    Escape the hustle and bustle of the city! Located at an elevation of 6476 feet above sea level, on an 80-acre horse ranch in the heart of Elizabeth Colorado, home to the PCRA Rodeo the Elizabeth Stampede (since 1966). This magical getaway was built by hand over 4 years, with love, sweat, and tears... and with help from some special friends. Treehouse Magic was built around PAL, a towering Ponderosa Pine Tree, that is allowed the room to grow and sway gently in the breeze. This wonderful space is magical in every way! .300 sq. feet with an 1100 sq. foot deck...

    When you first arrive at Treehouse Magic you will pull underneath the deck which also serves as a carport! Enjoy the game room with a ping pong table, darts and Giant Jenga, before you make your way up to the treehouse!

    Remember to "Mind Your Noodle" when walking up the stairs!.. Welcome to the outdoor deck spaces. On the East side, enjoy a propane fire pit with 4-rocking chairs, and an outdoor kitchen with a pellet grill and smoker. On the West side a table with 3 point umbrella, a hanging hammock and the Cabana Room!! The Cabana room is an outdoor/indoor space with lounge chairs, a couch, CordaRoy bean bag (that opens into a bed topper for the couch), rolling table, pop-up tent, cots, a movie screen and a smart Roku projector to stream movies! Upon entering the treehouse you will be transported to another world! Stand at the door for a moment...look at the green green grass and look up and see the treehouse within the treehouse! Magical Gnomes jump in and out of (handpainted worlds) and watch over the treehouse and its guests, spreading their magical love wherever they go!! The main section of the treehouse has the gathering room (with a smart Roku TV and PS4 game station. The couch can pull out to create another sleeping space. The kitchen has a 2-burner propane stove and small refrigerator and everything you may need for cooking a meal. Complimentary coffee is provided by Dancing Jaguar Coffee. 4-generation coffee farmers in Honduras, who package and label it right here in Elizabeth! It is truly amazing!! The bathroom is truly a place of wonder... the whole off-grid system has many scratching their head with a big smile on their face... "ah-ha", shower in the horse trough with a rain faucet and take some time to "ponder" while using the composting toilet and squatty potty! Up the steep staircase, you will land at the drawing-room, where you can write a letter or color in the many activity and drawing books. Take notice of the "mouse house" at your feet and the many worker ants that were vital to our success! Through the barn door, into the private sleeping quarters. A 14" gel foam, full mattress will ensure a wonderful rest. There is also a couch that opens to another full bed. Across the drive to the East enjoy the outdoor horseshoes and corn hole area and tire swing, as well as another eating and relaxing space. If you are bringing your 4-legged best friend/family member, there is a 3/4 acre fenced-in yard. You can allow them to run off-leash in your company. Also, 2 more hammocks and a table and chairs. If you prefer to cook with good ole charcoal, there is a grill and charcoal available. Enjoy a hot tea, coffee or hot chocolate at the Relax Shack at the top of the South 40 acres, with views of the mountains and the roaming Horses, Llamas, and Alpacas...A MUST EXPERIENCE! **Running water unavailable Dec-April. H20 provided for drinking and hygiene, there IS A COMPOST TOILET**

    Denver West-Central City KOA

    Nicest KOA we've been to

    And in fact I believe they were KOA of the year 2023 or 2024. More expensive than we're used to, but has nice amenities. Sites level with concrete pads, fairly large. Some space between with trees. Nice metal patio furniture provided at each site(chairs, table, fire pit). Has decent showers, hot tubs, and off leash dog park. Inexpensive pancake breakfast and pizza/wings to your site are available, also an onsite store. Kind of at the top of a rise, so good views but also kind of chilly for July (60s/40s). Massive thunderstorms with hail and heavy rain two evengings (CO mountains tend to get afternoon t-storms). Communicate via text to let you know about goings on. Good radio station out of Idaho Springs KYGT 102.7 and 103.9

    Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon

    Way too expensive

    I spent the night at Base Camp because the campgrounds North and South of Ned were full and it was dark and getting late. You have to be lucky with those ones to get one of the few good spots that are there. I have been to the convenience store at BC before and it was closer to Idaho Springs (I was going there the next day to meet a friend). $39 per night for a tent site is INSANE. I could have stealth camped and there was another spot I could’ve gone too but BC was close and I was tired. I guess that’s how they make their business. Begrudgingly it worked for what I needed.

    Not a lot of options on I 70 east of Denver for overnight parking so opted for a KOA last minute. Easy last minute check in process. Served great for a quick in and out.

    Nice but pricey

    Overall Nice site. Stayed one night. Too pricey for a stopover. Propane fire pit looks nice but could not use. Must have a 20 pound tank. Store was closed as we arrived at 5 pm.
    Train and traffic noise as expected for location. Lot of stuff for kids. Nice facilities. Clean park.

    Would be a ZERO if possible

    just now New Don't give this owner any business. Former homeowners of the mobile home park offered 20.5 million in 2019. The greedy owner Sean L. rejected the offer because he was dealing with the former mayor and counsel to have the area rezoned so he could make more. Hundred or residents were displaced! Karma is a bitch for this greedy owner and the politicians who went along with him. SHAME. Their was a documentary documentary made about the subject of mobile home parks being bought up and raising rents at will. The film is called A Decent Home.

    Perfect overnight stop

    We called in the early evening, booked over the phone, & had a map with directions to our site waiting for us. The site was easily accessible & the restrooms were clean & well stocked. It’s close to the interstate, but just fine for one night.

    Great Beginner Friendly Backpacking Option

    This was my first backpacking experience and I couldn't recommend it more for first timers. There is a designated pad for your tent, a bear locker and even an outhouse all nearby. My wife and I stayed at site K and it was beautiful.

    Lovely Staff, Nice place to recouo

    I ended up here on accident but loved my stay. Every staff member was so helpful and nice. Sites are close together and it is a bit pricy for an RV ($92 per night). This was my first time at a KOA, I enjoyed having all of the services right there. They fill propane tanls, air for tires, nice hot shower, laundry and a hot tub.

    This place used to be awesome. The new owners are greedy and can't "run" the campground. It's dirty, stuff is broke, keys for cabins are always missing, and prices are going through the roof for what it is.

    Very Comfortable - Lacked WOW

    This is a very nice, quiet and quaint camping spot! We loved the wooded areas. The flat parking pads and hook ups! There’s nothing extra special here to make it a 5 star. I’d absolutely visit again!!…. But it’s not a bucket list spot!

    The coolest thing is we did see a moose!

    Choose your loop carefully

    We were going to give this a 3 star review based on our first night here in D loop. No water, sites close together and a long walk to the vault toilets, plus the site was not level. Our second night was in E loop. Sites are over 100 feet apart, level, flush heads, near free showers, and water available plus dish washing area, but no tent pads. Loops are either RV or tent. Tent loops also have sites too close for our taste, about 37 feet apart. Though if you choose carefully, a few sites are more remote. Some of the tent loops let you park adjacent to your site (loops H and I). Others you park in a common area and walk to your site. Volunteer staff very friendly. In season camp programs. Much jet noise from airliners leaving Denver. Some road noise also, but very quiet at night. Your experience will vary with your chosen loop and site. Overall nice, much more so in E loop and B loop looks similar. For tenting, I’d suggest H or I loop. Good T-Mobile.

    Close place to do a getaway

    I came up for a night of camping with one of my dogs. I reserved the area with electric hookup since I brought the van. The area was very organized and tidy. Campsite was large with a picnic table, fire pit, and central spot for trash and recycling. Area was quiet, but close to a road. No cell service for phone if you’re wondering.

    Love RV Resorts like this

    We’re a one night in each location maybe 2 as we tour the US in 4-6week chunks. So places like this we can pull up to after a 6-10 hour drive day and the kids can do a water park, we can grab dinner and drinks, arcade, activities etc. it’s awesome. Super friendly neighbors. Great sites. Clean, big nicely landscaped. Love the propane fire pits. We had excellent proximity to both pools, store and arcade. We leave EARLY so good to be by the exit.

    Indian Paintbrush Campground—Bear Creek Lake Park

    The perfect spot to camp to enjoy Red Rocks

    This was our first time staying at Bear Creek Lake. The park is not part of the Colorado Wilds or CPW State Park system, but daily vehicle fees are included with your camping reservation. Our towed vehicle was included when we checked in at the ranger station.

    The campground is at the back of the park, roughly 2 miles from the entrance. There is a lot of bike traffic and windy roads. Sites are mostly level, electric only, and relatively close together. We stayed in Site 41 which was walking distance to the pit toilets and water spigot. We had no trouble fitting our 29' Class C, tow dolly, and towed vehicle. 

    We filled our 7 gallon water jugs at the spigot to top off our fresh water tank. The spigot is the terrible skinny faucet that is not threaded as to dissuade RVers from connecting a fill hose to it. If you want to fill water jugs like we did, bring a short (<6') hose and a water bandit so that you don't waste water.

    Pit toilets and flush bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The bath house at the center of the campground features coin operated hot showers, $2 for 10 minutes. The water temperature was very hot, but manageable. A great convenience since there are no sewer hookups at the sites.

    This is a great place to camp if you want to explore Morrison, Golden, or catch a show at Red Rocks. The main park entrance closes at 9:30 and a back gate accessible from I-470 opens that allows access to the campground. We had no trouble getting an Uber to pick us up to go to Red Rocks, but had several driver cancellations trying to get back after a concert.

    Beware of the foxtails

    Pros:

    - great location for exploring Denver

    - beautiful sunset 

    Cons:

    - SO MANY FOXTAILS which can be deadly to dogs, and my site was covered in them. They're also everywhere throughout the campground. So if you have dogs I would not use this more than a stopover to recharge.

    - Highway noise was very loud if outside rig 

    Cell: you're in the middle of a city, both AT&T and Verizon worked just fine

    Lotsa trees and shade

    This has become one of our favorite places to camp. Very quiet. Evenings are cool. Plan on making a fire. There are lots of trees if you like shade. Stay away from the A loop – it is small and tricky to back in. Panorama point is a must see.

    Beautiful at 9,000 feet

    Stunning campground nestled right outside Golden and Boulder Colorado. We couldn’t believe it…so close but you feel incredibly removed once you get there. Campsites are close together but there is plenty of shade and coverage between sites. Great amenities: hot showers, laundry, firewood for sale, well marked trails. Our loop did NOT have water be aware and look at your maps before booking. Some loops have water and some do not. We did have electric though. Overall had a blast.

    Beware Overpriced!

    $28 for day use! Ridiculous! Just my son & I & 1 vehicle. We just wanted to visit the lake & hike. The hiking trail was lame for the price although the waterfall was lovely. Nice for fishing and camping, just not worth it for hiking for a few hours & nowhere on the website is the price for day use. Also, the 2 men in the office complained that they were shorthanded & didn’t provide a map, we found one outside on the wall. Never coming back. :(

    Rocky Mtn High

    Your up at 8890’ at this KOA. Wind your way up a nice but steep four lane road to this campground! We stayed in a big rig stop. Concrete slab, full hook ups. Was below freezing at night so we didn’t leave the water connected at night but the days were a pleasant 60-65 but the wind did come up several days and it was chilly. Very nice new composite patio furniture and fire pit and gas grill to use! The areas in between spaces have large enough rocks to cause some tripping issues while hooking up. Watch your step.

    Nice bathrooms two large hot tubs and 6 washing machines and dryers @ $2 a load for each.

    Nice staff and gift shop with beer and liquor and most needs. They had just opened for the season and have pizza available but we didn’t try it!

    If you like to gamble there are a plethora of casino s just a few miles down the valley in Central City.

    West side Denver approx 25 miles on I-70
