Pretty standard place. Nothing fantastic one way or another.

As it is very close to the city, the temperature stays consistent with Denver temps. So in the summer, it will not be as cool as some mountain spots. That being said, it is very easy to get to and you’ll have the lake right there to cool off!

Entrance into the state park is about $7/day. There is a dog park within the state park that allows off leash and has some ponds the dogs can swim in. Entrance to the dog park is $2.

Clean bathrooms. Very friendly attendant. Level primative spots. $26 for primative.

Nice campground, well kept. Without a reservation you put your name on a list that they start going through at 1pm to assign sites. As someone tent-camping this is no problem, just takes some time (site assigned ~1.5hours after arrival at 13:20). But be wary if you need certain hookups. that being said, there are no ‘tent only’ sites. The minimum has electric ($26). There are 3 different areas - each has multiple bathhouses, which have coin-laundry available. Showers are coin-operated as well.

We spent almost a week in Chatfield in late July of 2018. The campground and facilities were remarkably clean. The other guests were quiet and friendly and the views are spectacular. Chatfield will always hold a special place in my heart.

We really enjoyed all the activities Chatfield offers. Since we live close it will be a regular place for us. The views are amazing, all the lots are level but there's not a lot of shade. It was very quiet and everyone was friendly.

Campground is clean and well maintained. Large fire pits and nice metal picnic tables on every site. Clean bathrooms and showers. We camped in loop C and had nice views of the foothills and water. The swim beach and parts of the park are currently closed due to construction and improvements. We will definitely be back next year to check it out. Campground has little to no shade and can be quite windy at times.

I was the only tent in an RV park but i was still a great experience! freat neighbors and good vibes

Great views of mountains. Just minutes south of Denver. With decent facilities and a playground for kiddos.

It gets a little breezy and there isn’t much shade but it’s an awesome time

Chatfield is great! Clean level camp spots!

Easy , fast, but the water in the dog park is no bueno

Awesome!

We had such a great time at Chatfield! No shortage of sites, even for late arrivers like us. There were bathrooms, a huge fire pit, picnic tables at every site, and nice soft ground for easy staking. No complaints!

Overnight visit

We drove up from Texas and this was our last stop before our destination. We wanted to skirt a storm that was hitting Denver so we headed south and found Chatfield State Park. Our site was nice, it had a pull through, which was excessive for our tent but that's ok. There were a lot of people but it didn't really bother us. We enjoyed a fire in their nice fire pits before the rains came in. But we woke up to hot air balloons lifting off the reservoir and that was pretty cool to see. Very picturesque! Stayed just the one night but it was a worthwhile stop and we'd head back if we went back to that side of the state.

Chatfield is great for a weekend evening hike. We park at the Waterton lot and hike in to avoid fees. Our dog loves to splash splash splash!

This was a wonderful experience for us! If you are looking to be in solitude in nature this is not the place for you. It's very close to Denver, with every amenity you could think Of! This isn't how we usually camp, but after 4 days of driving and hiking we needed this mini oasis! Clean showers, bathrooms, laundry rooms and playgrounds. Even the fire pits were spotless. There are even vending machines and WiFi 😂

Pets okay on leash, lots of bunnies hopping around so keep an eye on your little buddy.

Have been here several times over the years. Very near relatives in Highlands Ranch, CO. It is a cool place to visit and relax. Even better if you want to fish and/or boat!!! Very great for day visits.

Our first visit to Colorado was not a disappointment. The cooler temps (compared to Texas) was a very happy bonus for us. Hot air balloons, geocaching, hiking.... more than enough to keep us busy.

This place is great. Located in Littleton, CO surrounding man made reservoir Chatfield "Lake". I found camping pretty easily without a reservation in the middle of summer, I guess everyone was going out in the hills. I just needed a place to stop, and it was perfect. DON'T GO SWIMMING IN THE WATER! Unless you accept the risk of getting a sty. There are boats chugging along in here all day long, spewing fuel and exhaust waste into the water. It is nice to lay along the beaches and climb a tall tree. Truly a beautiful place, not to be discounted. Great for a short trip from Denver area without any preparation. I really enjoyed walking along the shore of the reservoir, and had a great time climbing the trees on the east side of the "lake"! FUN FUN FUN!

Located in Littleton, Co. on Chatfield Lake. This is a pretty place to visit but would avoid it in summer time. Our AC couldn't keep up with the 100+ temperatures we experienced there in June 2012. The sites were well maintained with hookups. No trees in our loop. Sorry for the negative review. Maybe it would be better to visit here in fall or spring.

I have visited Chatfield reservoir many times and never had a bad experience. The sites are well maintained and the reservoir is always fun to get out on the boat!
