"Very convenient campground with great access to North Denver/Boulder area. Only downside is proximity to I-25 and traffic noise. But there are many nice trails and lakes to fish from."
"It is near I-25 highway so there is road traffic noise but becomes background noise after a day or so. But if that bothers you you won’t like it."
$28 - $432 / night
"I only gave it 4 stars because on the outskirts of the state park we have a lot of homeless camps popping up oblong Parker road and 225."
"It is in the center of the city, but aside from the traffic on the dam in the distance you would not realize it. "
$36 - $200 / night
"Chatfield State Park is a great mixture of access to the outdoors with availability of many of the benefits of a metro area close by."
"This is the first time I’ve found a state park so close to a major metro area!!
Because of its proximity to Denver, Chatfield fills up quickly, so book well in advance."
$35 - $55 / night
"Take a friend and a picnic for a lovely day on this beautiful lake right here in Arvada. Your worries fall away and you can experience the joy in nature around you. Maybe weird but true!"
"5 stars because of the lake, Mountain Views, and it not being far from town. Rent a floatation device or bring your own and enjoy the warmth on the lake☀️"
$10 - $35 / night
"Arrived in Colorado little after midnight, got a spot right away plenty of availability and close enough to some good hiking areas"
"We couldn’t find anything near family in Highlands Ranch in July, but ran across this place- Tight spots for our 38 ft fifth wheel but, we made it."
"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."
"Good site if you want to be close to Denver but still have a short drive to the foothills."
$18 / night
"area was plowed open to exactly the width of our trailer, so with more than three feet of snow on the ground we needed to get some exercise and do a bit of shoveling so we could back in and be able to walk"
"Late October is very unpredictable in Colorado for a camper who is primarily a tent camper."
"Lots of good food nearby."
"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."
"Note: If the GPS takes you to a dirt road with a closed gate at the end, get back on the highway and take the next exit to the park entrance."
ScoutAfter a day of worrying where we could stay thank goodness we came across clear creek getaway. We had an amazing time thanks to Rick’s hospitality! Our yellow A frame was the perfect little home with the most gorgeous view of the sunset. Conveniently located off the 70 it has bathrooms, board games, and a bbq! This was a magical stay of epic proportions and I would highly recommend it to any traveler’s.
ScoutWe’re getting ready to boondock for a bit. Instead of overnighting at a trick spot we snagged site 13 at about noon, same day. Great pricing with only about a $20 premium to dump/fill at Love’s and electric/water hookups with dump station included. Really pretty spot. We’d probably come back to stay longer! Weather was super pleasant and cool enough at night to have windows open on July 10th.
GuideWe stayed here overnight on a backpacking trip. Tons of small areas to camp a little ways off trail with plenty of water access.
ScoutIt’s a good spot to camp and had nice views but there are no fire signs posted on the way up and if you are planning on walking up i wouldn’t recommend this spot because the way up is very steep and it’s a challenge to get up this path on foot.
ScoutPortable dog pens are not allowed. Tethering is not allowed. We don’t like tethering and our rv is small so we travel with some wire folding dog fence so that our dogs can hop in and out of the rv when the weather is good. At this park they can only be on a 6 ft leash attached to a human. They have a dog “area” instead of a fenced dog park where they can play a little. The area for dogs is awful, I’ll include a picture.
GuideStopped here between Boulder and Vail for an overnight and there was only one spot left, and it was really worth it. Absolutely stunning views and even saw a deer spots are mostly level well maintained and right off the 70
GuideWe stayed here for a night in August. Very nice and well-maintained campground. The views of the surrounding peaks were great from our site!
ScoutQuiet, secluded, and peaceful on a Monday afternoon in July! Great views watching the sunset over the Rocky’s! Highly need a 4x4 to get here! Had a great time!
ScoutThe proximity to Denver is nice but I was surprised that the walk-in sites (29-35) were so close together. This section is probably only worth it if you can get site 34 or 35 which are the furthest back. Site 33 was not private at all and the tent pad was 10 feet from the walkway to 32, 34, and 35 so people were constantly walking by. This campground is also under a flight path so very loud planes flew overhead into the night. Definitely a convenient location and the campsites and toilets were well kept but there are better options within an hour of Denver.
