Mountainside Camping

A great Colorado State Park. Concrete sites with tent areas. Campsites are spaced out really well. Full hookups at each site that look better than most dump stations. Wildlife in area: saw deers, wild turkeys, and signs for bears and cats. Recommend having bear spray if you hike the trails.

Beautiful spot. Highly recommend.

This spot was very very nice. It sits on the side of the mountain overlooking what seems to be the rest of the world. We're in the ADA site near the bathrooms and camper services which were also very clean. They maintain this place to a high level. There were several hiking paths that were dog friendly where we saw deer enjoying the lush greenery.

If you are in the area, try to snag a week or two as this area fills up fast.

Really Nice Camp

Stayed in the walk in tent sites on my way passing through the area. Plenty of room for your tent and stuff and lots of bushes in between spots for moderate privacy. No real shade though, that is the only negative I had.

Showers and restrooms were clean and stocked and it was a really nice stay and the park was very well kept.

It is a little pricey since you have to buy an auto day pass to the park as well as the camp site cost so if you are just going to camp and not use the trails or lake, there may be better options.

Beautiful!!

This was such a beautiful and peaceful campground! We were lucky to get there before dark so we could see everything. Nearby there is a military base that plays music in the evening and morning. Very easy to find our site and get setup. We loved it here!

Decent, nothing exciting here

Tent sites are down a short hill from the parking lot and bathroom. Tall scrub oak provides privacy from other sites. Depending on your site, folks will be walking by regularly. The military base plays bugles over loudspeakers in the morning and the evening, which was a surprise the first time we heard it. Gets unbearably hot on sunny days.

Would stay again in a heartbeat!

We stayed in Sept 2020

We were in site 31. This was a good site. It was more private than some (like 29 which was right off the path), but it was connected to a hiking trail so the random person would stroll by on the rare occasion. This site offers no shade, and no trees for a hammock (site 29 had some trees for a hammock). The provided bear box was a bit smaller than expected based on a previous trip to another Colorado State park. My VERY ROUGH estimate is that the box was about 3ft wide by 4ft deep.

Parking was okay, with an option of stairs to get to the campsites, or a small gravel path leading down to the sites.

The restrooms were amazing; they are in a small building, meaning the doors dont directly lead to the outside which means they were very clean. They weren't just pit toilets, there were two or three stalls with running flush toilets with sinks with running water and soap provided.

Quiet Campground

Nice clean park, no water or activities in the park except for hiking. Of the campgrounds at this park we drove through we liked this one the best, great view of the city
