Cripple Creek, Colorado
Cripple Creek is an old west gold town complete with casinos, saloons and poker rooms plus a number of interesting non-gaming attractions. Cripple Creek has maintained the old style gold mining town feel. During the summer, in addition to gambling, there are gold mine tours, gold panning adventures, an old-fashioned train ride and two interesting museums.
Cripple Creek is located near Colorado Springs. From Interstate 25 exit 141, go west on US-24 to the town of Divide, then south on Hwy-67 into Cripple Creek. The road into Cripple Creek is two lanes with sharp curves and steep grades. Note that there is no free overnight parking avalable in the tight casino lots, but free daytime parking (some limited spaces) may be found on Hwy-67 coming into town. Also, there is one campground in Cripple Creek.

I have stayed at the KOA abovee Cripple Creek. It has been many years ago, but at the time it was a nice enough place to spend the night. Not any shade but a cool view of the town and once the sun goes down a cool place to sit outside. If anyone has tried it recently, I would like an update. Plan to revisit Cripple Creek again. Still have some $5 tokens left from the casinos I need to return to them :)
