Dakota Ridge RV Park

We stayed here for  one night back in July 2012. We didn't have reservations and needed a place in a pinch. They had plenty of spots. Dakota Ridge RV had a pool and laundry facility so we were set.  There was a ridge to climb above the campground with a great view of the entire park. The sites were very neat and the boys had smooth surfaces to scooter around.
We ate dinner at a biker bar across the street named Susie’s that had live music. The service and food were great.  

Great place to relax in Golden

Clean pool, laundry facilities, daily trash pickup and so many helpers on site! Our first stop at a park, and we loved it! The only downsides are that the campsites are very close and showers could be a bit cleaner.

We enjoyed! 

Friendly staff, easy bookings.   Spaces are close together and many force you and your neighbor into the same grass area - doors open towards each other.    You will certainly be forced to meet and interact with others.   We were somewhat mid-COVID so they did very well to space people apart To be able to maintain distance.   WiFi was pretty poor and I had a booster antenna as well.   No cable.   Everything else was very good - Power, Water, Sewer. 
A fair amount of road noise and lots of motorcycle road noise on the weekend.   Positioned Against a rock ridge and had trails that went for a few miles - maybe more.   Easy to get to even more trails and lots of hiking options.  Liquor Store and Convenience Store across the street.   Gas, Home Depot and a Camping World were within 2 miles.   I think this campground would feel very tight when nearly full during non-COVID times.  

6 Night Stay 

The campground itself is nice, plenty to do around the campground if you like to climb short trails. If you drive for a couple of miles you can enjoy the town of Golden. Rates are a little steep at $45.00 a night for full hook ups. No water or river to fish in, however Clear Creek Campground in Golden does have that and the setting is nicer. They were closed due to the Covid-19 virus. This place will charge you plenty for an hour late check out $25.00 and they won’t budge. 

Nice Campground 

Good site if you want to be close to Denver but still have a short drive to the foothills. There wasn’t a ton of food around besides the bike bar across the street but there were too many bikes with swastikas for us to feel comfortable taking a family there. The live music flowing into the park Friday and Saturday were great though. There are not a lot of sidewalks outside of the park if you want to explore but the green space behind the park was beautiful and had plenty of space to walk or bike. 

Good city site

We loved our time here. The staff was so friendly throughout the entire process from booking, leading us to our site and helping us get situated, being helpful with questions and extensions of our stay, to leaving. 

  

WIFI: They offer free wifi and it would work occasionally for me, although slow. Could not stream video or video chat on their network. 

  

CELL SERVICE: AT&amp;T worked perfect throughout the entire park GYM: They had it open, but encouraged you to BYOLysol wipes to wipe down equipment before and after. They have a small gym, but it was perfect and I was the only one in there every time I went. 

LAUNDRY: The laundry was$2.50/wash and$2.00/dryer; have change machine; was clean with plenty of washers and dryers so never had to wait 

  

OUR SITE: shaded, had a little bush, bunnies everywhere; all asphalt throughout the park which kept us able to open our windows to let the breeze blow in every night without our RV interior getting terribly dusty; level slab; all amenities worked great- we used 30amp; spacious site; picnic table; quiet park; light road noise; around a culdesac. 

  

Live music across the street that was fun to hear from our RV. They didn't play too late into the night, but they are right across the street so keep that in mind when asking about a spot in the park. Some sites, I'm sure heard the music way more than we did. Very accessible location in town to get to surrounding areas; super cool hiking trails and mountain bike trails all around. Closest grocery store is about a 6 min drive.

Comfortable and Affordable RV park!

Excuse my picture with the bug covered window. Wanted to show how the park is located very close to the mountains. Only a two minute drive to Apex park with tons of trails for biking and hiking. It was across the street from a biker bar that was a little louder than I would like but did not interfere with sleep. The street noise got to be a little bit loud. Had all the necessary amenities and hook ups that we were looking for and was a great location. 

Convenient Option

If you’re looking for a solid RV park near Golden that’s clean and dog friendly, this place is for you. Staff were very polite and helpful. This is a great base camp for exploring Denver as well as Jefferson and Clear Creek counties.

• Close By: 20 minutes to Denver, 10 minutes to Red Rocks, 8 minutes to the Coors Brewery, 25 minutes to Idaho Springs
• Cell Service: 3 bars of 5Ge on AT&amp;T. My personal hotspot worked great here.
• Laundry: Washers are $2.50/load, Dryers are $2.00/load. Change machine available.
• WiFi: Slow, but strong signal and definitely usable for light web browsing. Google speed test showed 2Mbps down, 0.40Mbps up.
• Area: The park is right next to a major interchange where CR-6, I-70, 470, and US-40 all intersect. Expect some road noise as well as the sound of motorcycles from the bar across the street.


Clean, Comfortable, and Close To Everything!

Its exactly what you get for the price tier. Lil gem right off main roads. 3 Day stay seems to be just right.

Nothing fancy good value.

Pros:
Next to a park on top of ridge. Easy hike to Stegosaurus Ridge. 
Full hook ups
Friendly staff
Garbage pick up and dumpsters 
Quick to repair electric pedestal 
Cons:
Across the street from very loud biker bar that play very loud live music starting on Thursday and plays until Saturday.  While they mostly stop playing by 10, sometimes the bands play until 10:30
Sites are very close together 
There is not enough parking 
During rain or melting snow the place is very muddy 
 Expensive  
Stayed from March to first part of June

Very Noisy Park

Easy to find right off the main drag, so that's a plus. Must be an experienced driver to navigate the tight lots and roads. Smaller sites and not much grass for dogs. Super disappointing the pool was closed in the middle of July. Biker bar and nose didn't affect us. Might consider staying again. No issues with neighbors. 

Had higher hopes... 

We stayed here so we could visit friends in Denver. It was actually a pretty quiet park except when biker bar played. However, they typically knocked off around 10ish, so it didn't really bother us. We were there 3 weeks and maybe 1-2 nights were noisier. I expect if you're parked directly across from the bar you'd hear it more. Across the street there was a Tin Cup convenience market with Amazon Locker. The laundry room was super nice with 6 washers, 8 dryers, folding tables, sink, wheeled baskets, change machine, and soap dispenser machine. Very clean, too. Nice gift and sundries shop by office. Decent parking space, almost level. Good picnic table, had shade tree, and cute bunnies all over the place. Walked the back hill a couple times. It was cooler weather so we didn't see or hear any snakes. The nonrefundable aspect of booking is probably my least favorite part of the park, yet I'd stay there again. Golden is nice area too, and close to some good parks. We took Lyft to Denver, ok price going there but expensive returning to park. The light rail station was nearby, at government center, and that could be good option depending on where you go in city. 

Good park close to Denver

My first trip in my 5th wheel, heading to the southwest to visit family. This was a great pick for my Denver stopover. Clean and well run, I’ll be making this a regular stop. A little bit noisy by the road but you’re nice and close to the shops and activities. Close to Red Rocks and Golden  

New to rving 

We are at Dakota Ridge RV Resort in Golden, Colorado, Site# M22. It is terrible and we are grateful that we are only here for 2 nights. Pictures below represent the state of our site- weeds are knee high; there is a sharp dropoff at the end of the site, which overlooks an industrial parking lot. Our door leads right out to the neighbor's connections, including sewer. Our picnic table sits next to those too. Can't put out the awning because of trees overhanging our site. It's Memorial Day weekend and the pool is closed. The showers and laundry room building closes at 5 pm. Plus it's overpriced! Will never be back.

Worst ever! Tight spaces. Tall weeds. Close to neighbor's sewer.

Fun stay, but very tight spots.  Unfortunately, it was in the 90s and the pool was closed.  So, that was a bummer.  There was some great hiking and places for the dogs just up the hill.  All in all, it was a good stay and I would have given it four stars if the pool worked.

Okay Place

We stayed here for a week and weren’t very impressed by any means. The front of the park faces a very loud biker bar across the street and the backside which we stayed on butts up to some shop with loud tools/machines a good portion of the day so not a very quiet place anywhere you stay. There are a laundry list of rules and things you can’t do which is always off putting for a campground. There are not many trees so there’s barely any shade so if it’s hot outside there’s really no escape from it. It has laundry but it was the most expensive we’ve seen so far at $3 per wash and $2.50 per dryer load. And they only allow propane fires, not even charcoal grills so for someone who loves a good campfire and to grill on my charcoal grill that was a major negative mark.

We work remotely so good wi-fi is always a bonus but unfortunately this wi-fi was barely usable, even for just using your phone, which is not unusual for a campground but still worth noting. Luckily our Verizon service consistently had 3-4 bars of 5G so we were able to use our jet pack for any internet needs. 

The positive things that took it from a 2 star to a 3 star is that the sites are a pretty good size, it’s close to a lot of stores, restaurants, etc, it has a small pool and hot tub (hot tub was out of order while we stayed here), and it has a cool hill you can climb and see views of Denver. We stayed in site M29 which as I mentioned was sort of in the back and was spacious enough for what we needed. The sites are also all concrete so leveling was very easy. Oh, and it had a lot of cute rabbits running around!

Overall it wasn’t the worst place we’ve ever stayed by any means but we would likely not stay here again unless we were just passing through for a night or two and/or if nothing else in the area was available. 

Good for a quick stop off, nothing more

Very nice place and maintained well. Super clean. Spaces are pretty tight and maneuvering takes attention. 

Dakota Ridge RV Resort 

Love this rv park I'm doing an edged stay they are really great. Super busy though for sure so make sure reservations are in. A little pricey but I feel it's worth it with the amenities and staff knowledge and helpfulness also super clean and family/pet friendly

Great spot/location but very busy

This park is kind of pricey even in the winter (we stayed Nov22-Jan23) but it’s Colorado and it’s all pretty pricey. Park staff is super friendly and accommodating. Propane on site makes winter stays easier. The dogs love the trails connected to the park. Very close to the highways for quick escapes to the mountains or heading into Denver, but not too much road noise. Shopping close by and DT Golden is 5 mins away and amazingly unique. We would stay here again.
