Boulder County Fairgrounds Campground

What I really liked is that you pay for the services you need.

A place to park $15 add water or electric +$5, both +$10. Yes, $15 is a bit high for a dirt pad, it is CHEAP compared with anything else in the area.

Our church had a mission trip in Longmont in July of 22. We NEEDED electric everyday, but water only once. So we only had to pay for water once. The dump is free if you are staying there.

Check out the video of our stay.

It is a convenient park but not in pristine condition. You do have the choice of no hookups, water or electric only, or both. The use of the dump station is included in your camping fee, even with no hookups. The limit is 14 days but some of the rigs looked like they had been there longer. The bath house was clean and open, but right now you have to get a code from a County employee. The employee is usually only around from 8:00 to 5:00. For us in our camper van, it was an inexpensive jumping off point for Rocky Mountain National park.

This a great option if you’re passing through the area and need a quiet location to plug-in. The camp grounds are next to the fair grounds. The camp grounds has nice clean restrooms, five private shower rooms, and a small kitchen area. There are also some walking trails near the campsite. The camp grounds has a dump station. The stalls are all first come first served but if they are full it appears that some people park in the fairgrounds parking lot area for overnight as well.

Others have already reviewed the sites and area, but I wanted to take a moment to point out the campground is next door to the local ASPCA. They have a vet clinic at the back of the building. They were great at getting our two dogs in for vaccine updates and updated paperwork to have while traveling. Another camper was able to stay while their dog was in the hospital for health issues. Many forums and groups discuss access to health care providers on the road, but I haven’t seen resource for pets, this was a wonderful opportunity, that others might need while traveling with pets.

We really like this campground a lot. It was perfect for our needs. It is at a great central location that provided a place to store our enclosed trailer and a pull thru for our 40 foot Super C. It has water and electricity at the site but a separate dump station that cost $10. We also have two pups so the fairgrounds provided lots of walking options for us, plus the three adjacent ponds with trails. Shopping and restaurants are very close by. There is a 2 week maximum per calendar year.
So for us it had all we needed for our stay here. Oh and if one needs showers and toilets the bathhouse was warm and clean with plenty of hot water.

This is a very cheap and very convenient location to stop if you need electricity and/or water, and it has a dump station. They also appeared to have showers (I saw some wet people). Self-service kiosk for paying for your space and services. Could be a decent stopover if you've got one of the spaces with a big shade tree and no neighbors, but we won't be staying here again unless we have no other option.

We stayed here in late September of 2021, during the heat wave.

As others have mentioned this isn't a "campground", it's an urban gravel parking lot with hookups. But for us, it's perfect as we're passing through. We've stayed here several times and there is a nice trail along the river if you want to get a leg stretch. All spots are level, interior roads are easy and there's a section for bigger rigs with pull-throughs. The advantage of urban is that there's a grocery and just about every other kind of store you can imagine nearby, including a self car wash with tall bays! Surprisingly quiet at night.
