"This park is kind of pricey even in the winter (we stayed Nov22-Jan23) but it’s Colorado and it’s all pretty pricey. Park staff is super friendly and accommodating."
"Good site if you want to be close to Denver but still have a short drive to the foothills."
$36 - $200 / night
"Chatfield State Park is a great mixture of access to the outdoors with availability of many of the benefits of a metro area close by."
"This is the first time I’ve found a state park so close to a major metro area!!
Because of its proximity to Denver, Chatfield fills up quickly, so book well in advance."
$18 / night
"area was plowed open to exactly the width of our trailer, so with more than three feet of snow on the ground we needed to get some exercise and do a bit of shoveling so we could back in and be able to walk"
"Late October is very unpredictable in Colorado for a camper who is primarily a tent camper."
$28 - $432 / night

"It is in the center of the city, but aside from the traffic on the dam in the distance you would not realize it. "
$32 - $80 / night

Golden, CO is a super cute town on the outskirts of Denver. The city has a campground in a prime location, and we were lucky to book a site!"

"Take a friend and a picnic for a lovely day on this beautiful lake right here in Arvada. Your worries fall away and you can experience the joy in nature around you. Maybe weird but true!"
"5 stars because of the lake, Mountain Views, and it not being far from town. Rent a floatation device or bring your own and enjoy the warmth on the lake☀️"

$36 - $41 / night
"Very convenient campground with great access to North Denver/Boulder area. Only downside is proximity to I-25 and traffic noise. But there are many nice trails and lakes to fish from."
"It is near I-25 highway so there is road traffic noise but becomes background noise after a day or so. But if that bothers you you won’t like it."
TravelerThe road was a little rough for a pop up camper. More for tents
ScoutAnother beautiful stay at Sunset Point. Fantastic spot. Great beach and close to town. Thanks again to our fantastic hosts, Nadine and Mike!
TravelerIt's a beautiful park just wasn't expecting a lot of people to be here. Also wish the camp spots was further from another spot.
ScoutTucked away in a small farming community is this single space RV spot, next to a shop and along a field we don’t feel like we’re at a campground at all. Easy commutes to many towns and all the stores you could want just 15 minutes away. There is no sewer connection but we managed just fine. What a nice place to relax.
TravelerThe photos did not do this area justice!! There were some mixed reviews about needing a high clearance vehicle/4x4. We took our Subaru Crosstrek and the drive up was rough. We made it unscathed because my husband is a great driver but I wouldn’t try this unexperienced!!
The coordinates will take you to the start of the rocky part of the drive (Stewart road I think?) so from there to our campsite it probably took us another 25 minutes.
We set up camp a little prematurely because we were ready to be done driving, but once we started hiking up towards Loch Lomond Lake, we quickly saw a ton of even better spots with mountain and water views. Next time!
ScoutBusy but plenty of space for privacy. Walking distance down a navigable road to the reservoir. Limited amenities, but 1 bathroom and a trash site. Bears in the area. Permanent campfire ban taken very seriously, forest rangers around giving tickets for fire. $500 each. Don't be stupid! Take care of this beautiful place.
TravelerGreat spot. First 30 or few spots are a little close, accessible for most vehicles but fills up quickly. Past 30, they get more dispersed but more difficult to get to. Past 35 or so it’s a true 4x4 trail, only saw broncos/jeeps past this. Trail continues pretty far down, but opens up to 48 spots or so near the tree line.
Great spot! Highly recommend 4WD for anyone going. Stock jeeps/broncos will be fine past 30s. Would go again
LegendDid not find disperse camping on bald Mountain Road, but grab this little pull off for the night. Fits one vehicle.
GuideThere are spots by the river and up in the meadow. The river is a little noisy from the road and close to the horses. Its beautiful though . Meadow spots are quieter. National Forest hiking trails within walking distance. Amazing hosts. Neat story behind the camp. Weather is amazing up here when it’s hot in Denver. 4 stars only because there are no showers for campers.
