"Easy pull-through, clean spot, large metal picnic table with large fire pit and grate. Each camp spot in Pelican has an entrance to lake although a rocky step before water."
"I would always jump for the electrical sites but any sie will do. The non-electrical sites have much less natural shade so you will need canopies."
$28 - $432 / night
"Arapahoe Group Loop has a great pavillion with outdoor kitchen and bathroom. Overall Camper amenities are great and very clean. Many well shaded individual sites are available."
"Very pretty campground with tidy tent spots and on-site bathrooms, showers for rent, and laundry. Very easy to access even from the RTD bus stop."
$36 - $200 / night
"It's very close to Denver, with every amenity you could think Of! This isn't how we usually camp, but after 4 days of driving and hiking we needed this mini oasis!"
"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."
"Staff are friendly. Golf cart escorts to your site. Sites are flat but a bit cramped. The laundry, bathroom and showers were clean with nice hot water."
"Highway noise is inevitable. Friendly staff, clean bathrooms/showers. The women's bathroom has very chic mirrors! They have some covered wagons you can rent for the night that looked fun."
$18 / night
"The campground office restrooms were open, heated and clean. Trash dumpsters were available as were recycling cans. The electric hookups were on."
"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."
"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."
"We chose this campground to be close to Red Rocks for a show. We didn’t expect much from it, but we really liked it! Yes– as some reviews say– you can see Home Depot from the campground."
$35 - $55 / night
"The ranger crew is serious about conserving the area’s natural eco system, but still very inviting and kind!"
"There’s no hook ups for water, electric or dump sites although there are water spigots that can be used to fill fresh water. The shower is an outdoor shower."
"Had my packet ready when I arrived to make for a easy check in. The bathrooms are clean, but internet is spotty."
"Water went out for half the day while we were here in the campsites but one of the bathhouses was still online so we used those showers and they were nice and clean and spacious."
"Excellent Staff and amenities on site. The lake is great for catch and release. Grounds are well maintained no observed litter on the property."
"Nice staff, clean campground and facilities and a nice set of scenery to match. Fort Collins is a nice college town and has restaurants, shopping and a nice downtown. "
GuideGreat campground here at this state park. We have always stayed in the Arapahoe Group Loop for holiday weekends. Arapahoe Group Loop has a great pavillion with outdoor kitchen and bathroom. Overall Camper amenities are great and very clean. Many well shaded individual sites are available. Campsites are far from other park amenities like Dog Park, Shooting Range, Marina. Swim beach is a 10 minute walk-able distance from campground. Recommend driving to get around the park.
ScoutBeautiful 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.
ScoutI think this campground experience varies significantly based on your site. We stayed at E36, which was nice, clean, and right across from the pit toilet which was nice for our needs in a teardrop. However, it was also right next to residential housing. Everything was quiet, but it is still a far cry from secluded- and neighbor campers were very close as well. There was a level tent pad in addition to the pull-through site. Leveling the trailer was pretty straight forward.
Loved the trees, and the placement of the fire pit was ideal at our site- surrounded by pines. I can imagine how beautiful it would be in the summer.
Driving through the campsite there were some sites that overlooked the lake- I imagine the reservations for those go quickly, but I will definitely try to get one of those sites next year.
There was a bath house with a few stall toilets and running water. They also had some coin operated showers and a lovely day-use picnic area.
All-in-all an enjoyable stay, and it probably would’ve gotten 5 stars if we had a site with a view, but decent otherwise.
Of note: *Very limited cell service, but better on top of the hill by the bath house. *The road in had some pretty rutted areas that had to be avoided- and also pretty narrow- I don’t think the main road through the campsite would’ve handled 2 cars wide, and there was no signage stating it was a 1-way road.
LegendJake from the Dyrt here! The Longs Peak Lantern Glamping Tent is a great spot to escape from the city without going too far, and its a great jumping off point to visit Rocky Mountain National Park! Check them out and share some pictures you take on your trip!
GuideWe love to visit Golden Gate Canyon State Park early in the season because it is very busy all summer. This is our second stay at the park in March, and we have had wonderful snow both times.
The Reverends Ridge campground has limited sites available this time of year but is still well maintained. The campground office restrooms were open, heated and clean. Trash dumpsters were available as were recycling cans. The electric hookups were on. There is no water available except in the restrooms.
The campsite (C-35) parking 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 along side the trailer and open the door! .More snow was falling as we set up but the scenery was absolutely magical. About 25 yards of more shovel work made it so we could find and dig out both the table and fire pit provided. We had a warming fire going in no time.
Golden Gate is a wildlife paradise and as we worked we could hear Turkeys calling form the trees. We were also graced with the presence of four huge Moose who had taken up residency and were lounging in the snow. In the distance we could hear the yips and howls of coyotes.
Snow graced us for the first of our Friday to Sunday stay, but warmer temperatures arrived Saturday afternoon and the great daytime thaw and evening freeze common to Colorado mountains in springtime began in earnest. This made for some cautious walking around the snow piled nearly everywhere.
One of the great things about this park is the winter activities available on the many trails, and the added benefit of Nederland, Black Hawk, and Central City Colorado being within easy driving distance for some small town amenities if desired. This is a great park, and my wife is wishing to visit when there is no snow! 😎
GuideStayed one night to wait out weather in the mountains west. Staff are friendly. Golf cart escorts to your site. Sites are flat but a bit cramped. The laundry, bathroom and showers were clean with nice hot water. The have pizza delivery to your site-- which on a day that was 36 degrees with icy rain, was a welcome treat! The town has a basic commercial street with a gas station, liquor store, and coffee shop. There's a bar and grill across from the campground also. I wouldn't call it a destination, but more than served its purpose for the night.
GuideThis was a wonderful experience for us! If you are looking to be in solitude in nature this is not the place for you. It's very close to Denver, with every amenity you could think Of! This isn't how we usually camp, but after 4 days of driving and hiking we needed this mini oasis! Clean showers, bathrooms, laundry rooms and playgrounds. Even the fire pits were spotless. There are even vending machines and WiFi 😂
Pets okay on leash, lots of bunnies hopping around so keep an eye on your little buddy.
LegendMy family and I stayed here for one night in a 34' travel trailer as a reward from crossing Kansas. :) We knew what we were getting into - a tight family campground, so we weren't disappointed in that regard. It's actually a little hard to write this review because there's such a mix of pros and cons. I think listing them out will be the best strategy.
Cons:
- VERY close to the interstate. Take a look at a satellite map view so you will come prepared. The road noise is ever present, and if you can tune it out you will be a much happier camper. We were able to sleep ok with it, but it was a constant in our experience.
- Proximity to your neighbor. This is the way it is with KOAs, but it did feel strange hooking up utilities within arm's reach of your neighbors having dinner.
- Wifi. They advertise it, but it was so slow that not once was I able to successfully load a single webpage. Verizon is also not strong here.
- Cable. They had hook-ups but quality was too poor to watch.
- The hot tub was closed with no indication when it will open.
Pros:
-The playground was pretty awesome, large and with multiple things to climb on for kiddies.
- They had a pool and kiddie pool. Both are small, though.
- The game room is really nice! (see pics)
- Pizza and ice cream on site.
- Affordable laundry. $2.50 for wash and 50 cents for 8 minutes for the dryer.
- Clean and tastefully decorated bathrooms and showers.
Other:
- Pancake and sausage breakfast on the weekends for $6.50.
- A BBQ restaurant run by the campground.
- 40 minutes to Denver.
- Dog park.
Overall, not a bad experience, just not spectacular.
ScoutQuick 1 night stay, clean bathrooms, LOTS of pavement. Quiet hours start WAAAAY too early for an early fall Friday night.
