BOOK YOUR STAY

The Best Campground in Colorado

Discover a year-round, family-friendly campground just one hour south of Colorado Springs, featuring breathtaking mountain views, a unique learning center and library focused on space and nature, and unforgettable adventures—book your stay today!
 

Observer Ranch has officially transitioned to winter operations. All Planet RVs and standard RV sites are now fully winterized, meaning electric-only hookups are available during the winter season. Water lines are turned off to protect the system from freezing temperatures.

If you need access to water, a central water fill station is available on-site, and our team is happy to help guide you. Please plan accordingly for cold-weather camping and bring any necessary winter gear or equipment to keep your RV systems protected.

We appreciate your cooperation as we maintain a safe and reliable campground through the colder months. If you have any questions or need assistance preparing for your stay, please reach out—we’re here to help you enjoy a cozy winter at Observer Ranch!

This place is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Sunrises and sunsets here are as good or better than anywhere I’ve ever been. Just magical. We just watched it snowing giant flakes out our camper window as we went to sleep, all nice and toasty and warm with the wind buffeting against the side of the camper. That was so relaxing. And the staff is the best anywhere, they will make you feel completely comfortable the whole time

Observer Ranch provides an amazing experience for people not only seeking a gorgeous place to stay under the big sky but to actively engage in acquiring a deeper understanding of earth and space weather. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. It is also delightful to meet other campers from all over the country who are seeking a unique learning experience. I am excited to return again in the near future!

Absolutely amazing! I rolled in with my camper for my daughter and I's first trip together in the camper. My tire was very low and Eddie not only assisted in teaching us to set up but also got my low tire filled with air. Not only can you learn and camp and see all the beautiful stars BUT it's so close to Co Spgs that a quick getaway can happen at any time! Definitely will be back!

My guy and I drove down from the Springs to get away for a night before our baby comes. And we had a great time! We went during a heavy snow storm which I don’t really recommend unless your car can make it which ours did but we committed to that date and I’m so glad we did because the snow just made it feel so dreamy and cozy. The ranch was so accommodating we went and borrowed games and hung out in the library for a bit. It’s such a beautiful space. I look forward to going down again for more of their events they host there and I’m glad we live so close. 10/10 highly recommend checking it out!
