Took a 5th-grade overnighter here and was great. They got to go on hikes and do some bonding. If I heard right, it's like a bed and breakfast also.

The hike up to the fire tower is a nice, short hike that goes through a few types of terrain and switchbacks along the mountain until you reach the top. There's a tower up there built out of wood that you can climb and see all the way back to Lake Pueblo Reservoir.
There are several more hikes in this park which I didn't get to try. It looks like a nice place to have a picnic, with lots of tables underneath tall pines...
