Best RV Parks & Resorts near Deer Trail, CO

The 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.

Located in the city, but once you’re in the park you don’t feel like you’re in the city at all!!! The RV spots have full hookups and are nice and spacious, as are the neighbors. We were able to set up a tent too! Great place to stroll and relax. Beautiful sunsets. Clean bathrooms and laundry facilities with a little vending machine.

A great place for camping (RV and tent spots), fishing, wildlife/nature viewing, hiking, boating (all water activities), has a swim beach, marina, off leash dog park, shooting range, horse stables that you can do a beautiful hour horseback ride.

FEES: Campsites $41 full hookup, basic campsite $28, daily park pass is $11, annual park pass $83, daily dog park pass $3, annual dog park pass $25, and group camping is available too.

Appears to be kid and pet friendly or just a nice place to stay overall but I will tell you first hand it was not. I’ve never in my life spent so much money to be treated with so little respect in my life. My family and our dogs stayed for a week (mind you we are quiet and keep to ourselves, our kids are respectful and we always clean up after our pets) during this time we had a woman that worked here at our camper at least 50 times a day “checking in on us” first thing was she didn’t like our solar lights we put out so we could see to put our shoes on when we had to make midnight doggie deposit runs (and not have to turn on our big light and disturb our neighbors)… next big thing was it rained for 3 days straight while we were here… which didn’t phase my kids who strapped on their rain gear and went to play on their play equipment… when the rain stopped and the sun came out- the same woman came knocking to let us know my kids had gotten their play equipment muddy and she expected them to go clean it off- which was no problem I sent them with the broom and some spray bottles. Little did I know, she was going to have someone power wash it 25 min after they had spent all day scrubbing and cleaning it… but my final straw was our last night here… we had left for a few hours to go do some things and we came back and my 2 year old daughters wagon (very clearly not a utility wagon- it’s pink!) was completely full of all the pet waste from the day I’m guessing, with a note taped to it saying “dump pet waste here” needless to say I’m fuming at this point.

As far as the facilities… We paid for 50 amp power and full hook ups for the duration of our visit- they instead put us in a 30 amp campsite (which is not a big deal we had adapters) but for the price difference I’m a little pissed looking at how we were treated. The shower houses are nice.. And the price gouging in the store is outrageous… almost 600% markup for even just a cold drink. I will try to add a positive note, as I try to do for even places such as these- they did have a very nice wash room for laundry. But having only one dryer that kinda worked (2 hours to dry a small load of laundry) kinda ended up being another strike against them as well. I’m not one to be nit picky, nor am I petty.. but how I was treated was completely outrageous. -20/10 makes me reconsider ever staying at a KOA again if this is how they are allowed to treat their campers!

Also beware of the goat heads! They’re everywhere. I got one in my foot, my son got one in his bike tire, and we had a flat on the camper due to one. When I say they are thick, they are THICK.

This location is in Denver. Cherry Creek State Park has a nice lake, fishing areas, a bike trail looping the entire lake, and several activities. A robust visitors program and center, plus full hook-up spots, make this an easy getaway. The campground is well-treed and sits near the lake. A bike trail connects the campground to the visitors center and beach area (on opposite sides of the road). Picnic areas and fishing-specific areas are found on this side of the lake as well. The campsites offer grass, paved pull-throughs, and big trees. The campground was full while we were there. We attended a program to learn more about the park and enjoyed it. We went swimming at the beach and played in the sand. Several locals spend the day grilling and enjoying the sunshine here. They have a marina that interestingly has sailing lessons and rents boats. Each campsite has a fire ring and table and was raked when we arrived. A large lightening and thunder storm occurred during our visit (not surprising for June). The area is flat, so water pooled around the camper and on the paved roads and brought some crazy clouds. The park trails connect to a trail that leads to Castlewood Canyon State Park in Castle Rock as well (for those who want a good ride). We will be staying here again and enjoying their amenities which include full showers/flush toilets, laundry room, park visitors center (they sell ice cream) and a relaxing "beach" environment in Denver.
