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.

We stayed two weeks and really enjoyed this park. There are only a few (four I believe) full hook up spots - ask if you want one. They charge a little more but worth it if available. We have a bigger rig and trying to manage the winding steep roads around to the dump station were a little harrowing. They also offer blue boys for use. It's beautiful and shady but it is isolated. You can't walk anywhere and we didn't even find any trails within walking distance. Just dirt roads winding up the mountain. Bears were spotted while we were there. During the week it is quiet, but like most city or state type parks gets very noisy on the weekends. One weekend they had a religious army of some sort or the other preaching late with a megaphone (until 9 when it is quiet time). Across the road is a nice inclined meadow with a walking path mowed in a circle - it was a good place to walk the dog. The showers are very clean - but they are coin operated. I found .50 usually was enough for an enjoyable hot shower. There are no laundry facilities. There is no WI-FI and my Verizon broadband phone and internet access was very spotty and weak. The on site managers were all nice and helpful. And a nice bonus for birdwatchers are all the hummingbirds that are attracted to the feeders they keep outside the little office. I didn't see any pull-thru spots, but they might have had a few. Overall this was a nice quiet area to stay and we enjoyed it. We'll stay there again when traveling through although probably not as long simply due to lack of things to do without a car. Just make sure to bring lots of books and catch up on your reading! We camped here in a Motorhome.

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.

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.

Big clean RV park. Was told when booking we would have a pull thru, we ended up with a very small tight back-in. This place is advertised to have level concrete pads. We have a very uneven asphalt pad. Supposed to have cable, our site does not have a hook-up for cable. Free Wi-Fi for those that sit in a particular direction with the wind blowing the right direction. Will not stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

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.

"Resort", what a joke. Nothing resembling a resort in any form. Pull throughs are very narrow. Most of the campers are permanently based and in poor condition. Parking is limited to an area away from your site. The dog run is at the end of the park and unless you choose an uneven lot at the end, you will have to walk. Signs e
