Park Facilities
Amphitheater
Prairie Falcon Event Facility is an outdoor amphitheater with rock-step-amphitheater-style seating. The facility is open May - October and will accommodate a maximum of 160 people. Advance reservations are necessary and a fee is required. Reservations must be made through the park office. Rental information is available on the Group Rentals page.
Camper Services Building
This seasonal location offers showers and coin-operated laundry facilities, an activity room, and an adjacent playground for the kids. Quarters are available at the Visitor Center between 9am to 4pm. Campers, please stop by the Visitor Center for assistance with park passes, site check-ins, and camping reservations.
Campgrounds
There are 51 full-service sites offering water, sewer, and 20/30/50 amp electrical service. Also included in a full-service site are a tent pad, picnic table, and fire pit. There are 10 basic, walk-in tent sites that offer a tent pad, picnic table, and fire pit. During winter camping months, we request that hoses and hose connections do not remain connected to the campsite water spigots. If hoses are left connected to the stem, even if the hose is disconnected from your RV, it may create a vacuum and hold water inside the spigot where it can freeze and damage the water spigot. For general camping information, visit the Cheyenne Mountain camping page.
Electric Vehicle Charging Station
Two charging stations are located in the Visitor Center parking lot. They are first come, first serve and accessible 6 am to 10 pm daily with the cost of the park entry fee. Specific station information is at Chargehub.com.

All 41 day-use picnic areas have a picnic table, charcoal grill, and provide quick access to our trail system. While leashed pets are welcome in the developed picnic areas, please note that dogs are only allowed on select trails. All waste must be picked up immediately and disposed of properly. A number of accessible picnic sites are available for people with disabilities.
