"good location for cute old mountain towns! also close to Denver and other must sees in Colorado!"
"8100’ high. 7 miles off I-70 at Idaho Springs. 25 miles into outskirts of Denver. Don’t worry they have oxygen! Not kidding!!"
$26 / night
"It is really quiet at night and the creek gives off a beautiful white noise for those that are close to it."
"Watch for drainage flow paths during spring so that you don't wake up in a temporary river or mud bog."
"Just outside of Idaho Springs, take the exit for Co Rd 275 off of I-70. It's a scenic drive up a curvy paved road for about 15 minutes."
"It is about 7 miles of dirt road, and 4 miles of very challenging (for me) driving.
Be sure to follow the sign LEFT to Chinns Lake. "
"There are different types of sites, including some pull-offs for campers, some sites you could drive into off the road, and some with parking on the road and a small hike down to the site."
"The site we found was tucked back away from the road giving us nice privacy. We could barely see our neighbors from our campsite, but we could hear them."
"Resources were running low on a Friday night so it was great pull off great views close to idaho springs down town , nice hiking trails as well traffic is pretty much non existent after 9pm"
"Any unpaved areas around it are not flat."
$25 / night
"Sites 7, 9, and 11 have trails that connect back to Chicago creek just a short distance away. Hiking trails are close by to nearby forests land. No cell service."
"It's close enough to civilization that there was a LOT of activity both in the campground and at the nearby picnic area. Choose a site on the outside."
"I first camped in Colorado last year with a friend and we chose this dispersed due to it being close to travel too- yet still dispersed. I’ve come back 4 other times to camp here!"
"It is a light off road trail and would recommend having high vehicle clearance and 4x4. We were unable to park right next to the reservoir because it was closed off."
$26 / night
"Echo Lake campground is situated off Squaw Pass Rd next to Echo Lake and the start of Mt Evans Rd."
"RV sites are VERY close together and a little close to the main road. That is the only downside. Beautiful and spacious sites surrounded by spruce trees. Camp host was friendly and helpful."
$27 / night
"Located on Dillon Reservoir, Prospector Campground offers a nice balance of feeling remote while being conveniently near some really neat towns."
"The Prospector Campground is a great option for those who want to go camping but still remain close to town and for those who want just a short walk to fish the shoreline of Lake Dillon."
$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."
TravelerTerrible spot, def don’t come here during the summer! It’s not pretty at all on the creek or all the different spots deeper into the forest. There’s 0 room and it’s not beautiful at all when it’s sunny & gorgeous out. (Kidding, this place is a gem)
ScoutHey everyone, just wanted to leave a little review about Golden Terrace, South. This is actually a nice campground with some very close together spots, but very quiet people for the most part. We’ve been here for two months and I’ve enjoyed it thoroughly . The shower house facilities is extremely well kept , and has reliable hot water. As for cost cost to park your rather high, I would encourage someone to mix this with Boondocking .
LegendI have a front wheel drive Promaster and it wasn’t impossible, but it didn’t give me the warm and fuzzies trying to get up there. A lot of private property and all just very scrunched. Hard to turn around. Don’t recommend it.
GuideWe're the type of travelers who intentionally seek out underrated places/hidden gems and lesser-visited spots, even in tourist hotspots. That's exactly why we loved Timber Creek CG. It's on the (much) quieter west end, near Grand Lake and a good distance from all of RMNP's most popular sites. In our opinion, that makes for a much nicer, more tranquil camping experience - and evidently the elk agree, because this campground is a hub of elk activity! The video I attached is from the campground just after sunrise, and we saw and heard tons of other elk as well. If you drive this end of Trail Ridge Road at dusk or dawn, you'll see loads of them too (stop and walk around and bit at some of the viewpoints/pullouts). They're supposed to be great for moose, too, but we personally didn't see any.
We stayed one night each in sites 50 and 17, and both were great. Facilities are basic but clean and sufficient, and fairly close to every site. This is a very popular national park, so while you won't have any real privacy, we did feel like the sites were positioned thoughtfully, so that everyone sort of faces a slightly different way. Highly recommend!
ScoutThe first couple of sites are close together, but if you drive further in, they space out more. Had a really good time camping close to the Colorado River. There was a porta potty there, which was very convenient. I was able to get a tiny bit of connection on my AT&T service.
ScoutBeautiful setting. Lake view. Mountain View. Good time.
GuideDue to tough road, the camping site was incredibly quiet. No services but plenty of space, Mountain View’s and locations near gurgling creek.
GuideSo worth the effort to travel the potholes to get to these sites. Almost no other campers mid week. Was cold at night but snow capped Mountain View’s and gurgling creek were beautiful. Later sites are better so worth heading up the road. No facilities so just be aware.
GuideLoved getting off the beaten path with our Bean Trailer. Perfect setting with views of snow capped mountains with a gurgling creek running next to camp. Some sites had cut wood, but no facilities to be prepared.
