"Staff are friendly. Golf cart escorts to your site. Sites are flat but a bit cramped. The laundry, bathroom and showers were clean with nice hot water."
"Highway noise is inevitable. Friendly staff, clean bathrooms/showers. The women's bathroom has very chic mirrors! They have some covered wagons you can rent for the night that looked fun."
"Arapahoe Group Loop has a great pavillion with outdoor kitchen and bathroom. Overall Camper amenities are great and very clean. Many well shaded individual sites are available."
"Very pretty campground with tidy tent spots and on-site bathrooms, showers for rent, and laundry. Very easy to access even from the RTD bus stop."
"The on-site host is a hoot! Loved her personality & energy! Super welcoming! The tent sites are sand and fine for a basic overnight on a long trip."
"Very standard KOA Park and it’s a great location for travelers along I-70. We stopped here because we encountered a nasty spring storm and knew we couldn’t stay ahead of it."
$45 - $65 / night

GuideGreat campground here at this state park. We have always stayed in the Arapahoe Group Loop for holiday weekends. Arapahoe Group Loop has a great pavillion with outdoor kitchen and bathroom. Overall Camper amenities are great and very clean. Many well shaded individual sites are available. Campsites are far from other park amenities like Dog Park, Shooting Range, Marina. Swim beach is a 10 minute walk-able distance from campground. Recommend driving to get around the park.
GuideStayed one night to wait out weather in the mountains west. Staff are friendly. Golf cart escorts to your site. Sites are flat but a bit cramped. The laundry, bathroom and showers were clean with nice hot water. The have pizza delivery to your site-- which on a day that was 36 degrees with icy rain, was a welcome treat! The town has a basic commercial street with a gas station, liquor store, and coffee shop. There's a bar and grill across from the campground also. I wouldn't call it a destination, but more than served its purpose for the night.
LegendMy family and I stayed here for one night in a 34' travel trailer as a reward from crossing Kansas. :) We knew what we were getting into - a tight family campground, so we weren't disappointed in that regard. It's actually a little hard to write this review because there's such a mix of pros and cons. I think listing them out will be the best strategy.
Cons:
- VERY close to the interstate. Take a look at a satellite map view so you will come prepared. The road noise is ever present, and if you can tune it out you will be a much happier camper. We were able to sleep ok with it, but it was a constant in our experience.
- Proximity to your neighbor. This is the way it is with KOAs, but it did feel strange hooking up utilities within arm's reach of your neighbors having dinner.
- Wifi. They advertise it, but it was so slow that not once was I able to successfully load a single webpage. Verizon is also not strong here.
- Cable. They had hook-ups but quality was too poor to watch.
- The hot tub was closed with no indication when it will open.
Pros:
-The playground was pretty awesome, large and with multiple things to climb on for kiddies.
- They had a pool and kiddie pool. Both are small, though.
- The game room is really nice! (see pics)
- Pizza and ice cream on site.
- Affordable laundry. $2.50 for wash and 50 cents for 8 minutes for the dryer.
- Clean and tastefully decorated bathrooms and showers.
Other:
- Pancake and sausage breakfast on the weekends for $6.50.
- A BBQ restaurant run by the campground.
- 40 minutes to Denver.
- Dog park.
Overall, not a bad experience, just not spectacular.
ScoutQuick 1 night stay, clean bathrooms, LOTS of pavement. Quiet hours start WAAAAY too early for an early fall Friday night.
ScoutVery pretty campground with tidy tent spots and on-site bathrooms, showers for rent, and laundry. Very easy to access even from the RTD bus stop.
Only two complaints, I.) there is no walking access into the park so if you’re walking/biking in you’ll be hugging the side of a road and II.) there is significant car noise from the highway at the camp sites.
GuideThis CG is very well maintained... It is a state park and like others has great maintained camp grounds with full hookups, dump site, and many recreational activities. It is in the center of the city, but aside from the traffic on the dam in the distance you would not realize it. Sites are clean, level, have fire-pits and picnic tables... you can choose loops with hookups or without... Most sites do not offer a lot of shade, but some have a few trees. The reservoir is the main activity draw (beach, boating, fishing) but there are plenty of trails also in the park to bike/walk. Because of its proximity to Denver Metro it is very busy in the Summer season.
GuideThe facilities at this state park are really nice. Relatively level and paved spots, big rig friendly, full hookups at sites, and laundry and wifi on site but it's not the prettiest or most secluded campground. There's a lake and lots of trails for biking or hiking and I think it popular getaway for locals. We did see lots of deer and a great horned owl which was cool. You can definitely hear the highway and are close to any amenity you could need. About a 35 minute drive from downtown to explore. It's a bit expensive with a daily fee on top of camping fees. We were happy to snag a spot as it's one of the closest and nicest options to explore Denver in an RV but wasn't wowed.
TravelerThe staff is friendly, the bathrooms are clean, and there’s a restaurant across the street and a pizza place on site. However, the location is a disaster. Literally right next to highway I-70, there’s no way you’ll get a restful nights sleep. Maybe in a RV or renting a cabin you’ll have better luck, but as a tent camper it was brutal.
TravelerProbably best for an overnight stay en route to a destination. Right off of I70, so there is constant highway noise. Train heard faintly in the distance, but not bad. Under the flight paths for Denver airport, so the occasional overhead plan noise. Sites are cramped but clean. Stayed in site 81, which was a bit uneven sloping down to the front of the pull through site. Connections are a little far for some RV models, so make sure you have extensions for cords and hoses just in case. The campground advertises a lot of conveniences like pizza orders delivered to your site. Did not use any of those services during the 2 night stay. Local saloon across the frontage road from the park entrance if you are up for soaking in some of the local color. About 30 miles from Aurora and the outskirts of Denver.
AT&T signal is OK. Verizon is better.
