    Fort Collins Lakeside KOA Holiday

    Resort style amenities just outside of town!

    This was my first time staying at a KOA campground and I was blown away by the amenities offered here. Upon first pulling up to the campground, I was met by a security checkpoint and was directed to the main office to register and obtain a car pass. The attention to detail and security measures were another surprise to me, as I have always been more accustomed to primitive campgrounds. As previously mentioned, I was astounded by the variety of amenities offered to guests including wifi, a pool, mini golf, a massive playground, arcade, volleyball and basketball courts, horseshoe pits and more. This all in addition to the usual premium campground amenities such as showers, laundry facilities, RV dump station, camp sinks, an office store with basic goods and snacks, etc. 

    This campground is super family friendly and seems to be much more focused on offering RV sites and cabin type lodging. As I am a tent camper, my review will be focused on what is offered for those at a tent site. There are 5 tent sites, which are only available from May 1stto September 30th. The sites are rather close together but in a lovely location right along the lake. The sites cost $45/night on week days and $50/night on weekends for one or two people with a single vehicle, additional guests cost $10/night, additional car $5/night and fire ring rentals are $5/night. Tent sites include a parking spot, a raised and level tent platform, picnic table and grill. Open fires, hammocks and clotheslines are not allowed even at the tent sites. 

    Overall, this campground provides a very family oriented environment with luxurious amenities. This campground would be a great option for those wanting a camping experience without having to “rough it” whatsoever. The RV sites and cabin lodging also provide unique options for those not wanting to sleep in a tent. The price for tent camping seemed a bit steep for me, but made sense considering all of the facilities offered. The location just outside of Fort Collins provides easy access to town while still allowing for a more rural experience.

    Fort Collins Lakeside KOA Holiday

    Many activity options!

    General: Many different options: tent sites (with or without hookups), back-in 50/30 amps FHU (with or without patio), Pull-thru 50/30 amps (options include patio and/or hot tub), camping cabins and deluxe cabins. 

    Site Quality: All sites are level and have a concrete pad. Although the sites are close together with no privacy between them, there is some separation with a grass strip.

    Bath/Shower: Code to enter and clean with soap and paper towels. 

    Activities: So many options. My favorite was the half-mile fitness trail that circles the lake. Other activities include mini golf, volleyball, basketball, pickleball, horseshoes, shuffleboard, bike rentals, a fishing pier, a pool, and a nicely appointed playground. 

    Other amenities include a library, laundry, train depot, paddle boats, and a small store. 

    While this is not our preferred type of camping, it suited our needs for a night en route home, and I loved the gravel fitness trail. It was not high season yet so some things such as the pool and paddle boats were not available, and the campground was not full so it was quieter than it would be on a summer weekend.

    South Bay Campground — Horsetooth Reservoir

    Friday Night 💫

    Beautiful campsites next to water with onsite water access. Wonderful campfire pits/grills and picnic tables. Quiet hours were no inforced which can be good or bad.

    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!

    Elk Meadows Lodge & RV Resort

    Horrible and a waste of money

    Well, what is there to say about Elk Meadow Lodge and RV. We booked a tent site for Fri-Sun. We are a fully contained truck with a roof top tent but we're not allowed an RV site (despite the fact we would have loved electricity and water, and were willing to pay for that luxury). We pulled in after hours to a $h1t show. Our site was unlevel (in the extreme, I pity the people in ground tents that don't have leveling blocks), had no picnic table, and had our neighbors fire pit 6 feet from the side of our truck. Since it was after hours I had to call the 'emergency number' so that my boyfriend and I would have the $50 a night luxury of cooking our dinner on a table. I also expressed concerns about the fire pit damaging our truck or roof top tent, to which I was told "well what do you want us to do, since we can't move the fire pit". Obviously not Jill, but I would like to bring it to your attention. She also offered to have us move sites, but since all the fire rings are in the parking space, I'm not quite sure what that would accomplish (excellent planning on their part!!). When Jill, and I'm assuming her husband arrived with the picnic table (all praise Jill for providing what we paid for!) They were nothing but mean, snarky and downright rude. The excuse for lack of a table was "were closing sites for winter). I'm writing this after only being at the offending RV park for 1.5 hours, but I can't wait to leave. You should save yourself the trouble by never entering in the first place. At least the views were pretty, if you like highway noise.

    Update #1: Boyfriend almost got bitten by a black widow in the bathroom while turning on the light, someome flew a drone, very low, over our tent at 8 in the morning, children were screaming like coyotes all night (seriously), and it's been a rare moment that dogs have not been barking, yapping or howling (no not the kids this time). And I just got to hear the staff gossiping about us requesting a table. Can't wait to see what tonight brings!

    P.S. I am so excited to see what their reply is to this review.

    South Shore Campground at Carter Lake

    Nice Spot

    I stayed in spot S18 for 2 nights. Large gravel pull through spot (as were all of the sites on this loop), with a picnic table and fire pit. Some trees around this site providing shade on both sides, but this was not true of my friend’s site as S20. Also enough foliage between sites to give a feeling of privacy. Nice view of the lake and boat ramp. Electric hookups at site, water and vault toilets available.

    Estes Park KOA

    A repeat vacation

    On a cross country today trip these were the nicest camping cabins we stayed in. The campground itself is relatively small but with a nice playground and camp store as well as bathroom facilities. You can't beat the view, people and the easy location to go into the downtown. We only had one night here but plan to make a week long trip to the area at another time we liked it so much.

    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!

    Castle Mountain Recreation Area at Wellington Lake

    Good Campground for Social Distancing

    Currently they don't have day-use open, so there's plenty of space at the lake to set-up and spend the day playing with the kids. We stayed in a mountain site (not lake-front) and the kids loved climbing the rocks and exploring the mountain. Really friendly staff. Quiet hours are not well kept and that would be my only complaint. No motors allowed on lake. Great for paddleboarding (rentals available), kayaking, canoeing & kid's floats.


Guide to Henderson

Cabin rental options near Henderson, Colorado include accommodations for 2-7 people with costs ranging from $65-150 per night depending on size and amenities. Most cabin camping areas sit between 7,500-8,500 feet elevation, which contributes to cooler nights even during summer months when daytime temperatures typically reach 75-85°F.

What to do

Fishing access: Riverview RV Park & Campground offers sites directly along the Big Thompson River. "We had a great time at this campground. We spent 4 days in a spot right next to the river. Close to Rocky Mountain National Park. Really enjoyed the river, dog park, live music on sat. night and laundry," noted one visitor.

Mountain biking: The trails at Golden Gate Canyon State Park provide extensive options for riders. A camper mentioned, "This park has great trails for hiking and mountain biking. There is also a high elevation lake as well as fantastic views of the continental divide."

Wildlife viewing: Watch for local wildlife at several cabin locations near Henderson. "Nearly every day a deer would come munch on the greenery right behind our rig," reported a guest at Riverview RV Park. At Standley Lake Regional Park Campground, one visitor highlighted the "Nesting Bald Eagles. I don't know how you could not like a place with a huge lake that bald eagles nest beside. With a rookery, this is the spot for bird enthusiasts!"

What campers like

Clean facilities: Denver East-Strasburg KOA receives positive comments about its maintenance standards. "The laundry, bathroom and showers were clean with nice hot water. They have pizza delivery to your site-- which on a day that was 36 degrees with icy rain, was a welcome treat!"

Proximity to attractions: Many cabin sites offer convenient access to nearby destinations. One reviewer at Indian Paintbrush Campground—Bear Creek Lake Park noted: "Close proximity to the highway. Clean level spots. Geared more towards RV camping. Pros: great views of the foothills. Lots of park amenities like horse stables, archery range, swim beach, boat rentals, hiking trails, picnic areas."

Variety of cabin options: The diversity of cabin accommodations meets different needs. At Indian Paintbrush, a camper shared: "We spent 4 days in a yurt. Really enjoyed the dog park, live music on Saturday night. Was just beautiful, all the staff was wonderful and made our first time in CO wonderful."

What you should know

Highway noise: Several cabin locations sit near major roads. At Denver East-Strasburg KOA, a guest pointed out: "Literally right next to highway I-70, there's no way you'll get a restful night's sleep. Maybe in an RV or renting a cabin you'll have better luck, but as a tent camper it was brutal."

Site spacing varies: The distance between cabins can impact privacy. At Reverend's Ridge Campground, a visitor observed: "The campsites are very close to each other and it's busy. We went with friends with adjacent campsites, so that made it fun. However, if we were camping alone it would have been a little close next door."

Reservation requirements: Popular cabin sites fill quickly, especially during peak season. "We showed up without reservations and there were many open sites but the only ones available without a reservation were in the middle of a field and shared a driveway with the site next door. So, no privacy," reported a camper at Standley Lake Regional Park Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Playground options: Several cabin camping areas include play facilities. At Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon, one family mentioned: "Our nine year old really liked the playground area," while another noted the "Stocked general store with beer and liquor, plus food."

Water activities: Many families appreciate waterfront access. A visitor at Standley Lake Regional Park Campground shared: "Really amazing and open campground with Mountains and City Life not far away! Rent a floatation device or bring your own and enjoy the warmth on the lake."

Nature programs: Cabin locations often offer educational opportunities. "The drive from Golden up into the park is beautiful and you truly feel like you are leaving the noise of Denver and the metro behind. There is no cell service anywhere in the park which I actually enjoyed," noted a family at Golden Gate Canyon State Park.

Tips from RVers

Hookup availability: Cabins and RV sites often have different utility options. At Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon, a camper reported: "The hookups work, the sites were level and the access to Golden Gate Canyon State Park was amazing. However, the campground is right on a busy road into the State Park so road noise is almost constant."

Site leveling: Prepare for uneven terrain at some locations. A visitor at Reverend's Ridge Campground advised: "The sites are not very level so be prepared to use your blocks. When we were there, there were bears in the campground."

Winter considerations: Some cabin camping options remain open year-round with varying amenities. "Denver Meadows RV Park operates year-round with full hook-ups. In the south part of the park, it is an asphalt parking lot. The north part of the park has trees. The sites in the north section are gravel, dirt, asphalt, and a small number of concrete pads."
