I need to spend a week in Denver in August. What are some of the best to better CGs?

Thanks - Good Sam is not working tonight.

What are you looking for? What part of town are you needing to be in? There are 2 state parks, Cherry Creek is on the south east side of town and Chatfield is South West. There is a campground in Golden that is owned by the city, small but pretty right along the creek. There is also Dakota Ridge in Golden, that is not to bad and can cater to larger rigs.

If you are familiar with the search function, Denver comes up fairly often ...FWIW

Dakota Ridge in Golden is my choice. It's convenient to the city for day trips.

Earlier post on campsites in Denver – hope this of some hope,



Few more options available

Clear Creek CG -- On 10th street in Golden you can take Rt 6 right to Town, about 15 miles door to door -- $28 for FHU you will need to call at 7:00 in the morning to see if they have a vacancy. Only have maybe 28 sites This is were I always stay it is right on the Creek and right in town.

Jefferson County Fairgrounds – If clear creek is full this is available with electric and water with a dump station actually this might be better as it is only 10 miles to Town large pull thru sites. -- $20 -- Just need to be sure nothing is going on at the arena maybe 60 sites. Stay here if you cannot get into Clear Creek near the big Mall for shopping and food, closer to Town.

Dakota Ridge is nice just not my style Very tight and almost right on the Highway. Plenty of sites in the off season -- $40 – couple miles from the fairgrounds -- 12 miles to downtown -- well kept place and all the people are helpful

Longmont fair grounds is a little far.

That’s all I know about, hope this helps,

Info I gave out earlier -- Hope this is of some help,

There is the Flying Saucer RV park on highway 285 (I think it's 285) near Federal and another around the corner on Federal. (can't remember the name).

Cherry creek is a very nice state park... close in to town.. near the park and ride station for the train to downtown. You didn't say when your trip was, but don't forget the Democratic National Convention starts on Aug. 25th... downtown will be a mess.

Busskipper said it in the order I would do it. We stayed at Dakota Ridge and it is nice but you do get a lot of road noise and there is a biker bar across the street that likes to share it's music with everyone.
