We tent camped and had more than enough room! The camp ground was easy to find off the freeway and site 12 was labeled well! We arrived at 10pm and easily navigated the camp ground to find the site.
If you plan on tent camping definitely bring sleeping pads as you are sleeping on gravel. The freeway is kind of noisy until about 12am-530/6am but after full days of hiking we slept so well & weren’t bothered by the noise at all.
We didn’t have time to try out the brewery or food truck but next time it is a must!!

This site (#5) was amazing and so gorgeous, it was really slanted but it wasn't a problem to us, the steps down to the water are crazy but it was a fun challenge, we got recommend a fantastic hike and enjoyed our stay. I really hope to come back here, the potable water turns off at night which was annoying but probably understandable

Great site depending on your priorities and requirements for your trip. This spot was super easy, convenient, with lots of amenities in a beautiful setting. Kids and I were there for just a night and had a great time down at the beach and an absolute blast in the bike park. If your priorities are quiet, having some space, or looking for true camping in the outdoors this is not a good fit.

It was lovely being by the river, however the steps are steep and uneven, as well as the area around the fire pit. It was hard to use the fire pit at all and both my kiddos fell multiple times. It is also not private with the rope course looking down on your site. The port-a-potties were in need of cleaning for the first two days and finally got it the day before we left. My guess is with the large troop next to us they needed an extra cleaning. Overall, I found nothing about this site that would entice me back. It wasn’t what I was hoping my kid’s first Colorado camping experience would be and was too expensive for the difficulty of the site with lack of privacy.
