"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."
$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☀️"
$36 - $41 / night
"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."
"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."
$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."
$32 - $80 / night
"Had a great spot right next to the Clear Creek walking path. The campground is clean and well looked after. Clean bathrooms and showers. Close to many hikes and mt trails."
"**Campground Review: **
Golden, CO is a super cute town on the outskirts of Denver. The city has a campground in a prime location, and we were lucky to book a site!"
"It was nice to be tucked away in the corner with no groups behind us or next to us. There were other campers near by but it felt pretty private. The weather was great."
"The Gross Resevoir outside Boulder is a great place for people to go for some recreation just outside the city. People commonly drop in a paddleboard or kayak."
"So the Gordon Gulch dispersed camping area has around 15 numbered sites that are ok... but if you keep driving further down 233.1 you will find many more unnumbered campsites."
"Getting here is easy, only a few miles away from Nederland and I had cell service (verizon) the entire time."
$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."
$28 - $90 / night
"This spot is just a quick ride outside of Golden. The scenery is gorgeous with several trails to hike or mountain bike. The campsites are clean and easy to get to."
"Stunning campground nestled right outside Golden and Boulder Colorado. We couldn’t believe it…so close but you feel incredibly removed once you get there."
ScoutCamp sites are nice, but except for a few (~5) the rest require a serious climb (drive) up a gnarly hill with deep ruts.
I wouldn't try this with a camper/RV, or anything that doesn't have high clearance and power.
ScoutHaven’t been out camping in a while,
Should have 4x4 but we made it without.
One vehicle had a 20’ cargo trailer. (Required 4x4)
10 minutes from Estes Park, lots of local places to go. The camp ground down below will even let you shower for 8$.
Sweet!
GuideLike most of the national parks where we’ve been able to snag a campground. This one was fabulous. You have beautiful views of longs peak, and multiple other lower peaks as well as nearby glaciers. It’s on Bear Lake Rd., which is a covered place to have a reservation to drive. It’s right across the street from the shuttle if you wanna take that all the way up to Bear Lake to do some nice hiking. It’s a little less than a mile away to Sprague Lake and there is a connecting trail as well. The Rangers and camp hosts were friendly and informative. There are many sites that are open where a Starlink would work well and there are several other sites where there are many trees. There’s also a beautiful group camp area if that is your need.
TravelerThe good:
The bad
We had almost full bars thanks to the proximity to WP. Probably won’t come here again due to the highway noise, but it is a very nice place to camp.. especially if you are a mountain biker!
ScoutWe arrived on Thursday 8/7/2025 at 7am looking for a spot, it was pretty well filled up but we found site #13 open so we jumped on it. After setting up we walked the grounds as site #13 goes pretty far back and down the mountian and is beautiful, here's why I gave it two stars. 30-40 yards behind our fire ring there were 5 piles of human crap with TP smushed on them and with the wind alot of used TP was scattered across the site, so I had to put on disposable gloves and walk the ground and pick other human beings used TP.
GuideWish we could say more. Staff is friendly and location is good for both the mountains and the metro area. Colfax Road is extremely busy & unfortunately loud. The property has seen better days. The laundry facility is reasonably priced but 2 of the 6 washers & 3 of the 8 dryers are not working. Sites are not necessarily level & certainly aren’t spacious. Grass is pretty sad or nonexistent except right at the office. Overall just seems pricey.
ScoutDrove for hours looking for a spot. Insanely crowded.
GuideWent on Friday 8/15/25 Plenty of spots along Steuart Rd. Leading to Loch Lommond, as well as plenty of sites around the lake.
Really nice loop trail around the lake, not too difficult. Also a direct trail to James Peak which sits a little above 13,200ft. Not a super technical trail, but it is straight uphill for about 3.5mi. Amazing views of Winter Park and the surrounding ranges at the top.
We did get rained/sleeted on twice during the journey up and down, so I recommend bringing weatherproof gear and layers.
Drive in was super cool. 4wd not necessary at all. All you need is clearance and decent tires.
TravelerThe coordinates are a bit early on 4. Roads are easy to navigate. Continue up the road for multiple flat locations. Some of the roads were closed but 4 is open.
