Hike In Campsite

Campsites were nice and well established but pretty close to one another. Campsites 2/3/4 are all pretty close to each-other and you can hear the other sites. It’s a 0.5 mile hike in to the campsite, so plan and pack accordingly. Campsites are along a road (private access only). There was a trash can at the campground which was nice. Also bear boxes. A signed noted moose sightings.

Gorgeous Hike for Pampered Campers

Make reservations in person at Jeffco Open Space in Golden - those ladies are the best! Easy drive and a half-mile hike with moderate increase in elevation from parking to tent pads, numbered 1-5.

Campsite 1 is at the top, 5 is at the bottom, and in the middle of that row, there's a very clean outhouse, along with pre-cut firewood and non-potable water for campers' exclusive use! Bear boxes sit between each campsite.

The Park Ranger lives at the base of the trailhead and replenishes regularly. Didn't see him/her once while we camped there for 3 nights, and again, after a booked weekend.

Make reservations in advance, if possible! We were solo for our first stint there, and shared only one night with a quiet neighbor and his dogs we met at site 1 while we were at site 5; then the whole place was packed with friendly families the next week.

We saw deer all over the place, and heard reports of bear and/or lion sightings in previous years. Fire pits and tables are at every site, and there's plenty of shade! Sites 4 and 5 were our faves! Happy camping!

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Idylease Campground located and how do I get there?

Idylease Campground is located within Jefferson County Open Space in Colorado. To get there, you'll need to first make reservations in person at the Jeffco Open Space office in Golden. From the parking area, it requires a half-mile hike with a moderate elevation gain to reach the campsite area. The five tent pads are arranged in a row, with site #1 at the top and site #5 at the bottom. Be prepared for the short hike in by packing efficiently, as you'll need to carry all your gear from the parking area to your site.

Is Idylease Campground near Conifer or Lakewood, Colorado?

Idylease Campground is located in the Jefferson County Open Space area, which puts it in proximity to both Conifer and Lakewood, Colorado. The campground is more directly accessible from Golden, where the Jefferson County Open Space office is located. From there, it's an easy drive to reach the parking area for the campground, making it a convenient option for residents or visitors staying in the Lakewood or Conifer areas looking for nearby camping opportunities.

What amenities and facilities are available at Idylease Campground?

Idylease Campground offers five well-established tent pads numbered 1 through 5. The campground features very clean facilities, though amenities are basic as this is a more primitive camping experience. Sites 2, 3, and 4 are positioned fairly close to each other, which means you may hear neighboring campers. The campground is situated along a road that's designated for private access only. Since this is a hike-in campground (0.5 miles from parking), plan to bring all necessary supplies with you and be prepared for a more rustic camping experience without extensive on-site amenities. For exact facility details, contact Jefferson County Open Space.
