Your RV deserves a smarter co-pilot

Lovely campground with very easy access to the state park’s trails, Nederland and Black Hawk. The bathrooms could have been cleaner and supplied with hand soap. A change machine in the laundry room would have been helpful also.

First off the camp host is great. Need more like him. The campground itself is very well maintained. What no one has told you is the non-stop trains that go by on one side and the freeway on the other. We counted at least 10 trains throughout the night that unfortunately had to blow their horn for a road crossing. And then throw in the freeway noise and it made for a very restless night.

What a great find. We called and were told it’s a first come first serve campground with pull throughs that have power ( 30 & 50 amp) and water. The first night is free after that it’s only $20. Our site was mostly live and it’s was a concert pad with grass on side with trash can. Ballgame was going on and it was busy after the game we were the only ones here so it was very quiet. Great site thanks to the town for this gem thank you for your hospitality 👍.

It is interesting how everyone has had a different experience at this campground. We arrived mid-afternoon on a Thursday, several open sites. All sites but one or two are along the river. We chose site 1 because it was on the end, didn’t have a gravel pad, but that didn’t bother us. Just meant that no one was on the other side of us except for the road to the campground, which wasn’t busy. We were on our way to Canada and needed a place for the weekend and wanted to Elkhorn State Park. They have fenced off the 2 large grassy area (which the pic on Campendium doesn’t show), I’m assuming because they don’t want people driving and parking on them. Our rig is fairly long, almost 50’ w/truck & trailer. Was too busy looking at sites and almost didn’t make it around the loop portion of the campground without clipping the fence with my trailer.. Didn’t swing wide enough. Made it without backing, but it was close. So, be careful. To access the river easily we entered behind site 2, which is what several people did, so that site would not be my first choice though if I had kids it probably would be, nice flat water there. People are disgusting and especially when there is no trash service. We went down to the river with our dogs and they found a used Kotex! What is wrong with people. It’s not that difficult to pack out your trash and plan accordingly for personal hygiene! Also pick up your dog poop. That’s what poop bags are for. If you have a dog be responsible. They have a machine to make payment by CC with a small service fee or you can fill out an envelope and pay cash. Any more we prefer the convenience of a card. It is a BLM campground so if you have a Parks Pass it is half cost. No garage can, pack it out!! Boulder is only three miles down the Hwy. No amenities except for a parking pad, table, fire pit and pit toilet. There is no water (no hookups), no garbage pickup. The Hwy noise during the day is continuous and loud. It slows down at night but it is still noticeable when you have to leave windows open for cooler air. It was 90’s during the day and didn’t cool that much at night. The hwy is directly across the river. The river is very low, so no “muffling” the Hwy sound by the river. Also when we arrived, there is a gun range across the river and there was, almost, a continuous round of rifle fire for a couple of hours. On a Thursday, the last camper pulled in at midnight, then it was full for the night. Several if not all the sites are long enough for rigs to pull in and not unhitch if spending one night (depending on length). We could have at 50’ (there was a lot more room to back), but were staying 3 nights.
