Let’s start out with the good. The have fast, free internet. OK, now to the bad. First, the campground is very close to the interstate. Upon arriving, we were greeted quite rudely by the lady running the front shack (i.e. office). After paying extra for kids and pets (a first!), we were allowed to proceed to our site. What a mess of a campground. Apparently, the person designing the campsite layout and the other person designing the utilities didn’t meet before construction began. I kid you not, our dining room window was not more than 3 feet from the king-pin of the fifth-wheel parked next to us. What a great view! Luckily, the voltage eventually came up to above 108V so that we could switch the fridge back over to electric with the A/C running. No way could we run the electric water heater. Our utility pole was right in front of the neighbor’s door. Depending on the site you get, you may need an extra sewage hose and extra electric cord. Our neighbor’s sewage was in the same place as ours. Remember, their kingpin is at our dining room window. Talk about a long sewage run. The sites are not very level and obviously quite narrow (our slideout came within about 12 inches of our neighbor’s trailer!). In fact, I had to use 4WD to back up into our site. The grass was literally 4 feet tall. I guess we should have known things would not work out when we had to sign a form stating that we had read and understood the rules, which was a first for us. Apparently, this park is operated by the city. If you check out my previous reviews, you will see that I typically don’t give such a poor rating. However, this park deserves it… what a disappointment! We will never stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

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.

A nice place to stay in Golden. The spaces are tight, but the park is clean. The manager (Dave) is very helpful. Call at 7 AM the day you want to get in to get on the waiting list. Dave will call you back if he has a spot available. There is excellent wifi. There were some mosquitoes at dusk. I would definitely stay here again. 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.

Nice facilities and RV sites. The owner is disputing with the cable company so we had over the air TV only. The hot tub was out of service for the winter. Staff is friendly and helpful. Nice office, game room, store/gift shop, LPG, and laundry was reasonably prices. We felt that it was overpriced in comparison to other parks. Even though we stayed a week we only received a 10% Good Sam discount. Most other parks give you a day free if you stay a week. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

There are not many choices of parks for big rigs in the Golden area. Dakota Ridge was nice, sites were "buddy" sites with front doors of the rigs facing, but we did not mind that. There is grass between sites, not as nice as the immaculate landscaping they advertise but there is grass. Our site was on a hill and a large section of the grass was dead and our picnic table had no flat area to sit so we could not use it. Our site was in a quiet area of the park and we were happy with the location. My problem with this park is they charge extra for everything, $3 per night for 50 amps, $2 for cable and $1 each for dogs. We paid for the 50 amps and the fee for each of our three dogs. There is nowhere to exercise or potty the dogs. They offered a small area on the side of a hill with some stone down as a "dog walk" and another strip of mostly dirt on the other side of the park. There are signs everywhere to keep off the grass or don't walk your dog here. So, it was very expensive for what you get. I doubt I would return there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very busy park. We had previously seen it several times, although this was the first time camping. Most of the sites were full, lots of people, kids, dogs etc. which is the way I think an RV park should be. The pool is nice, the people in the office were nice. However, the office closes at 5:00 P.M., a very early time. The roads through the park are narrow and some of the turns difficult with a 45" motorhome with trailer. They have several spots for dropping a trailer (extra charge) but reserve ahead. Because it had rained a lot before we got there, a lot of the sites were pretty wet; ours was right by the door (of course there!) Previous reviewers mention noise, and if your site is right near the entrance, I'm sure it is noisy. But it is in an urban area, so we expected noise. If we were to be in the area again, we probably would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The only reason I didn't rate this park a 10 is the tight dump station and the muddy access road required for RVs. The dump station is short and on a busy Sunday checkout the line of RVs waiting lined up several deep and there is no waiting area - you have to park on the shoulder of the main access road. The main road to get to Reveneur's Ridge is a steep (19%) narrow mountain road. (The campground is at 8800 feet.) No RVs are allowed so it requires a bit of a detour that ends up on a 2 mile dirt road that gets pretty nasty when it rains (which it did). All that being said, this is an excellent park - paved sites with 30 amp electric, lots of trees, well patrolled, clean restrooms, and good Ranger led activities for families. There are lots of hiking trails, although most are pretty hilly and the view from "Panorama Point" is awesome. And it is only about an hour out of Denver! It is very popular and fills up even during the week. Reservations (for summer months) are required months in advance. But well worth it if you can plan that far ahead! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

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.

Rate reflects "Coast to Coast membership" reduced rates. Wife was impressed with clean bathrooms and laundry room. TV over-the-air reception is excellent. Wi-fi is available for a fee. Sites not level from side to side, used leveling blocks. I would stay here again. Adjacent to RV campground are long term trailers and appear to have permanent residents. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Yes, it is NOT a resort. No pool or spa. I have stayed in worse and the parks in the metro Denver area are very limited. We need to be here a month which limits it even more. If you are going to be here just a few nights there are better options but for a longer stay those options are limited. We have been here 4 days and it is ok. I would call it a working mans park. It is part of a combination mobile home/rv park. The wifi is Tengointernet so that means it is spotty. The office gave me a code for four free hours to check it out. It is tolerable. The above rate is on the monthly rate. The office staff are nice and helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Resort? This was no resort and the worst place we ever stayed! The pools, hot tub, playground, basketball court were in the park behind and above the actual RV park, and only for people who stayed at least one month. There is a noisy biker bar at one end and a dogsitting place with barking dogs at the other. Drove by the entrance twice trying to find it. Washing machine facilities dirty; restrooms slightly better, but no paper towels. Sites very narrow and if you have a slideout like ours your slide winds up inches from the other slide. We had to listen to the neighbors high bass stereo. Wi-Fi is hit or miss; we were next to another rig and could not get it. A lot of trashy looking RV's and their sites where locals live year round; some of them did warn us to keep everything locked up due to recent thefts. They also said snowplowing after a storm was hit or miss. You can get thrown out if your dog does not use the run. Dispite the 'no skateboarding' rules it was not enforced. We had to chase kids off who boarding across our lot. People cut through the spaces and some are rather scary looking. We would never stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We arrived to find a crowded, cramped gravel parking lot. My slide outs practically touched the neighbors rig. There is construction underway on the nearby facilities, so there was heavy equipment moving around all day. Navigating the park was tough because the sites are so tight, and there are posts strategically placed to prevent you from turning too tightly. The attendants were nice, and the area is convenient. The sites along the curbs are not too bad, but if you get stuck in the dirt parking lot, watch out. On the other hand, the television reception was very good, and the voltage and water pressure were good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Good economical place to stay in Denver area. Typical fairground--all gravel & somewhat narrow pull throughs except some long termers on blacktop and a few small back-ins by the bathrooms. They were not busy so we parked the truck in the site next to us. Near expressway and manufacturing plant that stops about 5 PM. We had some nice organized horse activity to watch. Camp hosts are very friendly & helpful. They are needed to unlock site water & electricity & dump station. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
