Ok, here is my rant. Pay top $$$$ and get price gouged at the same time. Park is in the city. That’s fine, I knew that. So I don’t mind the sirens, traffic noise and lack of scenic views.

Ok, here is my rant. Pay top $$$$ and get price gouged at the same time. Park is in the city. That’s fine, I knew that. So I don’t mind the sirens, traffic noise and lack of scenic views.
Cost of the campsite was $41 a day plus you have to pay $11 for parking. Ok, I guess it’s a privilege to camp in the city. But then I went to take a shower and to my suprise it cost money to take a shower. 1.50 for 5min of water. What an insult! To pay $52 a night and then on top of it get insulted by having to pay for a shower. I’ve been through many states and camped at many state parks. Colorado and it’s elitist mentality just blows my mind. Do yourself a favor and blow right by this park. Better yet find a private campsite and give them your hard earned money instead of a state that doesn’t consider its residents or it’s visitors.

Not sure what it was, but this campground just felt weird to me. I didn't have hookups, and it felt a little more geared towards tent or pop up campers.
I don't know. I'd recommend Chatfield if you can get a site. Cherry Creek just wasn't it for me.

This state park is definitely a hidden gem in plain site! It is located in Aurora, just outside Denver, surrounded by the interstate but remains as peaceful and quiet as a park located miles away. Everything you may want/need is just a few minutes away. It has FANTASTIC biking paths, a beach on the lake, deer roaming freely through the campsites and a beautiful view of the mountains in the distance. We stayed on site 55 in the Pioneer Loop which was level with full hook ups, on a concrete pad, next to the bath house. It was a pull through off the side of the road as are all the rest of the sites in this loop. The state of Colorado requires an additional $80/year pass to any visit any State Parks and the interior roads here could use some TLC due to cracking in the pavement but those would be my only critiques. AT&T and Verizon both picked up very well.

This was one of the nicer places we stayed on our 21 day trip. All of the campsites here are spacious and clean and you will have lots of room between your site and your neighbors. Our campsite was a cement pad with a gravel area for our table and fire ring. This place is pretty busy, with lots of bicyclists and boaters using the park. It was not super busy when we were here mid-week. Staff were super friendly and you could tell they took very good care of this place. This is a fairly convenient location, being about a 20 minute drive from Denver when traffic is good. Would definitely stay here again.

Great easy backin site. The camp roads are nice and wide, built for todays rigs. So many parks we go to seem to be laid out for 60’s era pop up trailers. 3 deer in our site in the mornings. Fellow campers relatively respectful re: noise level.

Nice large and clean spaces, well maintained area, clean restrooms, friendly campground hosts. The entire area is busy and noisy over the weekends with local families camping, biking, hiking and fishing in the State Park. We have stayed in the Cottonwood Loop several times.

We had awesome views of the Rockies. Lots were leveled and very large. So much to do with hiking and walking on the frozen reservoir. Probably one of the best places we have ever stayed and already booking for the next time.

Let me start by saying that this park is lovely. It is basically an urban park right on the edge of the city but it doesn't really feel like it.

Let me start by saying that this park is lovely. It is basically an urban park right on the edge of the city but it doesn't really feel like it. Water, electric, and sewer at the pull-through site made it super convenient. Not much to dislike about this park...except the fees. When I booked the site on the Colorado park website I ended up paying $41/night. When I arrived, I was informed that there is an additional $9 per day park fee that had to be paid. Or we could purchase an annual pass for $80. We are not Coloradans and probably won't get back this year so we opted for the daily rate. I get the need to have a day fee for the parks. Maintaining these areas (which they do really well) is not cheap and I'm happy to pay that fee for day use. However, I choke a little on paying a day use fee on top of an already pretty strong daily camping rate for a state park. I'm not sure I would stay here again for $49/day but the park is very nice. I hope this doesn't make me sound too "curmudgeon-ey"...I'm really not.
