    North Park Campground

    Not well kept, but has potential

    Was an old KOA. In fact, there are two typical KOA A frame buildings that need to be torn down due to their lack of upkeep. The grounds were overgrown with weeds knee high.

    Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon

    Breathtaken, I remember it all too well 🫶🏼

    Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon is everything you expect it to be and more from the overview! Nestled right in beautiful Colorado, even!& I love camping! Okay, I admit, I love‘camping’ in parks where there are cabins with beds and air! So of course, we stayed in a climate controlled cabin! Reminded me of KOA Campgrounds and similar price except this park is in COLORADO with amazing views and KOA’s are just barely outside of boring iowa/SD cities(the ones we stayed in) the scenic walks were worth it themselves!

    But they have all sites, not just cabins, of course.(: I have 3 children and not one of them wanted to leave!!!(Made my sanity go a bit crazy, but says a lot when children stay somewhere for vacation and aren’t complaining and becoming bored before the end!) When we didn’t understand something they jumped to explain without being annoyed or irritated. They really hooked us up there! A little note: in my experience, and I’m sure everyone there is great, but Dillon, especially, took so much time to answer our questions show us around and ensure we had a quality time! He was so kind and has that approachable personality of someone who loves to help others and ensure you have the best possible time!! 10/10 would stop again!

    Echo Lake Campground

    Small but quaint campground

    It’s a small campground at the entrance to Mount Evans. Some of the sites are very close proximity, while others are pretty spread out. The camp host Rick was awesome! If your looking to party it up all night, this is not the place for you. Rick follows the quiet hours to a T! I would recommend this place for a night or 2. Also recommend the drive up to Mount Evans, spectacular views! There is a store/restaurant across the street from the campground, but it’s mostly touristy things, no camping supplies.

    Estes Park KOA

    Noisy next to road and small showers

    Nice people, but right against the road. My tent was 50 feet from the main road and I tried to sleep with my head under the pillow. Also, showers are TINY, but bathhouse is air conditioned.

    Denver West-Central City KOA

    Mountain High

    Yes 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.

    Arapaho Valley Ranch

    We love Arapaho Valley Ranch!

    There 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!

    Stillwater Campground

    In the shadow of the mountains

    Campground sits by itself on a small peninsula in Lake Granby, CO. Has many drive up spots with gravel tent pads. Sites are not right on top of each other so you will have some space. We arrived after dark and setup; the view in the morning was a wonderful surprise. Almost no trees/shade, expect sun and wind exposure.

    Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountain

    Great RV Park

    This place has everything! Bowling, an amazing pool and hot tubs, super clean facilities, full hookups, rent an airstream or chuckwagon for the weekend, stay in a tiny home - really, there’s so much to do especially for families. Our site (308) had an outdoor kitchen area, nice firepit and chairs, and outdoor table and chairs.


Guide to Granby

Camping near Granby, Colorado offers access to multiple alpine lakes and national forest trails at elevations between 8,000-9,000 feet. Summer temperatures typically range from 45-80°F with afternoon thunderstorms common in July and August. Many campgrounds in this area have been affected by pine beetle infestations, resulting in fewer shade trees than visitors might expect.

What to do

Fishing at Willow Creek Reservoir: Willow Creek Campground provides direct access to a reservoir stocked with rainbow and brown trout. "Great fishing on Willow Creek Reservoir—Rainbows, Browns, and some salmon. Boats with motors are prohibited, so there are many canoes, kayaks, and other non motorized activities on the lake," notes one camper at Willow Creek Campground.

Hike from your site: Green Ridge Campground connects directly to Rocky Mountain National Park trails. "I didn't have to take my car to trailheads - hiked nearly 20 miles of low traffic trails with the trailhead right across from my site," reports a visitor to Green Ridge Campground.

Wildlife viewing: The Granby area offers frequent wildlife encounters right in campgrounds. "We had many moose sightings in the campground during our stay," shares a visitor at Arapaho Bay Campground, while another mentions, "Lots of elk, mule deer, foxes, some bears, and many other species of wildlife" at Willow Creek.

What campers like

Natural swimming areas: Unlike developed pools, several campgrounds offer lake access for cooling off. "The lake was a 100 ft walk from our site and had a pebbly beach all to ourselves that was a great place to hangout for the afternoon. It made a super launching point for paddle boarding and canoeing," writes a camper at Sunset Point Campground.

Clean facilities: Many Granby-area campgrounds maintain high standards despite remote locations. "Bathrooms were very clean and safe. The lake was amazing and the sites are somewhat distance from others," notes a visitor at Stillwater Campground.

Quiet atmosphere: Campers frequently mention the peaceful environment. "The campground was nice and quiet, without much noise pollution from the nearby road. The campers were all considerate with their noise levels, so it was a very peaceful stay," reports a visitor to Willow Creek Campground.

What you should know

Reservation timing: Most popular campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. "The first come first serve sites fill up by early Thursday. Get there earlier in the week and you will have a better chance of getting a spot," advises a visitor to Arapaho Bay Campground.

Bear precautions required: Bear activity is common throughout the Granby area. "No bear lockers and only vault toilets, nowhere to wash hands so bring hand sanitizer... They're not kidding when they say bear country- had bears at our site and around the campground 2 out of 3 nights!" warns an Arapaho Bay camper.

Weather variations: Granby sits at high elevation with rapidly changing conditions. "We stayed 2 nights in May 2018. The weather and views were absolutely amazing," notes one camper, while another mentions, "Two feet of snow! This was on the summer solstice," from Green Ridge Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Activities beyond hiking: Family-friendly campgrounds offer additional recreation. At Snow Mountain Ranch YMCA, "The Y offers a variety of activities included in the camp fee and publishes a weekly schedule of activities. We enjoyed the Y's hiking trails, excellent disc golf course, and introduction to pickleball. They have lots of activities for kids."

Kid-friendly water features: Look for campsites with safe shorelines for children. "The beach is amazing our kiddo threw rocks and explored all day!" shares an enthusiastic parent about Stillwater Campground.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Children often enjoy animal sightings from a safe distance. "Loved camping here. There was plenty of shade and camping lots seemed large. We had many moose sightings in the campground during our stay," notes a camper at Arapaho Bay.

Tips from RVers

Road conditions: Some access roads present challenges for larger vehicles. "Road in across the dam is ROUGH to the point of hazard, and lacks guardrail. Significant safety concern for others or those with large or unwieldy vehicles," cautions a visitor at Arapaho Bay Campground.

RV length limitations: Research size restrictions before booking. "There is a limit of 35 feet for RV/Trailer length," notes a camper at Glacier Basin Campground, while others mention that many sites in the area can accommodate larger rigs but access may be difficult.

Hookup availability: Full-service sites are limited in national forest campgrounds. "We only stayed 2 nights when snow was forecasted and we wanted to be plugged into power to run our heat. There is a dump station but it was closed due to freezing temps when we left," reports an RVer at Stillwater Campground.
