Overview

The park is characterized by its series of small, interconnected ponds, creating a quiet atmosphere perfect for those who appreciate scenic water views and easy access to nature right outside their camper door.
Location & Surroundings
Strategically positioned near the I-25 corridor, this park serves as an accessible base camp between Denver and Fort Collins.

Fire pits and picnic tables at each site invite guests to spend their evenings outdoors enjoying the crisp Colorado air.

Nearby regional parks also provide extended hiking and mountain biking trails for more active visitors.

This place was great, we had the best spot for our 45' fifth wheel, we even had a water view.Place was clean and well kept and was friendly. Two nights of fhu for $48 ... you can hear some road noise because this park is located next to everything but at night it was quiet and peaceful. Great spot to stay and only 20 minutes from the beautiful parks and Denver.Would absolutely visits this great find again.

Beautiful state park with beautiful lakes and ponds to fish and enjoy the only down fall is that you can hear the highway all day and all night other then the highway it's a rather quiet campsite with rangers patrolling regularly and an active site manager with all that said I definitely will be coming back for another camping trip

Nice place tucked away off I25 and 119. We've seen lots of birds and some wildlife here (including coyotes so mind your dogs!). Great views of Longs peak and usually quiet, though the campground seems busier. Lots of places to fish, bike and walk. Not as big or with as much seclusion as other places but it's a great, accessible option not far from home.

We were here in mid-March 2026. Having lived in Colorado most of my life I rather expected cold and snow. We came back for a March wedding. It's a dry year. It's a well maintained campground. There was a lot of road noise. The mosquitoes were crazy abundant (in March no less!!). There we're many people fishing but I'm not sure how much catching. Because there really aren't many choices for RVs closer to North Denver area this was a good place to get things done while back in the area.

Beautiful state park - close to highway so you do get some noise. Amazing bird watching opportunities. Lots of lake/pond side sites available. Large sites and well kept. Live to go here for a quick weekend away.
