Best Glamping near Blue River, CO

Peak One Campground in Frisco houses upscale glamping accommodations with stunning mountain views right alongside Lake Dillon. The property combines wilderness immersion with refined comfort through their safari-style tents and spacious yurts, each equipped with proper beds, electricity, and heating options. All glamping units include dedicated fire pits and picnic tables while providing easy water access. One visitor noted, "This campground is located in the town of Frisco, CO, but feels like being in the wilderness. Shopping and restaurants are 10 minutes from the Campground." Selkirk Campground adds to Blue River region glamping options with their luxury canvas accommodations nestled among mature shade trees. Both locations maintain clean facilities and feature flushing toilets with running water, a rarity for mountain glamping sites.

The region's glamping experiences benefit from strategic positioning along bike paths that connect to nearby towns. Many glamping sites offer direct lake access, perfect for paddleboarding and kayaking without hauling equipment long distances. According to a camper, "We enjoyed the sunsets sitting at the beach of the lake - highly recommended!" Beyond water activities, glamping guests enjoy immediate access to extensive mountain biking trails, including those at the Frisco Adventure Park located at the entrance to Peak One. Hiking options abound with nearby trails like Lily Pad Lake. Reservations are strongly recommended during peak season (May through September), though some locations offer limited first-come availability. Most glamping sites in this area close during winter months due to mountain weather conditions, with some reopening as early as mid-May.

Castle Mountain Recreation Area at Wellington Lake
Private but Crowded
Beautiful lakeside camping just outside of Denver. Campsites are a bit close together, but great for groups! No hookups here but you have bathroom facilities and a visitor center where you can buy firewood. Campfires allowed in the fire pits. If you have an RV beware quiet hours from 10pm to 8am, no generators allowed. Lake is perfect for paddleboarding, kayaking and fishing and you will most likely have phone service if you are with AT&T or Verizon. Many day use areas, however vehicles and individuals are charged. For campers, if you bring more than one vehicle you will be charged daily for any additional ones. No drinking water is available, you must bring your own. Dirt roads to the lake are rough and narrow. Close to Deckers for incidentals. Intersects with the Colorado trail for hiking and biking and close to the Colorado River for tubing!

Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon
Breathtaken, I remember it all too well 🫶🏼
Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon is everything you expect it to be and more from the overview! Nestled right in beautiful Colorado, even!& I love camping! Okay, I admit, I love‘camping’ in parks where there are cabins with beds and air! So of course, we stayed in a climate controlled cabin! Reminded me of KOA Campgrounds and similar price except this park is in COLORADO with amazing views and KOA’s are just barely outside of boring iowa/SD cities(the ones we stayed in) the scenic walks were worth it themselves!

But they have all sites, not just cabins, of course.(: I have 3 children and not one of them wanted to leave!!!(Made my sanity go a bit crazy, but says a lot when children stay somewhere for vacation and aren’t complaining and becoming bored before the end!) When we didn’t understand something they jumped to explain without being annoyed or irritated. They really hooked us up there! A little note: in my experience, and I’m sure everyone there is great, but Dillon, especially, took so much time to answer our questions show us around and ensure we had a quality time! He was so kind and has that approachable personality of someone who loves to help others and ensure you have the best possible time!! 10/10 would stop again!

Echo Lake Campground
Small but quaint campground
It’s a small campground at the entrance to Mount Evans. Some of the sites are very close proximity, while others are pretty spread out. The camp host Rick was awesome! If your looking to party it up all night, this is not the place for you. Rick follows the quiet hours to a T! I would recommend this place for a night or 2. Also recommend the drive up to Mount Evans, spectacular views! There is a store/restaurant across the street from the campground, but it’s mostly touristy things, no camping supplies.

Mountain High
Yes Mountain High!! 8100’ high. 7 miles off I-70 at Idaho Springs. 25 miles into outskirts of Denver. Don’t worry they have oxygen! Not kidding!!

Nice campground, friend staff, laundry, fun little gift shop with some food stuffs, beer and liquor. Pizza cooked there but we didn’t try it.

Our space was a big rig space on concrete pad with ample seating, a table, a fire pit, and a propane grill stove… use you own propane! Full hook ups. It was still reaching freezing at night and so we didn’t hook up our water.

Arapaho Valley Ranch
We love Arapaho Valley Ranch!
There are community fire pits, stocked trout pond, access to the river, acres of woodland, and Colorado’s smallest bar! We love the vibe at AVR and the owners are amazing. Occassionally you can catch live music and there are several historic buildings they are restoring. We have a few friends that don’t camp which is okay because they also offering glamping, tipis, cabins, and a lodge. Trust me... one stay and you’ll be booking another one soon after!

Great RV Park
This place has everything! Bowling, an amazing pool and hot tubs, super clean facilities, full hookups, rent an airstream or chuckwagon for the weekend, stay in a tiny home - really, there’s so much to do especially for families. Our site (308) had an outdoor kitchen area, nice firepit and chairs, and outdoor table and chairs.

Platte River Campground
Small and cozy enough, your perfect fishing spot
I'll agree with the other posters. Platte River Campground is a great location if you are looking to do some fly fishing. The river is right there and easy access. Or if you want to set up camp here and then drive up/down the road there are tons of fishing spots.

Keep in mind there isn't a store or anything close by so be sure to carry in all you need. I don't recall water on site so better to be safe and carry plenty in.

I went in mid Oct so off season and there was only 2 other campers in the campground. I chose site #8, furthest away from the parking area but also more trees. There was a bit of road noise but not horrible. Was quiet and just a cozy place to stay.

A great site to check out what this campground looks like and how it's laid out is you can check out this video I found useful on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc9JPE53Lf4
