3785 Weld CR 24 1/2, Firestone, Colorado, 80504, United States

St Vrain State Park sits between I-25 and Highway 119, offering 87 campsites with full hookups, electric-only options, and concrete pads across 604 acres of prairie wetlands. Sites run $35/night and accommodate RVs up to 45 feet. The park delivers solid fishing, bird-watching, and trail access, though highway noise from the interstate carries across much of the campground.

$35.00 - $35.00 / night

Nestled in a vibrant wetland sanctuary along Colorado's Front Range, St. Vrain Campground offers spacious, level sites—many with concrete pads and full hookups—that make it an ideal basecamp for wildlife enthusiasts and travelers alike. While the convenient I-25 location means you'll hear some highway hum and feel the occasional prairie breeze, you're rewarded with exceptional birdwatching and sweeping mountain vistas that few roadside campgrounds can match.

Cherry Creek Campground

Cherry Creek State Park

Cherry Creek Campground sits on Cherry Creek State Park's 880-acre reservoir amid rolling prairie hills just outside the Denver–Aurora metro area. It is an urban-adjacent, heavily used campground offering a mix of lake recreation, paved trails, and RV-friendly sites with utilities reported at many sites.

Cherry Creek State Park

4201 S Parker Rd, Aurora, Colorado, 80104, United States

Cherry Creek State Park sits 15 minutes from downtown Denver, offering 125 campsites along an 880-acre reservoir at 5,597 feet elevation. Sites range from tent spots to full-hookup RV sites ($28-$41/night), with well-maintained facilities including showers, laundry, and a camp store. The park charges an $11/day vehicle entrance fee on top of camping fees. Highway noise from nearby roads carries into the campground, though spacious sites (some loops have 40 yards between neighbors) and cottonwood shade soften the urban proximity.

$28.00 - $41.00 / night
