Cherry Creek State Park Campground

We booked 3 months in advance and could only get a no hookups site and it was 28 per day. The showers cost money and the no hookup campground was basically where the tents are. There were kids all over, screaming. We haven't stayed in the full hookup and maybe it's better but as of now Chatfield state park is much better. They also charge extra in addition to camping fee and the Colorado park pass you have to pay some water conservation fee. $28 seemed a lot for a site with no amenities. The site was barely wide enough for our rv and had trees on both sides. We put the tree in between the 2 slides. Not overly impressed. Just went to the lake by the dam and the swim beach. It was really gross. I would not swim in it.

This state park campground is conveniently located near Denver and offers great accessibility. The campsites are spacious and comfortable, which makes for a pleasant stay. It’s so popular that it gets fully booked every weekend. That said, the constant noise from street racers at night was a downside. The sink was clogged and unusable, and showers require a credit card payment of $1.50. Overall, I’d give a better rating to Chatfield State Park.

Amazing place to spend time with family and friends Lots of options here, fishing, water sports, grilling, relaxing on the shores , doing some camping, viewing wildlife, taking a sun bath , boat riding, playing volleyball, soccer, football 🏈⚽, everything. They have a huge space for kids and family to enjoy with drinks, food and playground You can bring your food and grill it here. Great place to have beech volleyball. Great Pluto plans a weekend, along with camping and everything.

A gem of a state park in the greater Denver metro area. Bathhouses are well looked after by a dedicated team of volunteers. Lots of road bikers, hikes and boaters.

A pleasant respite from urban Denver with lush foliage and a wonderfully large reservoir - but local road noise is still apparent for those seeking a true wilderness experience…but overall well worth the trade off! Clean and pleasant campground well maintained by a caring corp of campground hosts. RV sites with full hookups can be obtained via reservation and some loops have large mature trees for shade such as the Cottonwood Grove loop. The Gold Rush loop tends to be more of an open prairie environment with few larger shade trees. The marina will take you to the tropics with a sandy area and a beachside bar…while still in the Rockies. Currently you can’t get from west side to the east side of the park (or vice versa) due to road work being done but a quick hop on the Dam Road will take you there - but you have to leave the park so take your pass with you. Overall - wonderful and 100% Colorado.

July 6, 2024 Ashley and I met up with Bhuma, Isaac, and friends at Cherry Creek State Park Swim Beach for the day!

• Great campground for enjoying nature while still having close access to the city. It's located right across the road from the reservoir/beach with direct access to miles of trails for walking, running, biking, etc. and nice views of the surrounding mountains or grasslands. • Daily park admission is *not* included with your campsite, it is a separate fee. If you are staying 8+ days, just buy an annual pass. • In addition to the campground fee and park admission fee, there is also a separate Cherry Creek Water Basin daily fee. If you're staying 3+ days, just pay the annual fee. • Campsites are fairly flat with enough room to have some privacy. I believe each one is assigned its own magpie 🙂 Sites are close enough to the road to hear traffic throughout the day. • Paid showers ($1.50 for 5 minutes, credit card only) are available and are cleaned twice a day. • Paid laundry (starting at $1.50 a load, quarters only) is also available. Coin machine is permanently out of service, so you'll need to bring your own and washers/dryers are limited so don't go at checkout time like everyone else unless you want to wait. • Each time we have stayed the campground has been relatively quiet, but it is very popular so I highly recommend booking in advance (especially for longer stays or during peak season)!
