"All sites have great access and close to the ponds. Variety of fish in the ponds. They allow ice fishing as long as the ice is safe."
"Boyd Lake State Park is situated near the city of Fort Collins with distant views of the mountains. It has a large lake that is used by boaters, fishermen and sandcastle builders all summer."
"It’s not your run of the mill KOA by a highway. The lake is beautiful with a walking path all of the way around and paddle boats. The pool is nice. The miniature golf is pretty with mature trees."
"Lake, boats, water cannon boats, fishing, bikes, peewee golf, jumping thing. Walking path around lake."
$25 - $90 / night
"We have camped in Colorado for over 15 years. By far the campsites with the best views! And you can rent cabins too. Just love this place. Lake gets busy In the summer."
"The sites are picked up but not manicured by any means and there is road noise due to the proximity of the roads around the region."
$20 / night
"We needed a stop on the way out of Colorado and grabbed a quick night here in a tent site. Water was off for weather but stoves made much needed coffee in the cold."
"This is a KOA journey, meaning it’s great for a stopover, and it is located next to a horse farm. If you are used to smelling farm life, then the smell won’t be a problem."
"Plenty of shops and restaurants that are within walking distance. Only negative is that we were extremely close to our neighbors. We would stay here again."
"We only stayed one night while traveling through Colorado. It was convenient and easy. The grounds were nice and clean, very pretty, they had good amenities."
$35 / night
"Sites are fairly close together strung out along the lake edge. In September, lake level is purposefully lowered about 20 feet from summer levels."
"Vault toilets with electric lights and a shower facility at each location. Located close to marina/boat ramp."
$17 - $339 / night
"When you think Colorado you think endless mountains, but a good chunk of CO is prairie and grasslands."
"Even if all the official pitches are taken, it’s ok to camp anywhere around the picnic area or volleyball court. No facilities other than pit toilets."
"Campground is situated along the Big Thompson River. Big cottonwood trees. Easy accessibility for big rigs. Some items … water valves leak in lakes around entire park and many are leaking."
"Right next to the river. Close to some easy MTB trails. Would definitely stay here again."
$50 - $750 / night
"Evans was a huge change from being in the rockies, but its still near estes park and fort collins which have great offerings, and downtown greeley is good if you look around for some fun things to do!"

"Took the kids camping in Colorado for the first time and we had a blast. It rained on us a lot but it didn't stop us. Took a great hike up deer mountain....stunning views. Can't wait to go back."
"Very enjoyable spot, close access to trails and entrance and exit of the park."
ScoutLiterally the worst place I have ever stayed. Everything from the site (cramped, power pole support wire) to the staff were the worst I have encountered. Go anywhere else. Please.
TravelerWe stayed two nights in a tent camp site. We happened to arrive just as the camp hosts were making their rounds and talked to them, got recommendations for which site to pick (they were 100% spot on with their recommendation) and local trails.
The sites are all beautiful! Each site has a fire pit, picnic table, bear box, and tent pad. There's no water, so bring your own, but there are vault toilets.
--A NOTE ON FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVE SITES-- Because of its proximity to Wild Basin and Sandy Beach Lake, this is a popular campground. I recommend arriving for your first night during the week (we arrived on a Thursday and had our pick of sites).
When you arrive, you will flip the sign at your site from "open" to "reserved" to show that it has been taken. Once you've paid your camp fee they will clip a little receipt to the sign. This may make it look to some reviewers like the first-come-first-serve spots were actually reserved but they were not. Those reviewers may have just gotten there late on a popular weekend and all the people who got there first were served first. That's how it works.
GuideThis is a nice campground, the sites are not huge but they are adequate. Dowdy Lake is really scenic and the trout fishing was decent, I saw a lot of people catching at least one or two fish. The vault toilets are cleaned daily. I had 1-2 bars of LTE on T-Mobile. Elevation is just over 8,000 feet.
ScoutRoad is open for summer and it’s kinda rough getting up, but once your there, it’s a pretty nice view. Went up in a campervan and felt kinda scared but made it.
TravelerWe arrived at around 10pm on a Saturday night and were able to find a spot way back, but it did require AWD. The site was small, but secluded. There were some sharp weeds, so recommend wearing pants while walking around. Gorgeous views, and quick access to the park.
ScoutThere is a playground for the kids and tons of picnic tables. The sites are cleared and make it really easy for putting up a tent, and there are tables at each site. There’s bathrooms, too, which make it easy! There is a river that runs right behind it and it’s so pleasant to listen to and fun for the kids to play near. It was fast flowing though so we didn’t let them in.
ScoutNo need to look elsewhere - this is where you want to stay! But you better book well in advance. CLEAN shower houses. Friendly staff. Owners who pay attention to the details. This truly is Paradise by the river! Sites are close, but very quiet. I've never stayed at such a beautiful campground.
TravelerThe road to lost lake requires high clearance. It is located 30 min away from Red Feather Lakes. There are a lot of dispersed camp sites. Ours was set back from the road, in a meadow, surrounded by boulders. Loved it! The lake itself is small, but had enough space for many groups of people to enjoy. Folks were swimming, paddle boarding, and we enjoyed a Colorado version of a “Beach Day.” My fav spot to camp so far.
TravelerWe stayed three (3) nights at Glacier Basin during our week long visit to RMNP. We had a beautiful view from A-24 and was convenient to the restroom. Short walk to wood/ice house (on sale from 5-8pm). Much larger than Aspenglen and sites are pretty close together, but we enjoyed our neighbors! While large, close sites, and full the CG was overall quiet. ATT cell service was pretty good, Verizon okay. CG was clean and well maintained. One negative is that 4-6 sites had to share a bear box (Aspenglen has a bear box for each site. CG is on Bear Lake Road so no timed entry required (YAY!) and right across the street from the bus shuttle.
