Guide
If you want to get into the Park, suggest you go EARLY, EARLY, EARLY in the day. Traffic backs up all the way from the Entrance on Parker Rd to the Entrance Booth on weekends and holidays. Plan on an hour OR MORE to just get to the booth. Once the capacity for the Park is reached, you will not be allowed in.
Nice Swim Beach with brand new Bldg. Many covered Picnic sites, but again, you MUST arrive at the break of day to secure one.
Please plan to pack your trash out. Seems to be a severe shortage of dumpsters or trash cans and people leave behind huge bags of trash - or, sadly, just trash strewn around. Please respect our space!
Campground is usually fully booked all season. Reservations can be made six months out. Two week limit.
I live close to the Park and visit every month of the year.

Not a lot of options on I 70 east of Denver for overnight parking so opted for a KOA last minute. Easy last minute check in process. Served great for a quick in and out.
Guide
It’s your typical KOA, however, why should you have to pay $85 for just a pull thru electricity and water site, ridiculous !! Road noise is noticeable because as per KoA, your “conveniently” next to an interstate. Restrooms/showers need a good cleaning, however they are a little dirty and the women’s restroom smells like a vault toilet. There’s a silo nearby and it sounds like a big industrial fan running almost constantly. And flies, a lot of them. If possible, skip this overpriced KOA!
GuideEven though we were told they had recently graded all the sites, they held water. We has rain (and hail!!) and our site was flooded. Site next door was flooded and stayed that way throughout our 1-night stay.
On a happier note, staff was friendly and site was fine for an overnight stay.
ScoutWe called in the early evening, booked over the phone, & had a map with directions to our site waiting for us. The site was easily accessible & the restrooms were clean & well stocked. It’s close to the interstate, but just fine for one night.
RangerFriendly check in and right off the interstate. Nice amenities for the kids to burn off some energy after a day on the road. The down side is the sites are literally right on top of one another.
ScoutBeautiful state park. Great for a day or two. Bathrooms were exceptionally clean and well maintained.
LegendFirst time camping here. The Gold Rush loop is all full hookups. We stayed in Site 95 and had no trouble fitting our 29’ Class C, tow dolly, and towed vehicle.
There are multiple facilities in the campground that have hot showers and flush toilets. The building closest to the campground office also has a laundry that works via coins or pay via app, $2 per load.
Easy access to the sand beach on Cherry Creek reservoir, plenty of hiking and biking trails, and close proximity to Aurora, Centennial, and the greater Denver metro area. We would definitely stay here again.
LegendCherry Creek State Park offers a variety of activities including water sports and a sand beach. The campground has tent and RV sites including full hookups.
We stayed in Site #95 which is a great private spot on the Gold Rush loop. The campground offers multiple bath houses as well as a laundry that is coin operated as well as available via an app at $2 per wash.
GuideEasy check in beautiful sites but the highway noise was a bit of a distraction. We would definitely recommend and come again.
TravelerThe owner on-site most days. Always work being done to improve facility. Mostly gravel sites that are level.
ScoutAwkward placement but overall decent
Scout
Yes, it is a parking lot revamped for head to toe RV parking. However everything was clean and includes electric/water hookups and dump station. Across the driveway is a really nice well maintained park with shaded tables and room to run that includes playground, swimming pool ( not open now of course) with toddler pool, basketball courts, etc You certainly get a lot for your $25.
GuideProbably not where you want to stay if you're in a tent unless you're desperate. $25 for a tent site right next to the road. We left and got a hotel nearby. It's fine if you're looking to park your RV and need hookups, but it's basically just a parking lot

I really enjoyed this park ,the owner was great , and was very friendly. The RV park was full of wild rabbits that were running all around. The views were of a neighborhood park with grain silos in behind the park,. and wind turbines in the distance ,definitely different

Jake from the Dyrt here! Whether you’re going to the races or nearby to explore the natural surroundings, this camp on Funk Road can be the home base you need. Make sure to post pictures and a review of your stay!
TravelerGreat Campground, Incredible Dog Park
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.
Legend
We stopped here since it was off the highway on the way towards Denver. It is all gravel/dirt with tight spaces and lots of seasonal/full-time campers. Few amenities but they do have a small playground near the office with sand, toys & swings. The office has a drop box for late arrivals, I didn’t have to make a reservation and found a spot they listed as available for 4 nights so we stayed there 2 nights before moving to St Vrain State Park. It is very close to the highway, especially the group of sites on the east side, it can be noisy but
Traveler
The owner was so friendly and helpful, above and beyond in customer service. They site was well-kept, the potty was clean, and the fire ring was perfect. Would totally stay here again!
GuideAlthough it was a quick overnight trip for us, don’t let that be you! It’s we’ll thought out with lots of activity areas like, mountain bike trail, shooting area, off leash dog area, model airfield, equestrian trails, lake and hiking trails! It’s a 4200 acre park with 850 acre reservoir. It’s a destination, really!
ScoutWe stayed at the Homestead Cabin and Campground in mid September for 5 nights while visiting our daughter nearby. The owners went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible and it was. Looking forward to staying there next year on our trip to Colorado
GuideWe stayed here for one night before heading back out on the road. This place is huge and has many amenities. It’s very well maintained. The bathrooms were very clean and the showers were pay only and only with a bank card. $1.50 for a five minute shower. There is also an $11 day pass fee not included in your camping stay. There were full hookups. The sights were concrete and level. It was a little pricey, but we would stay again when visiting family, because there is definitely a lot to do!
TravelerThis city park campground is 10 minutes off the highway - a perfect overnighter. We had W & E with a picnic table on a gravel lot surrounded by the municipal park. Some shade but don’t count on it. A few tent sites too.
Scout
Amazing property! The family that keeps up the property are so kind, accommodating & love what they do! Love the showers!! And Omg! Fell in love with the puppies on the property. I wanted to take one of them home. I miss them already. I’ll definitely be back even if it’s just for 1 day and to say hello to the family especially sweet little girl Liberty 💕! I’m beyond grateful & bless that I found such camping grounds with incredible heart warming caregivers.
TravelerOur stay at liberty ranch was so great, we ended up staying longer than we had planned and the hosts were super accommodating, friendly, and people we are very glad to have met. We loved being able to see all of the animals and the outdoor bathroom and showers were great, so were the activity options they had. We felt incredibly safe and liked the location as well, secluded but not far from Aurora at all. Bring extra padding if you do decide to tent camp on the concrete is our only advice. We would definitely recommend if you’re stopping through for a bit!
ScoutAmazing experience! The host was very accommodating and the property was great. Loved seeing all the animals on property, using the hot top, and seeing the great views from the balcony. Easy commute to the city of Denver. Would highly recommend!
