If you want a park with a little of everything, Chatfield might be the place for you. Situated near the mountains and also close to Denver, Chatfield is a busy place on the weekends with boaters lined up to enter the park. The reservoir provides an updated swim beach, several areas to fish, a trail that circles the lake, and numerous, full hook-up campsites. An area to fly model planes, trails for bike riding, a museum, visitors center, day-use picnic areas, and hot air balloons launching can also be found here. In other words- it's a busy place that offers fun and relaxation. We have stayed here a few times. Several pull-through campsites that are mostly level and paved with FHU are here. Large trees in almost all sites provide shade, especially for people in exterior loops. A fire ring and picnic table are at each site. Shower/bath buildings are in each loop. Trees are generally cottonwood or juniper (low growing). This sits very near Roxborough State Park, a day-use only park that is definitely also worth a trip if staying here. We have also camped here when going to Red Rocks Concerts. Campsites are rarely close enough to walk/carry your kayak to the lake, but there are some close enough to see the lake and all are close to the trails to bike and walk. For More: minnieoutwest.com
