Denver Meadows RV Park in Aurora offers basic cabin rentals with electric hookups, running water, and shared bathroom facilities. At Standley Lake Regional Park in Westminster, cabins provide picnic tables and access to toilets, though without water hookups inside units. Most cabins include beds with basic furniture, while kitchen facilities typically consist of a small refrigerator and microwave.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Denver East-Strasburg KOA offers traditional KOA-style cabins with more amenities than rustic counterparts, including electricity and heating for year-round use. Jellystone Park at Larkspur provides family-friendly cabin accommodations with picnic tables and reservable units.

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!

South Shore Campground at Carter Lake
Nice Spot
I stayed in spot S18 for 2 nights. Large gravel pull through spot (as were all of the sites on this loop), with a picnic table and fire pit. Some trees around this site providing shade on both sides, but this was not true of my friend’s site as S20. Also enough foliage between sites to give a feeling of privacy. Nice view of the lake and boat ramp. Electric hookups at site, water and vault toilets available.

Awesome Quiet Getaway
Best place to camp in Estes Park/Northern Colorado! Wooded sites mean privacy from your neighbors and shade during the day. Vault toilets are very clean, well kept. Staff and Rangers are very friendly and helpful, very knowledgeable about the area. Other reviews mention only 3.2 alcohol, but that rule has changed! ;) Great Hiking and Views, we watched the fireworks for 4th of July in Estes from one of the trails. Large bear boxes fit 2+ coolers. It was full for the holiday week/end, but staff mentioned that there's usually a lot of availability during the week. Have stayed in the cabins in years past, they are nice with gas fireplace for heat, and gas cookers in the cabin. No bedding, but beds are large and soft.
Gorgeous sunsets, so close to Estes and Rocky Mountain National Park. Hidden Gem in a busy tourist town!!

Good Campground for Social Distancing
Currently they don't have day-use open, so there's plenty of space at the lake to set-up and spend the day playing with the kids. We stayed in a mountain site (not lake-front) and the kids loved climbing the rocks and exploring the mountain. Really friendly staff. Quiet hours are not well kept and that would be my only complaint. No motors allowed on lake. Great for paddleboarding (rentals available), kayaking, canoeing & kid's floats.

Beautiful and serene
We stayed in the month of November of 2021. The road is okay to drive on, we took our car and tent camped. We didn’t take our camper as the switchbacks are very tight and the road is very steep.
We stayed a couple of nights and decided to move on because the park ranger gave us a visit about 3-4 times a day. We wanted to be left alone not make friends.
There is a little store at the bottom of the mountain and you can also fill up there. I wasn’t paying attention to see if there was a dump station.
There is a fee upon entry. You have to pay for the nights you plan to stay and you have to pay for your vehicle to have a permit to be there. I think we spent around $30 for 3 or 4 days. We left early so i’m sure that money went back to the park.
The park provides every spot with a table, fire ring and bear box. The bear box is for more than just food. If you have anything that smells good, the animals (not just bears) WILL try to get into your vehicle to steal it. Sprays, lotions, deodorants… etc.
We followed some animal trails and went on a few hikes. Seen a lot of animals, but seen no sign of fresh running water anywhere.
We were the only campers at this time of year in all 3 campgrounds. So it was very peaceful. The spaces are spread out. At the entrance to each campground there is a dumpster. So it’s not a long walk to dispose of your trash!
We will return to this area in the future. It’s a nice quaint spot with much to do.

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

Winter Camping Golden Gate Canyon State Park
We stayed at loop A of Reverend’s Ridge for 1 night on our way to California. We were the only ones in the campground and the views are gorgeous. Fire ring and picnic table at each site. The road to and in the campground was plowed. Pets allowed. Tons of beautiful hiking trails.
Things to keep in mind when visiting in the winter- water is not available, there are vault toilets near the pay area but not in campground itself. The GPS will tell you to take mountain base rd to the campground but it is closed for the winter. You need to take highway 46 to 119 to Gilpin road (see map).

Awesome!
Campground is very clean. Loop E (electric hookups) is very spacious and well laid out. Every campsite is a pull thru allowing you situate anywhere along the paved area to best suit your needs. Mostly level, fire rings, and very large metal picnic tables. Enormous amount of room.
Guide to Commerce City
Cabin camping near Commerce City, Colorado provides access to both mountain wilderness and urban amenities within a short drive. Located at an elevation around 5,000 feet, Commerce City experiences warm summer days that can cool significantly at night, even in July and August. Most cabins in this region remain accessible year-round, though winter visitors should prepare for potential snow between November and April.
What to do
Hiking trails: Golden Gate Canyon State Park offers extensive trail networks accessible from cabin locations. "Golden Gate Canyon SP is absolutely gorgeous!

Water activities: At Standley Lake Regional Park, cabin guests can enjoy paddle sports and fishing during summer months. A camper mentions, "I paddle with my friend and large smiles in the calm waters, heading toward Bird Island- you can hear the ruckus of Cormorants, Grebes, Heron, and others birds all marking their space." The lake also offers boat rentals for those without equipment.
Mountain biking: Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon provides direct access to mountain biking routes with various difficulty levels. "We ventured off on Saturday to go hike up the side of the mountain, but other that we didn't do too much besides sit around the campfire, grill some food, have a couple drinks and laughs," reports a visitor to Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon.
What campers like
Proximity to attractions: Indian Paintbrush Campground's location offers cabin campers convenience to nearby recreation. "Proximity to Red Rocks amphitheater, Bear Creek Lake, Big Soda Lake, and a genuine braying donkey were a huge plus," shares one camper at Indian Paintbrush Campground.
Wildlife viewing: Standley Lake Regional Park cabins provide opportunities for eagle watching. "I don't know how you could not like a place with a huge lake that bald eagles nest beside. With a rookery, this is the spot for bird enthusiasts!" comments a visitor to Standley Lake Regional Park.

What you should know
Varied levels of privacy: Cabin spacing differs significantly between locations. At Reverend's Ridge Campground, a guest observed, "Every campsite is a pull thru allowing you to situate anywhere along the paved area to best suit your needs. Mostly level, fire rings, and very large metal picnic tables. Enormous amount of room."
Temperature fluctuations: The elevation causes notable temperature drops after sunset. A visitor to Reverend's Ridge Campground recommends, "Dude's Fishing Hole is my dog's favorite place in the world. We love GGC especially the Forgotten Valley hike. Feed the fish at the ranger station." Pack appropriate layers for cool evenings.
Reservation requirements: Most cabins require advance booking, particularly during summer. "We showed up without reservations and there were many open sites but the only ones available without a reservation were in the middle of a field and shared a driveway with the site next door," cautions a camper about unplanned stays.
Tips for camping with families

The south area can handle large rigs," advises a visitor to Denver Meadows RV Park about the varying quality of cabin and RV sites.

Supply options: On-site stores carry essentials but at premium prices. "They have a nice little store and playground," mentions a visitor to Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon, though many recommend bringing supplies from Commerce City or nearby towns where prices are lower.
