"Chatfield State Park is a great mixture of access to the outdoors with availability of many of the benefits of a metro area close by."
"This is the first time I’ve found a state park so close to a major metro area!!
Because of its proximity to Denver, Chatfield fills up quickly, so book well in advance."
"This was our first time staying at Bear Creek Lake. The park is not part of the Colorado Wilds or CPW State Park system, but daily vehicle fees are included with your camping reservation."
"Note: If the GPS takes you to a dirt road with a closed gate at the end, get back on the highway and take the next exit to the park entrance."
"This park is kind of pricey even in the winter (we stayed Nov22-Jan23) but it’s Colorado and it’s all pretty pricey. Park staff is super friendly and accommodating."
"Good site if you want to be close to Denver but still have a short drive to the foothills."
$32 - $80 / night
"Had a great spot right next to the Clear Creek walking path. The campground is clean and well looked after. Clean bathrooms and showers. Close to many hikes and mt trails."
"**Campground Review: **
Golden, CO is a super cute town on the outskirts of Denver. The city has a campground in a prime location, and we were lucky to book a site!"
$33 - $40 / night
"They use a keycode system to restrict access to the centrally-located bathhouse (there is only one in the campground), which I thought was clever. "
"The highway noise was very noticeable, but didn’t take away from the peaceful setting. It was a clean campground. The bathrooms and showers were clean and have a key code for entry."
$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."
$28 - $432 / night
"I only gave it 4 stars because on the outskirts of the state park we have a lot of homeless camps popping up oblong Parker road and 225."
"It is in the center of the city, but aside from the traffic on the dam in the distance you would not realize it. "
"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!!"
"There's several creeks that run through the area and a network of trails that intersect the Colorado Trail and the road. The area is popular with mountain bikers."
"The area was well kept and obviously beautiful, it's Colorado after all. There was no running water, however the camo host drives an ATV around offering water from giant containers. I loved it."
$28 - $90 / night
"This spot is just a quick ride outside of Golden. The scenery is gorgeous with several trails to hike or mountain bike. The campsites are clean and easy to get to."
"Stunning campground nestled right outside Golden and Boulder Colorado. We couldn’t believe it…so close but you feel incredibly removed once you get there."
ScoutGorgeous views up here! The drive up is super bumpy but we made it here in a class A just fine. Close to Central City/Black Hawk if you need a quick trip to the grocery store. Quiet most of the time, though there are quite a few ATVs flying past and a shooting range nearby. Campsites are relatively close together but the trees offer decent privacy. The sites are mostly level, which is to be expected when you’re parked on dirt. Love it here and will likely be back!
TravelerThis place is gorgeous, we only made it just past the coordinates and parked on top of that hill. Thought we could get in farther but a quick walk showed us that it’s little too washed out and steep for our pickup camper. Super nice area, lots of walking trails you can do. Amazing views of the mountains and this spot is perfect to watch the sun set in the west.
TravelerBeautiful area with 30 campsites, in a cool old mining area, a few of the campsites are across a creek which was probably 18” deep when I crossed but will likely lower later in the season, I’d recommend a mid-high clearance vehicle either way for the bumpy road in but did see a few cars make it with lower clearance Subaru Impreza’s and such. Overall great stay, some fun off roading trails near by and beautiful views. A bit buggy so bring bug spray but a camp fire keeps them at bay.
ScoutI had messed up on a rv booking and there was literally no where for us to go. Pulled this place up. Made a gamble and it paid off. Beautiful. Quite. Cozy. We were able to get a 33foot travel trailer back there just fine. Real off grid but was a nice spot only 10 min from town
ScoutThere were so many mosquitoes. The spots are awkward.
GuideThis was a nice campground situated really close to Winter Park and Fraser. The mosquitoes can get pretty bad, definitely bring some bug spray.
The sites were somewhat small, you definitely won’t be getting a larger camper in any of them. For the reserved sites you also need to go down a one lane dirt road that is moderately steep and rutted. Most of the first come first served sites are quite close to the highway and not as quiet. The sites by the river are nice and the river lulls you to sleep at night.
There is good cell coverage in the area, I had 3 bars of 5G with T-Mobile while staying in site 19.
TravelerThis spot is perfect for a quick one night camping trip. It is about an hour and a half from Denver and fairly close to Silverthorne. The road in is definitely slightly rocky but very doable. Lots of spots on the river but keep in mind it will be super buggy. Trailhead is easy to find at the end of the road and leads to a couple of sweet spots. We stopped by Boulder Lake and it was about 6.5 miles total of a hike. Loved this spot!
TravelerWe stayed two nights in a tent camp site. We happened to arrive just as the camp hosts were making their rounds and talked to them, got recommendations for which site to pick (they were 100% spot on with their recommendation) and local trails.
The sites are all beautiful! Each site has a fire pit, picnic table, bear box, and tent pad. There's no water, so bring your own, but there are vault toilets.
--A NOTE ON FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVE SITES-- Because of its proximity to Wild Basin and Sandy Beach Lake, this is a popular campground. I recommend arriving for your first night during the week (we arrived on a Thursday and had our pick of sites).
When you arrive, you will flip the sign at your site from "open" to "reserved" to show that it has been taken. Once you've paid your camp fee they will clip a little receipt to the sign. This may make it look to some reviewers like the first-come-first-serve spots were actually reserved but they were not. Those reviewers may have just gotten there late on a popular weekend and all the people who got there first were served first. That's how it works.
ScoutWe are a Class C++ Leisure Travel Van Unity Model at 25'. I rate your facility a W!-The A3 site chosen is gravel with a hole or two and significantly tilted low to the front left....requiring a 4 high stack.-The highway is busy and noisy.-The bars across the road are noisy with loud music now and promises to get louder as time goes by. Staying with you is not a privilege. You promise a resort and we get a big city tenement. I suspect that you don't care to live up to your advertising and will not be phased by a customer who will never return.
