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!
