ScoutHey everyone, just wanted to leave a little review about Golden Terrace, South. This is actually a nice campground with some very close together spots, but very quiet people for the most part. We’ve been here for two months and I’ve enjoyed it thoroughly . The shower house facilities is extremely well kept , and has reliable hot water. As for cost cost to park your rather high, I would encourage someone to mix this with Boondocking .
ScoutThis campground is exceptionally nice and the staff is amazing, but if you are in a tent there is a lot of noise pollution from the interstate and trains that come by at all hours of the night blaring their horns.
ScoutVery popular spot for ATVs so it was pretty loud the entire time we were there, but overall not too bad - ended up finding a spot further down the road which I think helped
ScoutJust a dirt spot, not very level, fire ring next to the rocky drop off. Extra dusty, people have dumped trash in the area be careful.
GuideSuper clean. Nice spacious sites FHU sites at a reasonable rate.
GuideVery nice quiet stay in the woods. All camp sites are very easy to get to and nicely groomed. Very pleasant stay. Got below freezing so be ready for the cold.
TravelerI loved this place! We had great views, it was a little on the colder side (May) with nights getting to 24, but the days where a cool, cloudy 50, which is a quite agreeable temperature in Colorado, even the native Texans we had visiting were warm with a sweater.
This is a great place to go, there are fire rings along rock creek road that where large. If you go into the trails, just know which trail you're on and look at a map!
We stayed down 129, it is essential that you have a high clearance 4x4/Truck to get back into those areas. There are dirt bikes and side by sides as well as 4 wheelers that ride through there but it is mostly a hunting area.
Camp at fire rings, and keep it clean, there are small creeks in the area you can find if you're willing to put in the walk! I will be going back here, again
TravelerLoved camping here! Campsites are spacious and all have a great view. Awesome spot to ride dirt bikes, side by sides, etc. I was the only one around camping when I was there. Super peaceful! The reservoir is 10 minutes away too which is great for fishing and paddle boarding.
TravelerSuper nice campsite, kind host, if you’re planning on fishing there just get ready for the river to be super crowded
