Foxfield, Colorado sits at an elevation of 6,200 feet in the eastern plains region of Colorado, approximately 20 miles southeast of Denver. The area experiences a semi-arid climate with significant temperature variations between seasons, including snowy winters and warm summers. RV campers visiting Foxfield often note the intense sun exposure at this elevation requires additional shade considerations when selecting campsites.
What to do
Hiking nearby trails: Clear Creek RV Park in Golden provides access to extensive walking paths and biking trails along the creek. "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," notes one visitor to Clear Creek RV Park.
Wildlife viewing: Woodland Park offers opportunities to see deer and other wildlife right at your campsite. At Diamond Campground & RV Park, campers report: "We have uninvitet frnds, deers all over! Goust was very nice and many friendly peoples. Plenty of shade as well."
Urban exploration: RV parks around Denver provide convenient access to city attractions while maintaining camping amenities. "This campground allows easy access to Denver, Golden, and the foothills. Campers are close together, but there are some mature trees. This campground is nicer than most that provide access to Denver," explains a camper at Dakota Ridge RV Park.
What campers like
Convenient city access: Many RV parks near Foxfield offer proximity to urban amenities with outdoor recreation options. "Perfect urban campground. I was stranded in Denver by a snow storm ahead. I called Prospect and they found a spot for me... Right next to it is a nice lake and park which connects to hiking trails. So you're in the city but a few steps away, you feel like you're out," shares a reviewer about Applewood RV Resort.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and shower facilities make stays more comfortable. "The bathrooms are very clean. The staff is helpful. Walk up the hill to the open space adjacent to the campground for a view of the mountains and the city," mentions a Dakota Ridge RV Park visitor.
Water recreation: Several parks offer water activities during summer months. According to one Clear Creek RV Park camper: "Our site had a big concrete picnic table and a small fire ring. Full hookups worked fine. The River area was well-developed and well-used by the community as well as campers."
What you should know
Seasonal operations: Not all parks remain open year-round. Clear Creek RV Park operates from May through September only, while others like Denver Meadows RV Park stay open throughout the year.
Site differences: Quality and levelness vary significantly between sites, even within the same park. "Sites are not necessarily level & certainly aren't spacious. Grass is pretty sad or nonexistent except right at the office," notes one Applewood RV Resort visitor.
Noise considerations: Urban RV parks often experience traffic and neighborhood noise. As one Falcon Meadow RV Campground visitor explains: "There's moderate road noise from Highway 24. A white noise machine helps here."
Reservation requirements: Most parks require advance booking, especially during summer. "This is a nice campground. Easy to book and pic your desired site. Good cell reception and easy to work while on the road," shares a Diamond Campground visitor.
Tips for camping with families
Choose parks with play amenities: Select campgrounds with kid-friendly features. "The campground has a pool and hot tub. The play set for kids is small. The bathrooms are very clean," mentions a Colorado visitor to Dakota Ridge.
Look for spacious sites: When traveling with children, roomier campsites provide better comfort. At Diamond Campground & RV Park, "Some sites are not very level, but others are quite level. Easy to book and pic your desired site."
Consider water activities: Parks with creek or river access offer natural entertainment. "Fishing, 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," notes a Clear Creek RV Park reviewer.
Check for noise levels: Family-friendly parks typically maintain quieter environments. "We set up three tents on one site and had a great experience. Nice bathhouses and many guests who looked like they stayed here for weeks at a time," reports a Falcon Meadow visitor.
Tips from RVers
Cell service quality: Remote workers need reliable connectivity. "Cell Service: 3 bars of 5Ge on AT&T. My personal hotspot worked great here. WiFi: Slow, but strong signal and definitely usable for light web browsing. Google speed test showed 2Mbps down, 0.40Mbps up," shares a Dakota Ridge RV Park camper.
Laundry availability: Extended stays require laundry facilities. "The laundry facility was clean and well kept," notes a visitor to Applewood RV Resort, though costs vary significantly between parks.
Dog restrictions: Pet policies differ substantially between RV parks near Foxfield. "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," warns a Dakota Ridge visitor.
Leveling requirements: Many sites require equipment for proper leveling. As one Denver Meadows RV Park visitor explains: "The sites in the north section are gravel, dirt, asphalt, and a small number of concrete pads. The south area can handle large rigs."
