You would never know you were in the middle of Denver staying in this park. It is an oasis of nature in the middle of a sprawling suburban city. The campsites are pretty well spread out and very well maintained. They even have two laundry facilities on-site which was an unexpected surprise. There is a large trail system that runs through this park that looked pretty amazing from all the bikers we saw passing through (we were working and didn’t get to partake).

It's kind of hard to remember that this park is in the middle of the city. It's large and there is a lot of green space. One of our favorite things was the HUGE (107 acres) dog park.

It's kind of hard to remember that this park is in the middle of the city. It's large and there is a lot of green space. One of our favorite things was the HUGE (107 acres) dog park. It's $2 a day/$20 annual to use it, but if your dogs like to run off leash, they will be so happy. In early summer, Cherry Creek is running through it and the dogs can play in the water. When we came back at the end of July, the water had mostly dried up.
We bounced in and out of this park four times and stayed in different loops. Here are my thoughts:
- Site 29 in Coyote Loop was my favorite by far. The view out my window was prairie and the neighbors felt very far away.
- In general, the outside spaces feel more private. The inside pull-thrus still give you space, but you're open to everyone. Site 54 in the Pioneer Loop was my least favorite because of this.
-Site 146 in Buffalo Loop is right against the entrance road. I was very surprised to find it very quiet and private. They built up the berm to separate you from the road and it's rather nice. You don't have much yard, but you feel secluded.
-Buffalo Loop also gives you quick access to the paved trails (near site 142) for riding your bike or walking the dogs. If you turn left on the path and go across the street, you can walk right to the swim beach.
- Site 97 in the Gold Rush loop feels nice and secluded in the yard. There's a tree that shields you from the sun and onlookers. The only downside is that you're at the opposite end of the park from the trails.
There is a nice laundry room and pay showers. Bring soap into the restrooms to wash your hands.
There's a lot of stuff in this park that we didn't even get to do or see. I'd go back if I needed to be in Denver. It's also convenient to the airport.
Also, the main entrance on Parker can get VERY crowded on Sunday afternoon when it seems like everyone is trying to get in. We had to wait 30 minutes or more a couple of times. There is another entrance on the Northwest side of the park (Dam rd). You have to drive all around the park to get to the campground, but if you don't want to sit around, it's worth it.

This state park is an urban oasis in Aurora, Colorado. It is not cheap, the full service site we had was $26.00 plus a $10 reservation fee (ReserveAmerica) plus a $9 day use fee that was paid at the park entrance. The campground was full the night we visited (a Tuesday) and the friendly host told us that it was full every night during the season. Our site was a long, level, paved pull-through. The park has a large, modern restroom/shower facility and it has in-park wifi that was not operational when we visited. Biking is big in this park with trail access to the city.
This is a great park to stay in when visiting the Denver area. You are on the edge of the city so there is a lot of traffic outside the park but the camping areas are a distance away from the access roads.

There are places to walk along the lake and lots of places to ride bikes if you are into that sort of thing. There is some traffic noise at night but it's in the middle of town, that is to be expected.
Tips: take hand soap if you use the public toilets. The facilities are clean but they never have soap.

Total stay includes visits in the past three years, other sites included numbers 92 and 141. The park has a fourteen day maximum stay. State parks in Colorado require each vehicle to have a valid parks pass for each day, passes are $9 daily or $73 annual, we paid annual for a two week stay. If you tow a car, don't unhook prior to entering or they will charge each vehicle the entry fee (!!!) - not negotiable!
It's a lovely state park located in southeast Denver. The park has hiking trails, multi-use trails that allow bikes and horses, road and mountain bike trails, a reservoir (with a beach), and a huge natural dog off-leash park (additional $2 daily or $20 annual). There are great views of mountains in the distance and deer and coyote are seen frequently. The reservoir is home to much birdlife including bald eagles.
There are multiple loops, we've stayed in the Gold Rush loop twice and the Buffalo Loop once, both full hook-up with sites available for large rigs. There are some fabulous corner sites with nothing but nature on the living area side.
There are Sprouts and Albertson's grocery stores, and Starbucks within ten minutes of the park and lots of restaurants, banks and many other services within 30 minutes. It's a good location but about 25 minutes from the city center on the highway.
