I'm told this is the oldest motorized campground in the US and the campsites reflect this. With lots help from the friendly work-camper hosts we were backed into a rare site in this tree covered mountain top campground with a open view to southern sky and the satellites we need for Internet and TV. If you're a big rig make sure you call ahead and reserve the site that fit your needs. We choose the South sky but gave up 50 AMP and sewer. Some have 50 Amp and a few have sewer but none have it all. The restrooms are brand new and the cleanest I've seen. We'll stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nicely wooded campground in the foothills about 30 minutes west of Denver. Although the address is officially Golden, the campground is very close to El Rancho-Evergreen (Walmart/Home Depot) and Genesee. Run by City of Denver and camphosts are experienced full-timers and very helpful. The campground is at 7,700' so temperatures are generally 8-10 degrees cooler than Denver. Very clean however some sites are not very level and highway noise from I-70 during rush hour can be heard. Access road to dump site is tight for larger rigs. $26/day, $156/week with water/electric, $1/day per pet. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed 1 night while traveling. The campground is easy off/on the highway. Very scenic. The only drawback is quite a few site are not level and very small. For 1 night it was fine. We may stay again only when traveling. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

As other reviews said, this is a well kept park and the managers are very cordial. There are full hookups, however because of the unique "first-come-first-served" situation they are always full. The uniqueness is that there are no reservations, and if you just show up you most likely won't get a space. You have to telephone the morning of the day you intend to show up, and there is a waiting list in most cases. You will then most likely be put in an electric only spot and you can then be on a waiting list for full hook ups when they open up. So, you need to decide if it is worth it if you aren't planning on staying a while. They raised the limit from 14 days to 30 days, so the "best" spots on the creek are always taken and you can plan on waiting to "rotate" into them if you stay long enough and are lucky enough. In all the spots you should plan on being only feet from whomever is next to you and in about half of the spots your backing skills will be tested due to the closeness and layout. Don't agree with the reviews who say big rig accessible. This would be rated an 8, 9 or even a 10 were it not for the closeness and how cramped it is. It is close to downtown, close to activities, very well maintained, convenient and the hosts are very cordial, but notwithstanding these attributes this is a very, very cramped park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here for the winter, so the rates above are averaged out based on our monthly rate of $575.00. This rate included a flat electric fee of $25.00, which came in handy as outside propane tanks aren't allowed. Although a commercial propane station is just down the road, we didn't want to have to pull out once a week to refill. Some weeks, because of snow that wouldn't have been feasible anyway. The management is awesome here. They are friendly and accommodating. And we love the location! It's right on a beautiful creek and walking path that either takes you down to the library, recreation center and downtown Golden which is very charming and picturesque, or the other way, through a nice wooded open space park. Within walking distance is everything you could need including a little natural foods grocery store, park, ball field, tennis courts, microbrewery with an outdoor patio, dry cleaners, museums, the Foss Liquor Store (although unfortunately the drugstore closed), post office, restaurants, a new bookstore, coffee shops, banks, and more. The recreation center is state of the art with an indoor pool, running track and climbing wall. They charge $5.00 a visit (with longer term memberships available). The lots are gravel, but most are level, there are two pull thrus, and there are plenty of trees. I thought the way they intersperse a pink gravel around the picnic table areas adds color and keeps it from being drab or looking like a parking lot. There are grassy spots, picnic tables by the creek, flower plantings and things are kept tidy. The shower facilities are a little old - I never had a truly hot shower - but they are cleaned daily and I've been in much worse! If you use the laundry note that two machines are $1.25 and the other two are $1.50. The pricier machines actually do not work as well. It can get noisy here - several tenants had horribly loud motorcycles and liked to rev them up for fifteen minutes and then circle the park. There was also a lot of work in the area with heavy machinery this year (they cleared out the creek to make it more habitable to trout). The park is pet-friendly. There are no dog parks within walking distance but there are stations with doggie bags along the trail and garbage cans for disposing. The park doesn't charge extra for a second vehicle and the last few months the WIFI was free. The only other drawback about this park is they don't take reservations. I understand that the summer is much busier and noisier. All in all we were very happy to have discovered Clear Creek - we'll definitely be back next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sites are a bit tight if you are over 40’, but the location and setting make it worthwhile. The park runs along a fast rushing stream that is quite popular with inner-tubing locals. It is also close enough to downtown to walk, an extra plus for those without available transportation. Well kept and clean, it is a park we will return to. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is not what it is advertised to be. It is on a busy street with no view. That said, the staff was very friendly and we were escorted into our site. The restroom/showers were clean and air conditioned. The park was clean and well maintained. We were in site A1 which was a back in site (they charge more for a pull thru) which was next to the street. We enjoyed the live band from the biker bar across the street and especially enjoyed the noise of the loud pipes as the bikers roared off into the sunset (or night). The music did stop at a reasonable hour, but the traffic noise did not. If you want to pay $40.00 a night for a tight space in a clean park this is the place for you. We will not return to this park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The sites don't give you a lot of extra space, and we are experiencing moderate to heavy noise from the road over the fence. The welcome was friendly, though, including escort to our site; the pool and lounge area look very nice and they offer some free refreshments. Having just come from rural, alcohol-free (or nearly) Utah, we enjoyed having restaurants and shopping near here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have been traveling for 5 weeks and this is, by far, the worst experience we have had. As our satellite dish is not working, we wanted to make sure we had cable. Unfortunately, the cable at Dakota Ridge is ghosty and snowy. The ad in Trailer Life and/or Woodal's indicates a view of mountains and city lights. When, in fact, it is located in an industrial area with the sounds of the 70 freeway and no view whatsoever! The sites are extremely tight for big rigs and sloped so egregiously that even our levelers won't help so, of course, our shower will not drain. We had booked our stay here for a week thinking it would be a nice hub to experience Colorado. As it is absolutely nothing as described in their ad after 3 days we inquired as to a refund if we left early. To our dismay there are no refunds!!! Once they get you in here, you're out of luck. Please, do not be swayed by the ad touting views and big rig friendly - they're not. After all the years of traveling in RVs this is the first time I have been compelled to write a review. Hopefully, my experience can save other travelers. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you're going there for a vacation, probably a good place to stay. Place was recommended to us by locals who vacation there. Not knowing the area, we must have taken the long way, because we drove a long time on two lane roads for what seemed like forever. I would not recommend it for an overnight on your way through the area. It was dark by the time we got there and we didn't see much of the park. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

If you like getting up in the mountains and camping in the forest, this is the place for you. Lots of space between sites , very quiet and well-maintained. It is a steep climb up the mountain from I-70 but the road is good. This is a great state park and a beautiful place to camp while you are exploring the Central City area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This state park is located within a one hour drive from the Denver area. There have been many site improvements in the last couple of years and the facilities (shower & laundry) are first rate. There are several tent camping areas that are located in a remote section of the park. The roads and the RV sites are all paved (not the tent camping areas). There are hiking trails galore and the mountain views are excellent. Since this is a state park it is patrolled regularly by state rangers (quiet & orderly atmosphere). Overall, this is a great place to stay near the Denver or Blackhawk area. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
