Barr Lake RV Park
Overview
Barr Lake RV Park provides a steady and peaceful home base for travelers visiting the northern stretches of the Denver metropolitan area. This park successfully bridges the gap between suburban convenience and the quiet charm of the Colorado plains. Whether you are navigating a cross-country trip or looking for a seasonal stay, the park focuses on a community-oriented atmosphere that makes every RVer feel at home. It is a reliable choice for those seeking a well-maintained environment near the water.

Located in the growing city of Brighton, the park is positioned perfectly for those who want to avoid heavy city traffic while staying close to the action. It is just a short drive from the entrance of Barr Lake State Park, where the scenery shifts to lush wetlands and cottonwood groves. The location provides quick access to U.S. Route 85, allowing for an easy twenty-minute drive into downtown Denver or a quick trip to the international airport.

The park is equipped with essential features to make any stay stress-free, including spacious full hookup sites that cater to both 30 and 50-amp requirements. To help guests stay organized and comfortable, the park offers on-site laundry facilities and clean, accessible restrooms and showers. Most sites are designed to be level and easy to navigate, with several pull-thru options available for those driving larger rigs. The pet-friendly policy ensures that your four-legged family members can enjoy the trip too.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor recreation is the star of the show here, with Barr Lake State Park offering an 8.8-mile trail perfect for hiking or cycling. The lake is a renowned destination for birders, specifically those hoping to spot the majestic resident bald eagles that nest in the area. Beyond the lake, visitors can explore the nearby wildlife refuges to see bison herds. For those seeking urban excitement, the park’s proximity to Denver means world-class museums and Mile High Stadium are always within reach.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideally suited for wildlife photographers and hikers who want to be first on the trails at sunrise. It also serves as a strategic stop for interstate travelers looking for a quiet alternative to noisy highway rest stops or expensive downtown hotels.

I’ve been here since Christmas and I love it here. They have nice bathrooms with showers. The laundry room is cool because you can pay for your wash with your phone. No more lugging quarters. It’s usually pretty easy to get a load in as in it’s not always being used. Trash is picked up pretty regularly and I think more than once a week. Kathy in the front office is the nicest lady and she’s always willing to help. Lot rent is very reasonable. Water and sewer included. If you have a rig that tends to bottom out, use the entrance closer to the light. It’s more flat. Make sure your registration is up to date on your vehicles as Brighton PD comes through regularly to verify that. They don’t come through for safety and security, they come through to issue tickets.

I love it here! Management is wonderful! There is a play area, showers and restrooms, and laundry facilities. The spaces are roomy, many have picnic tables. Would recommend!

Update # 2 Nov 2024 It's a great place to be if you have an Rv. Everyone pretty much stays to themselves. I've had a few invites to cookouts as well. Kathy runs the property as tight as a ship. The other day crews came through to level off the gravel roads. Still content with the property. Dont think I'll be leaving my spot any timesoon. Update: Its may 2024 and i still enjoy the place. Its still quiet. I had one issue and the universe took care of it. Yea so its nice. I fiujd out there was showers on the property and they are pretty clean I love it out here. Located in Brighton which is north of Denver. No better simple Rv park than here. Laundry room on-site 20 min from the airport. It's clean. water included. Lights are added to lot rent. Front office is very nice. I've been here 4 months and not really going nowhere else.
