The park was much bigger than I thought. The sites are decently spread out but this park is always packed due to it’s close proximity to Denver so I would recommend reserving ahead of time. There are lots of biking/hiking trails that mostly cover the area around the reservoir. The “beach” area was my favorite. The water was cool and felt great back in August when the days were excruciatingly hot.

The bathrooms were clean but showers are coin operated so bring quarters (some of their change machines weren’t working). It was $1.25 for 6 minutes of hot water. Depending on which shower stall you choose you may get great water pressure or you may get one that dribbles. Coin operated laundry is available (indoor) and the machines are clean and well maintained.

This is definitely a great place to get out of the city for a couple days. Bonus points if you have a boat and can take full advantage of the reservoir.
