Laverne M. Johnson Park

Stayed for one night while seeing Dead and Co. in Boulder. Campsite was clean, convenient and had full hookups. Sites are close to each other, but super easy if you are looking for something near Denver or just want to explore the cute town of Lyons. Everything is walking distance from campground. Host was super friendly and check in was easy.

This campground was pretty expensive for what it offered, but I feel like you’re mostly paying for location. On top of the $75 full hookup fee, showers cost an additional fee. The sites are in a gravel lot, but we had plenty of room in our sprinter van. The rv park is extremely well kept, bathrooms and showers are clean, and the access to the river, park, and town are wonderful. The host was super nice and helpful, and checking in was very easy. It’s only about a 30 minute drive to Estes Park, which was the super nice too. The town was great also! We’d stay here again!

Situated at the foot of the Rockies and the road to the greatest park in America - Rocky Mountain National Park. Lyons is a clean town with a great barbeque restaurant and bluegrass venue.

The RV park is situated in a beautiful city park. The park is amazing with stone walkways down to the creek, modern picnic shelters, and a playground. The RV park is a large gravel parking lot with boards separating the lots. The spaces are very tight though I could put our my awning which was close to my neighbor's rig. The problem is when you open the windows you are right next to the other two rigs to hear them talking or running their AC. The spot was level with 50 AMP, water, and sewer, but I think $50 a night is expensive for these small spaces in a gravel parking lot.

The campground itself isn’t much to write home about—just a gravel parking lot with zero landscaping. However, the park it sits in is fantastic. It’s surrounded by beautiful mountains and a river runs through it with really cool man made rock seating areas along its banks. It’s walking distance to town, which is super cute, and about a mile from great single track. We really dug the town, the people and the whole vibe! Would definitely recommend!

There are very few commercial campgrounds in Boulder County. If the selection were greater, this would remain our preferred spot. The campground was rebuilt after a major flood in 2013 is wonderful. The location provides excellent access to The Town of Lyons, Estes Park and the Peak to Peak Highway, and to Boulder as well.

While the sites are smaller and ignite present issues with larger rigs, and the services could have a more ideal location, those pale in comparison to its location, ambiance, and the Hosts and Town staff who manage it.

We are full time travelers, but Boulder County was our home before we hit the road. When get to Lyons, we really do feel home again in so many ways.

I’ll start with the town of Lyons is wonderful! The area around the campground is great, with the river being there really nice, and the host are fantastic and friendly.
Ok, whomever designed the campground had never camped before!!!!!
The spots are so close that when you pull in and make sure your slide is in your site, there is 4.2 feet between your RV and the next persons slide!
The water and sewer hookups are in the very back corner of the site so if your hookups are in the front like mine and my neighbor, we had to buy extensions. I don’t know who designed it, but they have never camped before!
You have to get out and open a gate going and coming every time so if it’s hard to get in and out of your rig it might be a pain.

This RV park is absolutely beautiful. There is a really nice path that circles the park for walking humans or pets. There is no dog park, but there are plenty of trails in the area to take your pet hiking. The park is nicely situated within walking distance of downtown Lyons, CO. From the park you can walk to shops, restaurants, and even a bike store.

The sites are tights...not much room to spread out. We didn't even let out our awning. Parking is free - up to 2 vehicles. We had a full hookup 50 amp site.
