Best Glamping near Grant, CO

Staunton State Park Campground houses walk-in glamping sites offering a secluded retreat just an hour from Denver. These distinctive accommodations blend comfort with wilderness, positioned along private trails and surrounded by stunning mountain scenery. Castle Mountain Recreation Area at Wellington Lake also provides glamping options with picnic tables and fire rings in a more accessible setting. Both locations feature vault toilets maintained to high standards, with Staunton's sites offering remarkable privacy despite their proximity. The walk-in nature of Staunton's glamping creates what one visitor called "pretend backpacking" with sites "stretched out along two short trails" that provide substantial space between neighbors.

Golden Gate Canyon State Park offers premium glamping yurts as an alternative to traditional camping, combining comfort with wilderness immersion. Situated among aspen groves and pine forests, these sturdy canvas structures provide proper beds, heating, and rustic furnishings that elevate the outdoor experience. Denver West-Central City KOA provides alternative glamping accommodations with full amenities including showers, electricity, and water hookups. Hiking trails connect directly from most glamping sites to larger trail networks, making morning exploration convenient. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with deer, moose, and various bird species frequently spotted near the accommodations. According to a camper at Staunton, "Sites are spaced out, but if you happen to get an upset baby at the next site like we did, you'll be up all night too."

Bear Bottom Cabins and Glamping
A Magical Glamping Experience at Bear Bottoms!
We stayed in one of the glamping tents at Bear Bottoms and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The tent was spacious, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. All tucked away in the woods! The bed was cozy, the lighting created a peaceful ambiance, and we loved having little touches of rustic charm with modern comfort.

The property itself is serene and so well-maintained. We enjoyed relaxing by the stove in the evenings, listening to the sounds of nature, and just soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation (there is some light traffic sounds that died down at night). Us and the dog enjoyed roaming and hiking in the area.

The hosts were fantastic! Debbie and Justin were friendly, responsive, and clearly passionate about creating a special place for guests. Every detail felt intentional and welcoming.

If you're looking for a unique getaway that blends the beauty of nature with the comforts of home, Bear Bottoms Glamping is a must.

Castle Mountain Recreation Area at Wellington Lake
Private but Crowded
Beautiful lakeside camping just outside of Denver. Campsites are a bit close together, but great for groups! No hookups here but you have bathroom facilities and a visitor center where you can buy firewood. Campfires allowed in the fire pits. If you have an RV beware quiet hours from 10pm to 8am, no generators allowed. Lake is perfect for paddleboarding, kayaking and fishing and you will most likely have phone service if you are with AT&T or Verizon. Many day use areas, however vehicles and individuals are charged. For campers, if you bring more than one vehicle you will be charged daily for any additional ones. No drinking water is available, you must bring your own. Dirt roads to the lake are rough and narrow. Close to Deckers for incidentals. Intersects with the Colorado trail for hiking and biking and close to the Colorado River for tubing!

Cherry Creek State Park Campground
City Camping at it's Best
Great campground here at this state park. We have always stayed in the Arapahoe Group Loop for holiday weekends. Arapahoe Group Loop has a great pavillion with outdoor kitchen and bathroom. Overall Camper amenities are great and very clean. Many well shaded individual sites are available. Campsites are far from other park amenities like Dog Park, Shooting Range, Marina. Swim beach is a 10 minute walk-able distance from campground. Recommend driving to get around the park.

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.

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!

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.
