Best RV Parks & Resorts near Conifer, CO

The name has changed; there was an abrupt change of ownership recently.   The web page for Prospect RV Park will get you nothing, and the phone number is disconnected.

The new contact info is Applewood RV resort, 303-872-0091, web page https://rjourney.com/locations/co/wheat-ridge/applewood-rv-resort-llc

Seems from reviews to be nice; it's annoying that "Prospect RV Park" seems to have evaporated from the planet, and it took a lot of googling to find out about the name/ownership change.  It would be nice if the phone/web page had some forwarding.  (That's why just three stars; I may change that after we've stayed there.)

If you're going cross country and need a place to stop and take a break this is a great RV park. The pads are level concrete with either electric or full hook ups. Tons of fishing and trails. Verizon 4g LTE is very good.

Getting to the park from the interstate is quick (1 mile) and easy (all paved until the last 1000 ft.).

Now the bad. And the reason for 2 starts. I-25. The interstate is so close as I type this I can hear in my travel trailer every truck, motorcycle, and car. Going to have to use earplugs tonight to sleep. It's F##king insane the noise.

Well kept area to park with access to electricity. You are only allowed to stay 14 days in a calendar year, so not a long term place. We stayed in Nov so water and bathrooms were closed. But it’s a safe place to hook up to electricity so we enjoyed it. The parking area is connected to a park with sidewalks and ponds.

Saw this on the Longmont website Aug 2018

Camping

Camping is currently not available at Union Reservoir. In 2018, areas previously used for campsites were reconfigured to provide additional day use opportunities and additional parking during peak periods. In the future, design and construction of a modern campground with both tent and RV camping is planned. The campground is slated to have full hook ups, showers, flush toilets and a dump station. Learn more in the Union Reservoir & Trail Master Plan >

Called this park to inquire on a spot for long term and the rate was $1700 plus electric. For the size and condition of this park, that is outrageously overpriced.

We stopped in after an afternoon of driving. The sites were level and very clean, hookups were easy (nice threaded, tidy black/grey water) , lots of Aspen trees between the sites, but still a bit close together. It was a very quiet Monday evening towards the end of the season when we were there, so the spacing was okay. I can see that the sites would be very close together if the property was full.

It is really nice that they keep the long term sites on the other side of the building. The highway noise wasn’t bad.

Our nine year old really liked the playground area.

The bathrooms were very clean and recently remodeled, but require coins if you were going to shower.

We are at Dakota Ridge RV Resort in Golden, Colorado, Site# M22. It is terrible and we are grateful that we are only here for 2 nights. Pictures below represent the state of our site- weeds are knee high; there is a sharp dropoff at the end of the site, which overlooks an industrial parking lot. Our door leads right out to the neighbor's connections, including sewer. Our picnic table sits next to those too. Can't put out the awning because of trees overhanging our site. It's Memorial Day weekend and the pool is closed. The showers and laundry room building closes at 5 pm. Plus it's overpriced! Will never be back.

This campground has everything. Full hook up, shower, restrooms, a great playground and a fantastic river.

electrical hook-ups available (what i reserved)

i had a back in spot

campground vault style public restrooms

near the interstate but it’s also surrounded by ponds-very pretty

fishing and kayaking are available

Rocky Top is close to Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs, & Woodland Park. It has rv sites as well as a hotel and is located off I-24. Site #23 had full hookups and was a partially paved site, with a picnic table. Few trees are located within the rv park itself. Bathhouse was clean and required a code to get into them. There is also an attached laundry room that had 4 washers and 4 dryers (coin operated). Small playground located at the front of the park, but it looked like they were still working on it. Park provides free WiFi but it is iffy at times and cell signal is non existent for AT&T. Overall would camp here again.

Easy online reservation process, great location near Red Rocks, loved the spacious sites with full hook-ups, clean facilities, and friendly hosts.

Good location close to interstate to access all the cool towns and site seeing west of Denver. We stayed for softball tournament and we were very close to Lotz park and about 25 minutes from Westminister parks.

Spots were VERY CLOSE together so we didn’t like that at all. Definitely not the Colorado outdoorsy feel. A lot of long term folks there too. Neighborhood felt a little sketchy but we we didn’t have any issues.

Close to Prospect lake so a good place to walk dogs.

Facilities were very clean and well maintained.

Another great Colorado State Park, it sits above Eleven Mile Reservoir. The sites offer everything from tent sites to full hook up. There is limited shade, but most sites are exposed.

Theres beautiful hikes around the lake and the fishing is awesome between the reservoir and Spinny Lake, and 11 Mile Canyon below the dam.

Have to take off 1 star for the freeway noise and the lack of trees. However, the sites are nicely spaced, with many of them facing a few different ponds. The full hook-up sites are much more open than the electric only ones. Also, no showers on the full side, but what looks like a nice building on the electric side. It’s an hour to Estes Park, and it’s nice not to have to drag your rig up the mountain. Plus it’s close to Longmont where we found a couple cute breweries/cideries.

Campsite is on a first come basis which is nice since most places nearby are booked way in advance. Only $25 a day which includes full hook up. They have a dumpsite which is included in your fee. This is in the fairgrounds so a lot of events during the weekend. Stores, restaurants and movies all walking distance which is great.
