ScoutAfter a day of worrying where we could stay thank goodness we came across clear creek getaway. We had an amazing time thanks to Rick’s hospitality! Our yellow A frame was the perfect little home with the most gorgeous view of the sunset. Conveniently located off the 70 it has bathrooms, board games, and a bbq! This was a magical stay of epic proportions and I would highly recommend it to any traveler’s.
ScoutWe’re getting ready to boondock for a bit. Instead of overnighting at a trick spot we snagged site 13 at about noon, same day. Great pricing with only about a $20 premium to dump/fill at Love’s and electric/water hookups with dump station included. Really pretty spot. We’d probably come back to stay longer! Weather was super pleasant and cool enough at night to have windows open on July 10th.
GuideWe stayed here overnight on a backpacking trip. Tons of small areas to camp a little ways off trail with plenty of water access.
ScoutIt’s a good spot to camp and had nice views but there are no fire signs posted on the way up and if you are planning on walking up i wouldn’t recommend this spot because the way up is very steep and it’s a challenge to get up this path on foot.
ScoutPortable dog pens are not allowed. Tethering is not allowed. We don’t like tethering and our rv is small so we travel with some wire folding dog fence so that our dogs can hop in and out of the rv when the weather is good. At this park they can only be on a 6 ft leash attached to a human. They have a dog “area” instead of a fenced dog park where they can play a little. The area for dogs is awful, I’ll include a picture.
GuideStopped here between Boulder and Vail for an overnight and there was only one spot left, and it was really worth it. Absolutely stunning views and even saw a deer spots are mostly level well maintained and right off the 70
GuideWe stayed here for a night in August. Very nice and well-maintained campground. The views of the surrounding peaks were great from our site!
GuideWe stayed here for one night on Fourth of July weekend. The road up was a bit rough but nothing too bad, if you take it slow you could probably make it up in anything.
Not terrible busy on a Sunday in July. We passed 5 or 6 occupied sites before finding space for us.
GuideThe sites were large. We found a nice spacious one a little off the road, there was a ditch between the road and the site so some higher clearance helped avoid scraping. Nice time overall.
