Forest Service
The U.S. Forest Service manages Comanche National Grassland as part of the Pike-San Isabel National Forests and Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands. Its recreation system includes campgrounds, trailheads, picnic areas, observation sites and other developed and dispersed recreation opportunities across a very large landscape.[1]
What the source does not say
The current Forest Service recreation page does not identify one specific Comanche National Grassland location as an official astronomy or stargazing site. That matters: the guide should not convert a dark-looking public-land region into a single implied nighttime destination without checking the road, parking surface, land status and local restrictions.[1]
How this guide is treating it
Comanche remains in the guide because southeast Colorado can offer very broad horizons and low artificial light away from developed areas, but the next useful step is a field-verified Forest Service site rather than more generic copy about darkness.[1]
