Best Equestrian Camping near Denver, CO

The views, wildlife, and geology in the park are astounding---add to that the yellow aspens in the fall and you have classic Colorado camping not far from Denver. There are a lot of different options: typical state park camp sites, cabins, and a yurt, as well as backpacking/backcountry sites. We did the yurt in the winter and it was amazing, but make sure you have a jeep (or similar) and bring everything you need.

Whether you've got a 2-person tent or a whole corral, plenty of options here and all with great views. Watch for drainage flow paths during spring so that you don't wake up in a temporary river or mud bog. Other than that enjoy the short drive from denver, fantastic hikes at all skills levels nearby and of course chilling in Georgetown!

Trees, trails and tranquility just an hour from Denver? Yes please! This is one of my new favorite spots -perfect for a quick weekend escape. We loved the roomy pull through spots for our camper, easy electrical hookups, super clean bathrooms and shower house. So many other campgrounds in Colorado have been hit hard by the pine beetle epidemic, but Reverends Ridge still has towering trees that make the loops feel private and remote. Dont mIss the easy hike to Panorama Point. From there you can let link to the rest of the extensive trail system through the park.

Great! Great! Great! Big campground but still peaceful. Not far from Denver but a world away.

Generously sized tent sites accommodate a variety of tent sizes. Be aware you cannot hang hammocks.

Bathrooms were clean. Showers cost $1. There are facilities for washing clothes and dishes and even vending machines.

There is some great hiking in the park and a couple of trailheads right out of the campground.

This place is great. Located in Littleton, CO surrounding man made reservoir Chatfield "Lake". I found camping pretty easily without a reservation in the middle of summer, I guess everyone was going out in the hills. I just needed a place to stop, and it was perfect. DON'T GO SWIMMING IN THE WATER! Unless you accept the risk of getting a sty. There are boats chugging along in here all day long, spewing fuel and exhaust waste into the water. It is nice to lay along the beaches and climb a tall tree. Truly a beautiful place, not to be discounted. Great for a short trip from Denver area without any preparation. I really enjoyed walking along the shore of the reservoir, and had a great time climbing the trees on the east side of the "lake"! FUN FUN FUN!

This campground has a equestrian area and a tent camping area. The tent camping is to the right after you enter, there are two tent loops with bathrooms. Water spigots next to the bathroom. There are a few trails here, some are horse trails. Overall a beautiful spot with some shade!

My folks bought property you can ride to Indian Creek from. Love this area!!! Lots of beautiful trails, close to Denver and very peaceful. Bring your ponies, its an equestrian campground!

Indian Creek was pleasant and I would return. Attractive sites available with trees and grass. Most sites are better suited for tents or vans. I was able to fit a 20 ft travel trailer, but there’s only a handful of trailer sites. No hookups. Cell service was zero with ATT and Verizon. We hiked Indian Creek, but it was very hot. You can hike a portion along Bear Creek for a few miles which was the best part. Lots of hikers, mtn bikers, and horses. The camp host did check in and was very helpful and friendly. Good option close to Denver.

Although 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!

Camp here to hike one of Colorado's most climbed 14ers, Mt. BIERSTADT. This pass can get CROWDED so plan to leave Denver early on a Friday.

So much to do in this little area-lakes, trails, horses. Very close to red rocks. This is still in town so great for beginners

Indian Creek is lush and wooded, while still being close to Denver. The drive in is easy, following a paved road most of the way. Great spot for car camping. The Indian Creek trail system is ideal for mountain biking or running, with access to the Colorado Trail running through it as well.

Close proximity to the highway. Clean level spots. Geared more towards RV camping. Pros: great views of the foothills. Lots of park amenities like horse stables, archery range, swim beach, boat rentals, hiking trails, picnic areas. Con: Orange glow of Home Depot sign at night and no shade during the day. Your camping reservation (strongly recommended) includes park admission.

was just beautiful all the staff was wonderful and made our first in Co wonderful I would deffiantly recommend this place for sure beautiful views the yurt was awsome and we tent camped last night please come visit and see for yourself they have archery, a beach, horse stables and ring, large lake to fish, clean bathrooms and courthouses will stay again if we are ever in co again😁😍❤

Stay here a couple times a year, great amenities and lots to do with a swim beach, shore line, horses, boat ramp and model planes. Model plane field is close to the campground, can hear it early in the morning. D loop is quietest, C loop is electric only so you have to wait in the dump line, and I've found A & B loops to generally be the rowdiest. Recent construction has started of a big housing development right up against the park so get there before you're surrounded by houses!

As full timers, we always stay here (year around) when in the Denver area for work. Great playgrounds by the campgrounds, really great laundry facility (also with showers and restrooms if needed). Really well maintained sites and park rangers for added safety and re-enforced rules. The off season is a little more relaxed since less busy.

Very conveniently located (15m any direction), between multiple parts of the city suburbs and Denver interstate system for ease of getting around.

Pretty state park next to a reservoir in a convenient part of Denver.

Great views of mountains. Just minutes south of Denver. With decent facilities and a playground for kiddos.

good location downtown Denver, near the hospital we needed to go to, it served its purpose, then we headed to the mountains,, lol

Loved this site. We got to town late, and left early. The shower facilities felt very clean and the park felt really natural- for it being so close to Denver.

We boated on cherry creek lake and had a blast! It is a directional lake. About 30 minutes outside of Denver. There is a bathroom and volleyball court by the lake but nothing fancy and no beach.

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.

Daypass needed $10.00, can be bought at campground office.

Showers, laundry and restrooms building d-loop was open.

2 men showers were out of order, most laundromats very dirty with tobacco.

Pretty silent at night, ok to stay around Denver

Super clean campground. Close to Red Rocks and Denver. You have to drive a bit to get to the lake. Some nice hiking and biking trails off the campground. Beautiful views of the mountains. Has trash and recycling areas. Would stay here again!

$35 per night with 30 or 50 electric hook up. Right next to Red Rocks! Lots of hiking, or biking trails. Nice pay shooters. $1 for 5 minutes. Sites are not too close together, though not spaciously apart. I imagine it's packed in season being so close to Denver. No wifi.
