RV parks near Erie provide a range of accommodations for motorhomes and travel trailers. St. Vrain State Park Campground offers full hookup sites with level concrete pads and is located approximately 15 miles north of Erie, though some campers note highway noise from nearby I-25. Dakota Ridge RV Park in Golden features asphalt sites with 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections, accommodating large rigs with pull-through options. Riverview RV Park & Campground in Loveland maintains spacious sites with full hookups and has received positive ratings for its river proximity. Applewood RV Resort in Wheat Ridge provides big-rig friendly sites with full hookup capabilities but limited spacing between neighbors. "The sites are very tight and the entire place is gravel, so this is not the place to go to get out into the wild."
Most RV parks in the region remain open year-round, with some mountain locations closing between October and May due to winter conditions. Dump stations are available at most established parks, with Boulder County Fairgrounds offering a 24-hour dump station for $10 even without overnight stays. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with stronger signals at urban parks and potential weak spots in mountain locations. Electric hookups range from 30-amp to 50-amp service depending on the facility, with newer parks typically offering both options. Reservations are essential during summer months and holiday weekends when parks frequently reach capacity. Pet policies generally allow dogs with standard leash requirements, though breed restrictions may apply at certain locations.
"We pulled in late in a 38 ft Class A without a reservation and they had 1 spot in the late check-in box that would accommodate our motor home. Very clean and well maintained RV park. Beautiful view."

"Stayed here for a month and a half with electric only (full hook up spots for extended stays were already taken but that was okay). Staff is extremely helpful and accommodating."

ScoutCampground is situated along the Big Thompson River. Big cottonwood trees. Easy accessibility for big rigs. Some items … water valves leak in lakes around entire park and many are leaking. No dog runs for pups, lots of places to walk though. There are long term “campers” at this park. Bathrooms were clean but dated.
TravelerYes Mountain High!! 8100’ high. 7 miles off I-70 at Idaho Springs. 25 miles into outskirts of Denver. Don’t worry they have oxygen! Not kidding!!
Nice campground, friend staff, laundry, fun little gift shop with some food stuffs, beer and liquor. Pizza cooked there but we didn’t try it.
Our space was a big rig space on concrete pad with ample seating, a table, a fire pit, and a propane grill stove… use you own propane! Full hook ups. It was still reaching freezing at night and so we didn’t hook up our water.
ScoutCampground is located above Central City with great views. Amenities include full hookup sites both pull through and back-in. Store with everything a camper would need. Clean restrooms and showers. Playground and dog friendly. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
LegendI wanted to stop into this area after exploring a few campgrounds designed more so for tent campers in the area. I noticed some of these spaces were not ideal for those wanting to bring their RV and have amenities and that really was something that I know many of the people I know really look for when finding their locations for travel. Loveland is a little further away from the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park but it offers many great things to those wanting to explore the area and still be within comfortable distance of the park itself. The RV Resort is designed for both larger and smaller rigs and offers a variety of comfortable amenities for campers of this style.
There are 4 basic styles of offerings at this location including full hook up, oversized full hook up, premium and premium back up sites. These prices range from$56 to$65 for base single night stay. They do offer both weekly and monthly rates as well for those really wanting to enjoy the area.
Something which I have found very common amongst these style of locations is that while they do offer base charges which do not include tax there are many times additional fees depending on certain amenities. This campground was no different with additional charges for parties of over 4 people, extra vehicles or pets. Additionally they do have a sizable$20 dump fee, I found this to be quite high, especially considering there is a free dump station only a few miles up the way at another facility which allows campers or passers by alike to use their dump station.
Something nice is they do offer a Good Sam discount if you belong to the affiliated program which is a few dollars off the price of nightly stay.
Additionally amenities include a pool and mini golf which were quite nice and a clubhouse with several really cool things inside. They have a playground for the kiddos and a dog park for the furry family.
Overall the park itself seemed to have wide roadways for navigating and though for my personal taste the sites are located pretty close together they were pretty typically placed for an RV style park. Unlike several parks I have encountered in the area and others, this place did not have the long term stay option readily flagrant and while they might offer it you do not see people who look like they have moved in and allowed their area to become homely and run down. Quite the opposite, the grounds were very clean and inviting, everyone was very friendly and nothing looked like a“there goes the neighborhood” moment.
TravelerI have a 22’ travel trailer I pull behind an F150. Since this campground is inside Rocky Mountain National Park, the roads are all paved.
The campground sites are situated around one-way driving loops, which are quite narrow. Best to pay attention to which side of the loop your site is on so your trailer door doesn’t open up onto the road. I think they error on the side of caution when it comes to the size of trailer fitting into each spot. At least for mine. They said max 26’ (trailer + tow vehicle), but I’m closer to 32’ and I fit fine. That may not be true of all campsites though. There is parking very close by if your tow vehicle can’t squeeze into the site.
My site didn’t have a whole lot of trees, but they planted a bunch of small ones to try and fix this years from now. Sites were level and had lots of space. Each had a fire pit and picnic table.
There were no hookups and no cell service (Verizon). They did have trash drop offs, water for cleaning pans and dishes, and bathrooms. It was very quiet at night. Generators are allowed but only for a couple times a day during short windows.
Glacier Basin campground is just a few miles from the Bear Lake trailhead. It was very nice to stay inside the park. Vehicle passes to get into National Parks were still required when I stayed and the lines to get in were very long and slow.

Family owned and operated. They have a great long range plans for the improvement of the park with added amenities. Great progress has been made in cleaning up the park and making it more inviting. Most of the older trashy campers have left. There still is a fair amount of long-term campers but their spaces are looking much better and their campers are in better condition for the most part. all the spaces have full hook ups and there is room for big rigs. Our camper is a 42 foot fifth wheel. There is a laundry, clean restrooms and showers and mail service. There are not a lot of amenities for children at this point but those are in their future plans. This campground is actually located on the east edge of Loveland Colorado and on the east side of interstate I 25 and just south of Highway 34. For being next to the interstate, it is a very quiet campground with lots of trees and plants.  A great place to stay while visiting the Rocky Mountains. They are not really geared for overnight camping but I’m sure they would accommodate if they had an open space. Their rates are reasonable and they seem to stay full most of the time time so it is best to call ahead and reserve a site. We stayed here in November and December 2020 And again now since April 1 and will be leaving mid June.
ScoutWe stayed at site F03 from June 8–14 (we left a day early) and were very disappointed in the condition of this campground.
We live full-time in our motorhome and have traveled extensively across the country. Sadly, this was one of the worst campsites we’ve stayed at. The grass was extremely overgrown, the bushes and trees were encroaching on the site, and the water spigot in our area was non-functional. The site itself was so steep that we had to pull in forward just to attempt leveling our Class A RV—completely unsuitable for big rigs.
Adding to that, this is not a full hookup site. You're paying over $50 per night (after the additional $10 vehicle charge) for electricity only, with the nearest dump station 7 miles away. That price is far too high for what’s offered, especially given the lack of maintenance.
To their credit, the park office was understanding and did refund two nights of our stay, which we appreciated. However, we left a day early and will not be returning.
GuideGood Sam discount CO RV Parks are all more on the expensive side, but Elk Meadow is on the lower end of those around them. Great access to the RMNP(5 mins max!), as well as to downtown. Beautiful views of Longs Peak! Nearest grocery is close(5 miles away). Elk occasionally pass thru the front area which was really cool! There is also a little area next to the RV park where I think they park stored vehicles and it's a great place to walk. It's dirt, but about the size of a track.
GUEST SERVICES= great customer service! Friendly staff anytime I went into the office; they shuffled around to accommodate out extended stay on the spot so we wouldn't have to relocate and could stay at our site the whole time we were in town. We appreciated that!
WIFI/ CELL SERVICE= provided, but not reliable. We used our AT&T hotspot the entire time bc we work remote. Cell service was 4 bars and worked fine in the entire campground.
LAUNDRY: Not the cleanest laundry room we've been too, but it worked. There was a soap and water station in the laundry I used to wipe down the inside of the washer(by the chlorox holder) before using. The trashcan always seemed to be overflowing with lent and trash, but again, clean enough.
SITE: Wide roads and turns; easy to navigate throughout the campground; quiet; picnic table; spacious, no shade, needed levels on one side of our RV; dirt roads throughout so, unless it rained, it was very dusty and so we didn't open our windows as much as we wanted with the fresh mountain air. When it rained and calmed down the dust, then it was perfect to open the windows.
GuideFamily friendly campground at the end of a quiet road near RMNP. Quiet, no generators heard as big rigs won’t fit! Tents, vans, car camping and camper trailers fit well. Clean bathrooms, hot showers, friendly hosts, ice and fire wood for sale. Big playground and not crazy expensive.
RV camping near Erie, Colorado offers convenient access to both Rocky Mountain attractions and urban amenities. Located at approximately 5,000 feet elevation, Erie serves as a gateway to mountain adventures while providing the conveniences of Front Range communities. Most campgrounds in this region remain accessible year-round, though winter visitors should prepare for occasional snow and ice conditions from November through April.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Clear Creek RV Park in Golden backs up to a creek with walking paths where wildlife frequently visits. "There is so much to do at this location; aside from the sectioned off RV area, there are lots of paths and locals parks to adventure around. Tubing & swimming in the creek is wonderful especially in summertime. Our favorite is the fishing, so much fun fishing in all the different spots along the creek," shares one camper at Clear Creek RV Park.
Mountain access: The location of Elk Meadows Lodge & RV Resort in Estes Park provides quick access to Rocky Mountain National Park, just 5 minutes away. "Great access to the RMNP(5 mins max!), as well as to downtown. Beautiful views of Longs Peak!" notes a visitor. The campground also features walking paths with occasional wildlife sightings.
Urban exploration: Many Erie-area campgrounds provide access to Denver's cultural attractions. "The bus to Union Station leaves every hour just outside the campground - so with an easy 30 min trip, you are in the center of Denver! Could not be any easier when camping without a car," reports a camper at Applewood RV Resort.
River access: Campsites along waterways provide peaceful surroundings and recreational options. At Riverview RV Park & Campground in Loveland, "We spent 4 days in a spot right next to the river. Close to Rocky Mountain National Park. Really enjoyed the river, dog park, live music on sat. night and laundry." The riverside locations create a more natural camping experience despite being in developed campgrounds.
Convenience to attractions: The strategic locations between urban centers and mountain parks make Erie-area campgrounds practical bases. "This is a great base camp for exploring Denver as well as Jefferson and Clear Creek counties... Close By: 20 minutes to Denver, 10 minutes to Red Rocks, 8 minutes to the Coors Brewery, 25 minutes to Idaho Springs," explains a reviewer at Dakota Ridge RV Park.
Concrete pads: Many campers appreciate the level, solid surfaces available at Manor RV Park in Estes Park. "Nice concrete pads to park beside to help with mud and tracking so that was nice. Each site has its own picnic table," one reviewer notes. The concrete pads make setup easier and help keep camping gear clean.
Variable water pressure: Some parks experience inconsistent water pressure, requiring equipment adjustments. "Be sure to have a water pressure regulator or you'll come back to a flooded RV," warns a camper about Applewood RV Resort. Water connection quality varies significantly between parks.
Pet restrictions: Dog policies differ widely among Erie-area campgrounds. At Dakota Ridge RV Park, "Portable dog pens are not allowed. Tethering is not allowed... At this park they can only be on a 6 ft leash attached to a human. They have a dog 'area' instead of a fenced dog park where they can play a little."
Site spacing: Many RV parks prioritize capacity over spaciousness. "Spaces are VERY close to each other," notes a visitor to Manor RV Park. Another camper at Loveland RV Resort mentions, "We stayed in a premium pull through because the basic pull through were soooo close together." Consider upgrading to premium sites when available for more comfort.
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer play facilities for children. At Loveland RV Resort, facilities include "a pool, horseshoes, bathrooms are pristine, everything works great, just wish the sights were slightly further apart." The structured recreational options provide entertainment between outdoor adventures.
Miniature golf: Some campgrounds include additional recreation options. Spruce Lake RV Park features "mini golf is fun(clubs and balls are borrowed from the office) but is a little run down," according to a visitor. These amenities can entertain children during downtime at camp.
Wildlife encounters: Many children enjoy the animal sightings common near Erie-area campgrounds. "My family and I stayed here for a week in a 34 ft travel trailer. Two bull elk were hanging out at our site one day," reports a camper at Manor RV Park. These natural experiences create memorable moments for young campers.
Wi-Fi reliability: Internet connectivity varies dramatically between campgrounds. At Manor RV Park, "WiFi was pretty consistent" while at Loveland RV Resort, one camper reported, "Wifi said 'connected, no internet?'" Many experienced RVers rely on cellular data instead. "I used our AT&T hotspot the entire time bc we work remote. Cell service was 4 bars and worked fine in the entire campground," shares a visitor.
Sewer connection placement: The location of hookups can create challenges at some sites. "The sewer is 6 inches above grade and slinky support wasn't tall enough. You might be lifting your hose to assist emptying," notes a camper at Applewood RV Resort. At Manor RV Park, "Sewer is placed poorly (uphill and far away from sewer tanks) with water and sewer lines running over each other." Bring extension hoses and supports when camping near Erie.
