**Campground Review: **

Golden, CO is a super cute town on the outskirts of Denver. The city has a campground in a prime location, and we were lucky to book a site! They have creek front sites that are full hookup and cheaper electric only sites. We opted for one of the electric only sites and are glad we did (UPDATE - we went back a few weeks later and stayed at a creek site.  It was totally worth it!!!  The extra money was worth being able to look at the creek from inside the RV)!! The creek sites are super great, but there is a bike/walk path between the site and the creek that gets A LOT of foot traffic! It’s not cheap to stay here, but the location makes it worth it. We were able to bike or walk everywhere we went, and it was awesome! My husband even rode mountain biking trails right from our site. The campground itself isn’t anything great– it’s the location you are after! We walked by the creek and watched the kayakers enjoying their day. Also, on Saturdays in the summer there is a farmer’s market really close to the campground. We walked down for lunch and were not disappointed! Golden is a great town and Clear Creek is the perfect location to explore it. Warning– they have a pretty intense cancellation policy. If you book a site, be sure you have triple checked your dates!! 

**Primus Fieldchef Pocket Knife: **

As a ranger for the Dyrt, I occasionally get to try new products. I was super excited to try the Primus Fieldchef Pocket Knife. It is such a pain trying to 1) remember to pack a knife when we camp and 2) pack it in a way that won’t puncture our bag/cooler. This knife is great!! We tested it out at Clear Creek RV Park and are super excited to be able to take it with us when we have picnics or backcountry/kayak camp. It’s small so it packs easy but is super sharp and the only knife we will need with us when camping. In fact, we have already used it for a picnic since our stay at Clear Creek and it was again awesome!! It folds up really small and comes with a sleeve for it too. See the picture for size reference, it was smaller than anticipated but since we will be using it when we are on the go it’s perfect!!! The performance was still awesome despite the smaller than anticipated size!!! We love this knife!
