The Good: Very clean. Diligently maintained. Super friendly staff.

The Bad: Day use Denverite humans on bicycles who run their mouths as the peddle past. (Get a job, Chad).

The Ugly: national home improvement retail outlet neon serves as a directional reference from every vantage point.

City camp site in beautiful area

Super close to Denver and offered through the City of Lakewood. The sites are for tent/RV and have electric hookups. Beautiful area. There's a few playgrounds within the campground and park area, with access to trails to the lake, a boat launch and boat rental, equestrian stables, and archery. You get a bench and fire pit at your site. Only drawback might be the bathrooms have no night lighting and you have a dumping station instead of sewage hookups. Also water is available but not at the site. But all in all a really great find and affordable for the area!
