Not a lot of options on I 70 east of Denver for overnight parking so opted for a KOA last minute. Easy last minute check in process. Served great for a quick in and out.
Guide
Staff were super friendly. The place did everything we needed for an overnight stay the drive in from RMNP was fantastic. Showers were clean(dated who cares, they worked. I’m not an instagrammer)
Scout
just now New Don't give this owner any business. Former homeowners of the mobile home park offered 20.5 million in 2019. The greedy owner Sean L. rejected the offer because he was dealing with the former mayor and counsel to have the area rezoned so he could make more. Hundred or residents were displaced! Karma is a bitch for this greedy owner and the politicians who went along with him. SHAME. Their was a documentary documentary made about the subject of mobile home parks being bought up and raising rents at will. The film is called A Decent Home.
Scout
Good spot. County was in a burn ban so no fires or charcoal grills allowed. Lake had some weird rules. You have to buy a county park pass when making reservation.
ScoutWe called in the early evening, booked over the phone, & had a map with directions to our site waiting for us. The site was easily accessible & the restrooms were clean & well stocked. It’s close to the interstate, but just fine for one night.
TravelerMy wife and I spent a week here. We enjoyed seeing the kids playing in the playground and riding around the park on their bikes. Nearly every day a deer would come munch on the greenery right behind our rig. The staff were super friendly and I believe we received good value for our payment considering the prices and sold-out state of other nearby parks like Horsetooth Reservoir. The campground is right on the banks of the Big Thompson river which does provide a soothing background for those fortunate enough to have sites on its banks. The roads and campsites are dirt, and a little messy after a rain storm. I think more attention could be paid to mowing the weeds of campsites between users. The laundry facilities were underwhelming as well; there wer two broken washing machines while I was there, and I spoke to a permanent resident who stated that they don't do their laundry in the park because of the poor availability of the machines. The facilities were clean. It can be suddenly and very windy here, so most campers did not use awnings. The campground is about 35 minutes from Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain National Forest, two excellent destinations for anyone coming for a vacation.
Guide
Clean and well maintained campground. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Our site was well spaced from our neighbors, but other areas were fairly dense. Electric hookup worked, but no water at the site, and "public water" in the area was a broken water fountain. We filled up at the dump station. Shower house was close, only open 6am to 10pm, pay showers minimum $2. Excessive road noise during the day, it did quiet down each night. If we stay here again we will stay nearer to the entrance or get a cabin.

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.
GuideThe campsites for tents were pretty close together and there were a lot of people camping, but the primitive spots were perfect and not far from the bathrooms. The trains were loud throughout the night and so were the the coyotes, but not a bad campsite.
Scout
Amazing views, friendly staff & nice set up. Wish we could have stayed a little longer. But definitely helpful when passing through.
LegendThis 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. Our towed vehicle was included when we checked in at the ranger station.
The campground is at the back of the park, roughly 2 miles from the entrance. There is a lot of bike traffic and windy roads. Sites are mostly level, electric only, and relatively close together. We stayed in Site 41 which was walking distance to the pit toilets and water spigot. We had no trouble fitting our 29' Class C, tow dolly, and towed vehicle.
We filled our 7 gallon water jugs at the spigot to top off our fresh water tank. The spigot is the terrible skinny faucet that is not threaded as to dissuade RVers from connecting a fill hose to it. If you want to fill water jugs like we did, bring a short (<6') hose and a water bandit so that you don't waste water.
Pit toilets and flush bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The bath house at the center of the campground features coin operated hot showers, $2 for 10 minutes. The water temperature was very hot, but manageable. A great convenience since there are no sewer hookups at the sites.
This is a great place to camp if you want to explore Morrison, Golden, or catch a show at Red Rocks. The main park entrance closes at 9:30 and a back gate accessible from I-470 opens that allows access to the campground. We had no trouble getting an Uber to pick us up to go to Red Rocks, but had several driver cancellations trying to get back after a concert.
ScoutI'm female, the male staff were rude and made me feel uncomfortable. Full hookups are $100/night. Our spot was muddy puddles on both sides with a picnic table 4 feet from our neighbors sewage line. Laundry didn't have a good spin cycle and took forever to dry. Not great.
TravelerPros:
- great location for exploring Denver
- beautiful sunset
Cons:
- SO MANY FOXTAILS which can be deadly to dogs, and my site was covered in them. They're also everywhere throughout the campground. So if you have dogs I would not use this more than a stopover to recharge.
- Highway noise was very loud if outside rig
Cell: you're in the middle of a city, both AT&T and Verizon worked just fine
Scout
This has become one of our favorite places to camp. Very quiet. Evenings are cool. Plan on making a fire. There are lots of trees if you like shade. Stay away from the A loop – it is small and tricky to back in. Panorama point is a must see.
GuideLots of activities and amenities geared towards kids and families.
Site was level, we had a pull through.
It’s fairly close to town and to good hiking so it’s a good location.
Verizon service was okay but not great. We were able to work off of our hotspot but occasionally had issues.
GuideBig campsites. Can be hard to get a spot in the summer but great biking, hiking right from the camp site. Close to highway but can hardly hear and traffic noise. Reservoir in the park for swimming and fishing.
GuideReally enjoyed this spot and the convenient location to red rocks.
Traveler
Loved getting to go swimming and it was a fun spot. Next to a road so it could get a little noisy sometimes
TravelerThe owner on-site most days. Always work being done to improve facility. Mostly gravel sites that are level.
ScoutWe stayed two nights and loved it! Electric hookups (we used 50amp at our site) but no water hook up. Drinkable water close by at various locations within the campground. Some road noise but not bad at all. The lake was great for paddle boarding, canoeing, and kayaking.
ScoutAwkward placement but overall decent

GuideOur favorite campground in the greater Denver area use as jumping stone
GuideThis was a great location to explore RMNP! A little tight on the spots but the sound of the river was so soothing.
TravelerMy Gf, 3dogs and I have lived here for 2 months +. Haven't had any problems, it was quite, and peaceful. Lots of good food nearby.
GuideThis campground is very nice with cement pads for your trailer. Not all campsites have a cement pad. It is quiet with kids playing, so some sounds but not annoying. The staff are nice, activities planned for kids, meals on the weekend at least. Our stay is in early October 2022.
GuideWe stayed here for a quick overnight so did not have time to enjoy the park. Very well kept with nice clean bathrooms. Showers take quarters so come prepared if you plan to shower. Sites all looked level with nice fire rings and picnic tables.
