Boyd Lake State Park Campground

We stayed at Loop D - 102
Sites leveled, pull through, electric only but with water spigots nearby. Dump station available.
Restrooms available at every other loop - clean but full of cob webs.
Main building has a laundry which accepts cards via an app - that was super cool.
Great paved trail for walking and biking by the lake.
Great cell coverage!!!
Water level was low so you had a bigger beach to play with.
My other complaint is that the placed was not being well looked after. What was supposed to be grass, was all weeds. Some overgrown. It's a shame.
Book early, this is a busy state park at the weekends. Sites at the edge of the loops get reservoir views!

We stayed for a week on site 112 Loop E and I was extremely glad that there was a large shade tree on the site. The tree was on one end of the site and the electric was on the other end, so I had to use an extension to reach the pole and take advantage of the shade. The site had no water, but there is a spigot on 113 that was within easy reach. Bonus! The site was level and we didn’t have any issues with the electric. The weeds were pretty high while we were there and the didn’t mow. Perhaps they are short on help? There is a nice bike path and a lake. We will return!

We came off of boon-docking for a couple of weeks so we needed to restock food, dump tanks, do laundry and eat out! This State Park served our needs.

PROs:
* Clean for such a large park. Plenty of dumpsters for trash and our site had electric, which helped out on the hot days;
* Sites are level and easy pull in;
* Nice paths to walk and bike and some of them went along the lake;
* We enjoyed doing all our needed shopping in Loveland, a lovely large town!

CONs:
* Sites are close to each other and not all shaded with trees;
* The daily park entrance is steep ($10/day) but we had purchased an annual pass before we started touring Colorado;
* This is a LARGE campground so typical noisy (music, partys, etc).

Some sites have no shade but ours did (#10).
The Boyd lake front range trail runs right by the campground. Very handy for walking and biking.
Oddities:
All of the sites have electricity but no water or sewer.
The water spigots in each loop have hose bib attachments and you can fill your rig at one of those before you park but you shouldn’t leave a hose connected to them.
Since there is no sewer connections the two dump stations get really crowded near checkout time.

Been docked at Boyd Lake many times since March of this year....Weekends are very crowded for Summer with a lower head count during the week.
It is a smaller Lake with good bike trails....Very bothered by reservation incident RE my RV space reservation last Sat. 6-26. I had spot booked for 5 days in F loop.. I have been in RV since last March so have to keep a reservation log on my legal pad...
I got arrival date mixed up and came in 12 hours early at night Sat. Night.
There was an RV in my space so I pulled in to one next to it which was vacant.
I was tired, so decided to wait until daylight to sort it out. Well, at 8:30am Yogi and BooBoo were pounding on my door. They addressed me by name,so I knew it was personal. I was informed that the space I was in was not available, and was kept Vacant for Park reasons?????
I pulled my phone off charger and checked CPW reservations site for my date......well it was Sunday not Saturday arrival for me and the people in my spot would be leaving in a few hours. I apologized for my error, and for sitting in the vacant space next door to it.....
Ranger Mallory Badge #6096 immediately announces I committed a "NO RESERVATION" violation and would not give any leniency for my unintentional day error.....He commenced to write a fu----- ticket to me citing it was "Unlawful overnight camping w/out a valid use permit!!!"
Even though I was a little early and had a 5 day reservation! POS.
These jerks and their Supervisor are Jellystone Tyrants and the Div. Of Parks and Wildlise needs to fire these assholes.
The ticket was a $181.50 Fine!
The 50c really hurts. WTF.
Watch your dog! I am sure pooping is expensive!
I will never be back to this Red Army Outpost.

Stayed here for 4 nights (Sunday-Thursday). Price does not include $10/day entrance fee. Sites are very spacious, maybe 40ft wide by 60 long and there is not a bad site that we can see. Bathrooms are cleaned daily and have coin operated showers. Sites only have electricity 50amp. Water fill up is available in many several locations. Our water fill up was in front of our space, which I recommended for convenience purposes. Dump stations are available for use. But we can go a week without dumping and longer if using their clean facilities. I rather stay here then and RV park (Loveland RV) because of the Lake, walk/biking paths, spacious, feel safe and quiet. Park is regularly monitored by state park officers. We have antenna tv with amplifier and was able to pick up over 60 local channels. Cellular for both major provider was sufficient as we both still work full time.

Need to stay in the area for a week during COVID. Wanted a place away from a lot of people. The playground was nice and had little use by other kids since the campground was only about 10% full (if that) with few other families. I will agree with other reviews about the value, especially in November. It was only $36 for the reservation, but an additional $10 per night for park entrance. Full hookup sites with WiFi nearby were only a couple dollars more, but would have had a bigger crowd :-(. During normal camping season and in normal times, I am sure this would have been quite the spot to be!
