The Pikes Peak Region has much to offer to the camper. In addiiton to to the DOZENS of National Forest (NF) Camgrounds, there is plenty of national forest and BLM land that you can camp at.

Some of my favorite places to camp are:

• Buffalo NF Camground
• This is a great little campground near Bailey, CO
• The area has great views, wonderful forests, and plenty of hikes
• There are many places to camp besides the NF campground
  
• The Crags NF Campground
• At the base of Pikes Peak (on the 'back side')
• Wonderful views, and some excellent hikes
• Relatively close to Cripple Creek, Woodland Park, and Colorado Springs
• Link to the NF Camground site
  
• Rosemont Reservoir Area
• This one is a little bit of a drive to get to - but well worth it
• Not an official NF campground
• MANY sites to camp in this area
• The surrounding area has dozens of back-country roads to drive
  
• Here's Google Map of the area

I'll be adding more places in the future, check back often!
