Driving north on the 40 from I70 is pure joy, but there is no warning for the turn-off and it’s easy to miss it. Great sites, loud truck noise, and unparalleled stargazing.

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Camping opportunities around Louviers, Colorado range from developed state park campgrounds to dispersed sites on public lands. Chatfield State Park Campground, located approximately 10 miles north of Louviers in Littleton, offers full hookup sites for RVs with 50-amp service, tent camping areas, and well-maintained facilities. The region also includes the Buffalo Creek Recreation Area with free dispersed camping and the Indian Creek Recreation Area with both equestrian and standard camping options. Several campgrounds support mixed camping styles, with Jellystone Park at Larkspur providing glamping accommodations and yurts alongside traditional tent and RV sites.
Most developed campgrounds in the area remain open year-round, while dispersed camping areas like Buffalo Creek and Rampart Range typically experience seasonal restrictions during winter months due to snow and access limitations. Several campgrounds require advance reservations, particularly during summer weekends when water-based recreation draws crowds to Chatfield Reservoir. Road access varies considerably, with state park campgrounds featuring paved roads suitable for all vehicles, while dispersed sites often require higher clearance and occasionally 4WD capability. Weather patterns in this foothills region can change rapidly, with afternoon thunderstorms common during summer months. A visitor noted, "We stayed in Loop A with full hookups, about 1/4 mile from the marina. Privacy was excellent, barely visible to the neighbors on the next road and far enough separated from our NextDoor neighbors."
Campground reviews consistently highlight the balance between natural settings and proximity to urban amenities as a key advantage of camping near Louviers. The panoramic mountain views at many campgrounds receive frequent praise, with several visitors mentioning the Front Range vistas as highlight features. Sites with water access are particularly sought after, especially at Chatfield State Park where boating, paddleboarding, and swimming are popular activities. While some campers appreciate the convenience of being near Denver, others mention highway noise and crowds during peak summer periods as potential drawbacks. As one camper observed, "This campground will always hold a special place in my heart. The campground and facilities were remarkably clean. The other guests were quiet and friendly and the views are spectacular."

Beautiful, peaceful
Mid July and no one here. Incredible. The Switzerland trail is in pretty rough shape though, you can definitely make it out if you have AWD, but I almost got stuck on the way in thanks to the overlanding trailer I’m pulling. Be very certain about which site you decide to head to, don’t spend two hours inching your way around one tree like I did.

Redskin Creek Rd Designated Campsite
Beautiful
Many large sites. Some flatter than others.. site 15 had 2 bags of garbage stuffed in the pit. Including bread, jelly and tampons. Such a joy to clean up.

Very busy, friendly, campground
Staff were absolutely amazing and accommodating. Free coffee in the AM was a big plus. They’re making improvements and are open to making your stay they best possible. We had a tent and RV site that were close to each other-ish. Not many bathrooms that a lot of people share would be only downside.

Rampart Reservoir Dispersed
Bumpy and windy
The road coming into this site was very washboardie if you know what I'm talking about. I try to find a different line but it was just very rough road. I got here about 7:00 and although there are many spots here I sleep in the back of my pickup truck so I wanted a level spot. It was hard to find a level spot. I know that the site can't do anything but the wind but it was extremely windy. But that's okay it's private and there's plenty of space here.

Forest for days
Great time! $26/night for a car; CASH ONLY! Great pit toilets. Trash is available. First come first serve. Plot 6 is the best for larger groups/multiple tents.
The entire road is paved up until the turn into the campsite area. Well maintained dirt road easy for a 2wd car. 1 cattle guard at the entrance.

Cross Creek Campground — Eleven Mile State Park
Quiet Water Front Site
This site is right on the water with a beautiful view. It was a great spot for fishing and launching a paddle board. The wind picked up for about an hour right before sunset as it does at these reservoirs but the night was still and silent. It was a beautiful stop and we will be returning.

Gordon Gulch Dispersed Camping II
Great spot close to the Front Range!
Came up on Friday 7/10 about 4pm, F150 with a 23' TT. Roads are rough, but I saw a few sedans pass our spot. The numbered campsites nearest to the entrance were all full when we got there, but if you drive into the NF there were plenty of spots despite it being busy. People pouring in looking for camping past 9, tho. It did seem to clear out again Saturday morning, this area makes a good quick 'get out of the city' spot. Sheriff was doing rounds and giving tickets for campfires and checking ATV's, so it felt safe. Absolutely beautiful views, you forget you're only an hour or so from Denver.

Nice spot
Multiply pre-camping in the area or spring fall close to biking and hiking trail that you can take a free on the way into town during the day. They also have on Friday and Saturday night after four free ride to the Lodge at the top.

What to do

Not whistler in terms of terrain but plenty of trails for various ability levels," notes a visitor to Buffalo Creek Recreation Area.
Water recreation: Visitors can enjoy swimming, fishing, and paddleboarding at various reservoirs. "Chatfield is such a great park; I've spent so much time biking, kayaking, paddleboarding, spending time with family. The dog park is by far the best. Off leash- so much room; well taken care of and big lake for the dogs to swim," reports a camper at Chatfield State Park Campground.
Equestrian facilities: Several campgrounds accommodate horse riders with dedicated facilities. "My folks bought property you can ride to Indian Creek from. Love this area! Lots of beautiful trails, close to Denver and very peaceful. Bring your ponies, its an equestrian campground!" shares a visitor to Indian Creek Equestrian Campground.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the separation between camping areas. "We went up for a quick weekend trip and it was perfect, lots of campsites along the road and not too close together. The road was decent to drive on a few bumps but nothing crazy. The sites were clean and well maintained," reports a camper at Rampart Range Recreation Area.
Proximity to urban amenities: The convenience of being near Denver while still feeling removed from city life. "We stayed here for one night before heading back out on the road. This place is huge and has many amenities. It's very well maintained. The bathrooms were very clean and the showers were pay only and only with a bank card. $1.50 for a five minute shower," notes a visitor to Cherry Creek State Park Campground.
Fire regulations: Established fire rings are available at most developed sites. "We researched the spots in this area, and were surprised at how far spread the sites actually are. I had eyeballed site 83 and hoped we'd get to it. We arrived Wednesday morning and realized it was too far in than we would've liked so we landed at site 33 and it was AMAZING!" reports a camper at Rampart Range Recreation Area.
What you should know
Weekday vs. weekend availability: Most dispersed camping spots fill quickly on weekends. "Very nice pull in campsite near a ton of trails. It was pretty busy, though, on a Tuesday. Also, it was $23/night. Be sure to pass all the private property signs - they only apply to the sides of the road! Pets must be leashed," advises a visitor to Indian Creek.
Noise considerations: Some camping areas experience significant noise from nearby recreation. "Way too many people and the boat traffic was awful," mentions a camper at Cherry Creek State Park Campground about summer weekend conditions.
Weather preparedness: Afternoon thunderstorms are common during summer months. "Indian Creek is lush and wooded, while still being close to Denver. The drive in is easy, following a paved road most of the way. Great spot for car camping," notes a visitor describing typical conditions.
