). Mileage policies vary, look for hosts offering 100-150 free miles per day or unlimited mileage if you're planning a longer RV trip from Ellicott. Pro tip: book add-ons during checkout so they're guaranteed at pickup.
colorado.com/road-tripsHow do payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
It's straightforward and secure. You pay through RVezy's platform at booking using a credit or debit card, no cash and no off-platform transfers, which keeps you protected. A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment (typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the RV), and it's released after your trip if there's no damage, missing items, or extra cleaning needed. RVezy manages the deposit, not the host. Pro tip: take time-stamped photos and a quick walkaround video of the RV at pickup and drop-off, this is the single best way to avoid deposit disputes.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I do a winter RV trip from Ellicott, CO?
Yes, winter RV trips from Ellicott are a hidden gem. Several RVezy hosts in the Colorado Springs area offer four-season rigs with heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, and propane furnaces built for cold nights. Cheyenne Mountain State Park stays open year-round, and Ridgway and Eleven Mile State Parks keep select loops plowed and reservable. Use the RV as a cozy basecamp for skiing at Monarch Mountain (about 130 miles) or snowshoeing in Mueller State Park. Pro tip: when temperatures drop below 20°F, ask your host about cold-weather prep, things like keeping freshwater tanks heated, using heated water hoses, and dumping more frequently make winter trips effortless.
