"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."
"The elite spots are spaced out more and have paved patios with propane fire pits and Adirondack chairs. Spots are level and make set-up easy."
"Propane fire pit looks nice but could not use. Must have a 20 pound tank. Store was closed as we arrived at 5 pm.
Train and traffic noise as expected for location. Lot of stuff for kids."
from $50 - $170 / night
"Currently they don't have day-use open, so there's plenty of space at the lake to set-up and spend the day playing with the kids."
"You could only use the lake if you had existing reservations so it was pretty open and empty. The sites were well spaced out and there was plenty of space for tents and vehicles."
from $40 - $120 / night
"This wasn't the campground we were supposed to stay at, but our spot was not ready, so we were able to stay here while we waited."
"Trash dumpster. Peaceful and perfect for relaxing. Lovely views, and did I mention you can just walk all over in the river?"
from $24 / night
"Most, if not all sites, have a picnic table and fire pit. During reservable season (Memorial Day to Labor Day I believe), the campground host usually has firewood for sale."
"The river running by, the accessible toilets and fire pits are a nice touch. This is the time of year to enjoy the place to yourself and chill your beers in the river. Highly recommended!"

"There were no envelopes for the sites when we arrived but we made it work. This spot fades the river and is flat. It looked like a few of the spots would be an issue with a bigger tent."
"It should be noted the higher up sites are right on the road, and the ones closest to the river are by no means far enough to deafen the road noise."
from $24 / 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."

"Super close to Denver and offered through the City of Lakewood. The sites are for tent/RV and have electric hookups. Beautiful area."
"Super friendly staff. The Bad: Day use Denverite humans on bicycles who run their mouths as the peddle past. (Get a job, Chad)."
from $34 - $40 / night
RangerBathrooms were very nice and clean. Lots of sites with minimal privacy. Pretty packed and noisy in October. Our site had electrical hookups and its own water. Picnic tables and fire rings available as well. Looks like a very family friendly campground. Stayed one night.
ScoutLake Wellington is a beautiful family and dog friendly campground just about 90 minutes from Denver. There are 75 sites, and even when it's pretty full they are decently spaced out that you don't feel too on top of other guests. We brought our dogs and a group of friends and had a great few nights, even seeing Bald Eagles mating!
TravelerIf you are going to camp at a lakefront spot definitely have something you can sit in else you will be attacked by flies. Super quiet during the week - got busy over the weekend.
GuideOur Campsite was nice, very clean and well kept. It did seems like the sites were a bit to close together and every spot filled. Pads were level, area around the picnic table spacious. Pit toilets were clean. The dump station was very nice and easy to use. We were driving down through Colorado to view the Fall Aspen leaves. I wish we would have stayed longer at this campsite. We stayed at the Conifer Ridge loop site 46 ...
LegendGreat view of pikes peak. Located between woodland park and colorado springs this place is a good launch pad for mountain adventure. Its on a hillside directly facing the mountain, directly off the highway. The good thing about that is hwy 24 chills out alot at night so there wont be a ton of road noise. The downside is it can get busy in the morning and afternoon so pulling out directly onto the highway with a big rig could be a challenge
LegendThis place is right in woodland park under the shadow of pikes peak. Quick access to food shopping and supplies. You have the choice of little cabins or standard motel rooms. If you head out the back of the parking lot you can walk around woodland park and see the deer in town. Cool location
LegendSmall place right off hwy 24 at the base of the mountains. Coffee place across the street and an auto parts store out front, not a bad combination for an RV park. Ita pretty much just a gravel lot but there are some trees. Not a bad stop but not a destination
LegendClean place right in town but has a woodsy feel to it has decent amenities and feels really safe. Its close to town whixh is great if you need any supplies or just need to get something hot to eat. Great apot in Woodland park decent 5g cell signal
LegendIt looks like this place has turned into a tiny house community there are a couple small RV spots but mostly its been overtaken by what looks like long term tiny homes nice place tho
Glamping sites near Louviers, Colorado are concentrated in the Front Range foothills between 5,800-8,000 feet elevation, where pine forests meet open meadows. Most luxury camping options operate seasonally from late April through mid-October, with some year-round accommodations available during mild winter periods. Winter temperatures can drop below freezing at night even at lower elevation sites.
Fishing access points: The South Platte River offers multiple fishing spots at Platte River Campground, where you can wade directly from campsites. "I went in mid Oct so off season and there was only 2 other campers in the campground. I chose site #8, furthest away from the parking area but also more trees," notes one visitor who appreciated the off-season solitude.
Paddle sports: Non-motorized water activities are popular at Castle Mountain Recreation Area where boat traffic is limited. "Great place to take the camper and kayaks. Kayaking, SUPs, fishing, hiking," shares one visitor who enjoyed the quiet water access for multiple water activities.
Hiking options: Trails range from easy loops to challenging climbs, with Lone Rock Campground serving as a riverside base for day hikes. A camper mentions, "Cozy campground close to Denver...sitting along the banks of the South Platte River, this site features on site toilets, campsite host, and quick access to the water for fly fishing or just dipping the toes in."
River access: Many campsites at Ouzel Campground place you steps from water. "Right on the river, exactly as I hoped. Backed my car up to the barrier and had a lovely time. Outhouses. Trash dumpster. Peaceful and perfect for relaxing. Lovely views, and did I mention you can just walk all over in the river?" one visitor reported.
Clean facilities: Campground maintenance gets high marks at most locations. A visitor to Bear Creek Lake Campground noted, "Nice big sites, open space without a lot of trees, beautiful views, clean restrooms, showers (pay for) water fill stations, dump station, several restrooms."
Tubing opportunities: The gentle current near some campsites makes for safe water play. A Lone Rock visitor shared, "We were able to tube on the river and we were at site five so we had direct access to the river as well. Just as a heads up this is a walk in site, but your cars aren't parked very far away."
Reservation requirements: Book 6 months ahead for premium sites during summer weekends. "Wellington Lake was nice and clean in early May...Campground is usually fully booked all season. Reservations can be made six months out. Two week limit," a regular visitor advises.
Day-use policies: Some campgrounds limit non-overnight visitors or charge separate day-use fees. "If you want to get into the Park, suggest you go EARLY, EARLY, EARLY in the day. Traffic backs up all the way from the Entrance on Parker Rd to the Entrance Booth on weekends and holidays. Plan on an hour OR MORE to just get to the booth," warns one Cherry Creek State Park visitor.
