$30 - $120 / night
"Best place to camp in Estes Park/Northern Colorado! Wooded sites mean privacy from your neighbors and shade during the day."
GuideDecent campground. Showers, bathrooms, laundry available. More “glamping” than camping
LegendThis is one of my all-time favorite places to hike and camp in Colorado. I have not yet stayed in any of the campgrounds but have backpacked to the top of the American Lakes Trail. Not only is this hike fantasticly beautiful and full of wildlife (tons of moose especially) but there is great dispersed camping along the trails. You simply cannot find more scenic and free camping in Colorado. I would highly recommended camping anywhere in State Forest State Park!
Also, there are quite a few huts, cabins and yurts that can be rented year round in SFSP!
GuideCame here for two days and loved it. Nice staff, clean campground and facilities and a nice set of scenery to match. Fort Collins is a nice college town and has restaurants, shopping and a nice downtown. The campground has a ton of activities for families to do on site. A nice store and everything you need right there. A great place to hang out.
Guide$90 for dry camping!!?? Rip off. And YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THE SHOWERS. They are for glamping sites only! The only thing good was we had a nice view. It's very difficult to get into though.
ScoutLoved it,
Went on an adventure with my husband, we booked a tent site here because it is cannabis friendly. Which it is.
The Hosts are very nice and Accommodating.
The views were amazing, met some great people, and chipmunks.
The drive to Fort Collins is about an hour, however it's a beautiful trip. You are a short time away from Chambers Lake, and the Reservoir.
Highly recommend this area.
LegendJake from the Dyrt here! The Longs Peak Lantern Glamping Tent is a great spot to escape from the city without going too far, and its a great jumping off point to visit Rocky Mountain National Park! Check them out and share some pictures you take on your trip!
ScoutThere are community fire pits, stocked trout pond, access to the river, acres of woodland, and Colorado’s smallest bar! We love the vibe at AVR and the owners are amazing. Occassionally you can catch live music and there are several historic buildings they are restoring. We have a few friends that don’t camp which is okay because they also offering glamping, tipis, cabins, and a lodge. Trust me... one stay and you’ll be booking another one soon after!
TravelerWe had the good fortune to stay at the Lakeside KOA during our recent trip to Fort Collins. The sites are spacious, and the campground is run well.
Talk about luck! We had one of two RV sites up near the lake. They were incredibly roomy, level, and shaded! There is a fantastic walking trail around the lake and saw a good number of fellow campers fishing off of the pier.
The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the restrooms were clean and private. The only issue that we ran into was the Cottonwood trees were blowing their seeds when we were there (second week in June). Definitely felt like it was snowing but having the trees and shade was well-worth the annoyance of shaking off the cotton seeds.
We highly recommend this well-run and spacious KOA if visiting the Fort Collins area. Oh... as of June 2021, you do need to have reservations to enter Rocky Mountain National Park. Highly recommend booking well in advance, but if you forget or didn't know, the NPS does release 25% (or 33%... can't remember exactly) of the next day's passes the night before precisely at 5pm. We had three of us online at 5pm, and all three of us were able to access passes (only one of us actually got the passes for the group). By 5:03pm though, they were all gone.
Cheers!
ScoutThis is not 'glamping'. This is a pitch your tent, start a fire, watch the deer walk thru type campground. Beautiful views of the Rockies, trails for all levels of hiking. My only tip--bring your own TP, they kept running out. And a jacket, nights are chilly at this altitude. No trailers, RVS allowed as tiny, winding dirt road to get there.
