Great location

We loved staying here! It was quiet and peaceful, even when it fully booked over Labor Day Weekend. The easy access to the trail around the lake, the spread out sites, the clean bathhouse and laundry room, the sunset over the mountains, the location close to town, and they don’t have any breed restrictions for dogs. I don’t have any complaints about the campground itself.

The only issue we had was that the $17 per vehicle day use fee wasn’t included in the camping cost. We were there for 8 nights and ended up buying the annual Colorado State Parks pass for $80 at the registration office because it was cheaper.

Loved

We stayed here for a total of four weeks this year (two weeks at a time) and it was 100% worth it. Park is kept very clean, many outdoor activities, and the rv spaces were very spacious pull through sites.

Home away from home

We chose Chatfield State Park as the location of our maiden voyage of our new Outdoors RV camper trailer. The pull through sites are wonderful for ‘newbies’ like us! We hiked down to the reservoir and witnessed a herd of about 40 mule meandering between the campsites. It was a great first outing and as it was within 30 miles of our home we were comfortable for sure!

Great for a quick shakedown weekend

We spent the weekend here to try out and fix some things on our travel trailer for the upcoming season.

In the off-season, only one loop is open, there's no water, and none of the bathrooms are open except the main shower building. Fine for us, just an FYI. The park was really well-maintained. It was quiet and peaceful since it wasn't crowded.

The sites are actually pretty spaced out for a bigger campground, but there's not a ton of shade. I think this one is best for spring and fall.

Greast Spot

Stayed the last night with a rental RV that we needed to return to Denver by 10;30 AM.  Campground has an unusual lay out with "loops" being 3 rings of sites.  Sites are spread out well.  Lots of privacy,  Within an hour's drive of the RV rental return location (with a Costco on the way to fill the gas tank).  Some sites have elec/water/sewer at the sites.  Some have just electrical - this was our site.  A communal water/sewer was available with ability to handle two vehicles at the same time.

Super hot. No tree coverage

The group campsite was spacious. The site was also pretty clean. Bathrooms were coin operated so that wasn’t the best for a shower. Would preferred a way to obtain coins or a heads up on that one. The spot we had was far from the lake so it was a bit of a walk. I’d recommend finding a site closer to the lake so you can get to the water quicker when it’s super hot. We had canopies but the sun beat us down pretty bad during the high part of the day. Very pretty paddle boarding sites.

Gateway to the Front Range

Chatfield has quickly become one of our favorite state parks. We have stayed here many times over the last few years. This was our first time camping here with our Class C and we had plenty of room to center our rig while leaving room for our tow dolly and SUV.

We stayed at Site 54 on Loop B. This is the first time we’ve ever noticed the noise from the model airplane field while camping here. We were woken up multiple mornings before 7AM to the sound of model airplanes. Not a big deal, but something to be mindful of if you’re looking to sleep in.

The shower facility at the center of Loop B did not have soap or hand dryers in the restroom. Again, not a big deal, but something to know so you can plan ahead. There was also only one working dryer in the laundry, so it was a challenge to get wash done if multiple campers were trying to wash clothes at the same time.

Super clean

This park is super convenient to the Denver area and recreation on the front range. This is the cleanest campground I've ever stayed at. My campsite had been raked before my arrival. It looked almost like a zen garden. The bathrooms are clean and modern. They have daily activities. The reservoir has some nice beach areas.  The Wi-Fi sucked from my location on the outside edge of A loop but Verizon service was good enough for me to work.

We just arrived yesterday but like it here so far. It is convenient to local amenities like shopping and there is a laundromat right here in the campground. Hot during the day but cools off in the evening and overnight

Nice Campground Close to Civilization

Somewhat crowded even for a hot July day. The campsites were fairly empty but the recreational boaters, swimmers, etc. made for slow going into and around the park.

Sites easy to get into and have graveled tent pads. Bring solid stakes and a hammer if guying anything.

Great views from the sites or with only a short walk. Highway noise was present but not terrible.

Very conveniently located to go grab something to eat, shop, etc.

Chatfield State Park, Colorado

We enjoyed one night in Chatfield. We were on the outskirts of D Loop. The western views of the mountains were beautiful. Better views in other sites but a walk about gave way to the front range. There was road noise as well as noise from remote airplanes. They were fun to watch but definitely loud. We enjoyed coffee with deer in our campsite the next morning.

Plenty of amenities, close to Littleton, Aurora and Denver

This was our second time staying at Chatfield. The park offers lots of amenities and is a convenient place to stay to explore Littleton. Red Rocks Amphitheater and Dinosaur Ridge are a short drive away on 470 West.

B loop offers full hookups including 20/30/50 electric. Water pressure was good and the sewer hookups are threaded which is a nice feature (and helps with the smell!)

Bathrooms were clean. Laundry is inexpensive compared to local laundromats, and accepts quarters as well as pay by mobile app. Change machines are inside the Mens and Womens bathrooms in case you need them, although they were out of order when we visited.

Good Views and Great Convenience

As full timers, we always stay here (year around) when in the Denver area for work. Great playgrounds by the campgrounds, really great laundry facility (also with showers and restrooms if needed). Really well maintained sites and park rangers for added safety and re-enforced rules. The off season is a little more relaxed since less busy.

Very conveniently located (15m any direction), between multiple parts of the city suburbs and Denver interstate system for ease of getting around.

Frequently Called Home When in Denver Area

Having lived and worked in this area (previously not as a full time traveler), Chatfield SP has a lot to offer for being one of the few campgrounds in the Denver Area.

The biggest dog park around (25 acres), many endless, open spaces/trails for biking and ‘hiking’/walks/runs (mostly flat grounds), 15m from most necessities (stores/restaurants etc) Also: Really look forward to doing laundry here as a traveler (kept clean and always in working order with use of machines via an app!)

Camphosts are on time and do a great job cleaning up sites for new guests.

Couple of great playgrounds at the camp loops!

Facing west provides unobstructed views of the park and foothills (varying based on the loop and site)

Overall, clean, safe, spacious and conveniently located while not being IN the city or nearby towns.
