"Very convenient campground with great access to North Denver/Boulder area. Only downside is proximity to I-25 and traffic noise. But there are many nice trails and lakes to fish from."
"It is near I-25 highway so there is road traffic noise but becomes background noise after a day or so. But if that bothers you you won’t like it."
$28 - $540 / night
"Each camp spot in Pelican has an entrance to lake although a rocky step before water. There is a small beach at the end to put your kayaks, rafts, boards in."
"Our site was near the vault toilets, which was convenient. They were very basic, but clean.
Short walk to the lake where people were fishing and boating. The kids had fun at the little beach."
$50 - $70 / night
"Tucked away in a small farming community is this single space RV spot, next to a shop and along a field we don’t feel like we’re at a campground at all."
$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. "
$36 - $41 / night

"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."
"The camp ground is close to interstate 70 and cars were driving past every second non stop and super loud. Everything then that the camp is fine"
"It’s close to the interstate, but just fine for one night."
GuideFor what you’re paying for it could be better. Vault bathrooms are not clean and smell awful. Look I know they smell and are dirty but people do your part to close the lid and clean up afterwards. Showers are good but you have to pay $2 per shower Dump is $15 too! Good cycling around here Cell service is ok. Sometimes drops. Verizon and att People working here are very friendly and helpful. Leave it better than you found it.
RangerI had a medical emergency and had to stay in the area for a few days. After one night in the hospitals parking lot we found this KOA nearby. The camp ground staff were impressive in their help and understanding. They said they would make sure we had a site for our 45’ bus. Once in the site they continued to show care for how I was doing to the point of holding our site in case we needed to stay longer. I could not ask for better customer service. I give Mandi and Mark solid 10’s!
Now the bad. Many sites, like ours lack grass or weeds to keep down the dirt and mud. Tree stumps are left protruding inches above the soil level leading to a tripping hazard on the way to the restrooms and shower house. We had exposed roots in our site. I cannot imagine that the owners would not see these hazards and want to remove them for safety. Our elderly dog tripped and fell on one such stump. Sites are fairly close together.
For the price, I expect nice grassy areas not just at the sites but other larger expanses of areas around the park. I think the owner can do much better ascetically.
We would stay again but only for the customer service.
GuideSunny open sites but still some privacy
LegendOverall vibe and convenience to Boulder rate 4 stars. Although there was a wedding one evening, it was mellow & over, with folks dispersing, by around 8pm. Minimal bugs so we did not use screens for a good part of the time, the overall land the site is on, is long and narrow and so parking/car traffic can be a little tight. We did go out the exit on far side and drove down the hill back to the entrance which necessitated more than 180 degree turn, so try to avoid that. Three clean bathrooms, 1 men's with 2 toilet stalls and shower (toilet stall were very small--knees bumped against door), 2 co-ed bathrooms (one with toilet/sink/shower, one with toilet & sink only). One sink in co-ed had very hot water coming out of both faucets (no cold from this sink). Paper towel dispensers ran out and were empty for a day but then roll of paper towels appeared.
Wifi was spotty & disconnected regularly, no Verizon service. There is a small 'store' in office: A fridge with drinks and burritos, some shelves with some Mountain House dinners, and snack bars. There is a pool, dry sauna with great LARGE window looking at creek, and hot-tub (sauna worked great). Did not get a chance to see any of the rooms. Tent sites are up a VERY steep path and on platforms on side of hill (perhaps 50-60' up the hill?). There's an area with some slack lines set up, as well as electric vehicle charging stations.
ScoutVery nice park with some pull through and back in spots.
ScoutThe staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Campground is clean and quiet.
TravelerThe Good: Very clean. Diligently maintained. Super friendly staff.
The Bad: Day use Denverite humans on bicycles who run their mouths as the peddle past. (Get a job, Chad).
The Ugly: national home improvement retail outlet neon serves as a directional reference from every vantage point.
RangerClean, relatively quiet. During week not crowded. Look for a spot with a tree to park in shade. Nice path along lake. We like it while visiting Loveland with good cell coverage and close to town.
ScoutCamp sites are nice, but except for a few (~5) the rest require a serious climb (drive) up a gnarly hill with deep ruts.
I wouldn't try this with a camper/RV, or anything that doesn't have high clearance and power.
