Thanks for the comment. Enjoy your stay. We have been there numerous times.

Sorry

You are welcome. cherry Creek is a great State Park with lots of amenities so close in to Denver. Happy camping.

Sylvan Lake is a beautiful State Park. Happy camping!

Sorry. I had pictures of every campsite including tent sites on my website which was a companion to my CZcams channel but someone hacked my website and I decided not to redo the work that took me thee years to complete.

@@coloradocampgrounds-whatyo7709 that’s too bad. I do t blame you for not going through the trouble again. I think we’ve settled on The Crags in Walden. We wanted to have trees around but not terribly far from a fishing spot. Do you happen know how rough the road is getting to the camp sites?

@jaimiesmith9502 Sorry, I do not. Some of the best tent sites that I have seen are at Rifle Falls State Park. The sites are along a creek I a heavily wooded area. The creek has small trout but a nearby lake offers more fishing at a sister state park. Happy camping.

Only electric. It does have water right across from the site but you will need a water container or fill up before you get set up in the site.

We loved the campground. It’s a gem for sure.

@@coloradocampgrounds-whatyo7709 there is a lot to do at that park and in eagle. Brush creek above the lake is filled with brown trout. If you are willing to hike a bit you will find cutthroat trout too. If you take the east fork road a few miles up there are yurts that the park rents and further up is a cave you can explore. There is a big cabin at the lake. I helped build it. As well as a few trails there I built. The one right off the visitor center is the first trail I’ve ever built it’s still there. If you like to forage mushrooms there is a puffball cluster that comes in every year I found one last year that was the size of a basketball. Sylvan lake is definitely god’s country.

You are welcome! Mueller SP is one of our favorites. Go to McGinty’s Pub in nearby Divide for some wood fired pizza. Happy Camping.

You are welcome. I have all of Colorado’s State and National Parks on the channel. Happy camping.

I stayed in the Prairie Ridge Loop on the lake and had no issues. I had several other trailers around me. Try Arkansas Point which tends to have a lot of campers around if you are concerned for your safety. Happy camping!

Thanks for the compliment. Hope you subscribed to the channel where I have all of Colorado’s camping State Parks posted. Happy camping!

I went to Palomo SP in the fall and the water level was very low as the reservoir is heavily used by the farmers in the valley below. So I did not see any boating activity on the lake when I was there and the marina was closed. I did find this paragraph about the boating activities. “Boating: Water skiing, boat fishing, and general recreation are the main water activities on the 337-acre reservoir. Motorboats, sailboards, and other personal watercraft are permitted” Therefore it does appear that kayaking is permitted. You can always contact the state park administrators. Happy camping and thanks for using our CZcams channel.

@@coloradocampgrounds-whatyo7709 thank you so much for your reply! Heading out there next month and your video was helpful.

Spell check got me. Should have been Paonia SP

Thanks. Enjoy our CZcams channel and Chatfield SP.

Sylvan Lake is a great camping hideaway. Take a look at Rifle Falls SP further west off I-70. It’s another of our favorites.

Thanks for the feedback. Cherry Creek is a gem with the beach, lake, and bike trails. Happy Camping!

Great that you found our CZcams channel. Hope you venture into RMNP and see some elk and moose. The Trail Ridge Road is a must drive above treeline and across the alpine tundra on the highest continuously paved road in the U.S.

I haven’t been there this year so I don’t know if they graded the road to knock down the gravel washboard. If you go real slow you will be alright.

No. There is a small dock at the marina but not suitable for fishing. You can rent boats and pontoons at the marina.

I really like staying there and am sorry I didn’t take my fly rod to fish the headwaters of the Colorado River which runs through the Kawuneeche Valley and along Timber Creek. Enjoy and thanks for viewing the video. I hope you subscribed to our CZcams channel. The website which used to accompany the CZcams channel was hacked 2 years ago and I decided not to rebuild it, losing three years of work. Oh well. Enjoy camping at TC.

@@coloradocampgrounds-whatyo7709 I bought a fly rod and license when we got to Colorado with the idea of doing something I haven't done in 40+ years. Hope to find an unclaimed spot in the National Forest to do some panning as well. So much to explore and do and so little time.

Thanks! Enjoy camping there.

A good place for a test run. Enjoy.

Thanks...I shot this video May 31 - June 1, 2018. Lathrop was the first Colorado State Park. I suspect the lakes will not be frozen, but then it is Colorado!

Thanks for viewing/using our videos to plan your Colorado camping trips. Hackers destroyed my website which took me three years and a significant investment to build. I decided not to rebuild the website but plan to keep the CZcams channel going. I will update the videos at some point, but it will require me to re-edit each video to remove the multiple website references and links.

Oh man that stinks. I'll continue to enjoy your videos. Thanks!

I appreciate your positive feedback. Colorado is blessed with great State Parks.

Yes, if you approach Eleven Mile State Park from the west, the road is in rough shape. If you approach Eleven Mile from the north, the pavement is in much better shape.

You’re welcome. Go to Big B’s Orchard in nearby Hotchkiss. Great outdoor cafe/music/orchard venue.

Enjoy Cherry Creek. Great as a home base to explore Denver.

Thank you too

I do not have any statistics to back this up but my wife and I felt safe when we camped there. We were in a trailer in the main campground.

We were in Reverend’s Ridge Loop C.

Yes it is. The old cottonwoods provide some good shade. Happy camping!

Thanks for your comment. Happy camping!

Thanks for the compliment. I hope you subscribed to the channel. Check out the video of Rifle Falls State Park with its triple 70 foot waterfalls. It’s out in western Colorado but worth a visit. Happy camping!

When I visited Elk Creek Campground it was privately owned; it recently became a KOA. You will need to call them to see if they allow car camping. 888-562-0503. Good luck.

Sorry to hear this. We camped in Dutch Carlie when I shot this video and it was in great shape.

Should be gorgeous. Thanks for using our channel to check out Colorado’s campgrounds.

Thanks for your comments and historical relationship with Sylvan Lake SP. What a beautiful place to live although I could imagine winters could get harsh. We sure enjoyed our stay there.

@@coloradocampgrounds-whatyo7709 Yes it gets a little snow !!!!We left and moved to Rifle Co. in September. I am going to come for a visit one day

Glad you are finding them helpful. Happy camping!

Mmm…I have hiked those tracks to fish the Arkansas and thought that track was abandoned.

well it was around 1987 or '88@@coloradocampgrounds-whatyo7709

Which direction are you coming from?

Will be coming from Moab heading east to Black Gunnison then back toward Denver@@coloradocampgrounds-whatyo7709

I assume by your comment that you mean that you are traveling the southern route across Colorado and stopping at the National park, Black Canyon of the Gunnison. You may want to check out the Great Sand Dunes National Park which features the largest sand dunes in the U.S. Further east is one of our favorite state parks named Mueller SP (electric hook-ups). A small hidden gem near Mueller is Eleven Mile Canyon (not to be confused with Eleven Mile State Park). Eleven Mile Canyon has no hook-ups but is very unique with three 1800’s train tunnels that you drive through along a stunning cascading river between towering canyon walls. At Colorado Springs, we have camped several times at Cheyenne Mountain State Park (near NORAD) which overlooks the Colorado plains and Fort Carson (you can hear taps in the evening). Finally, in Denver Cherry Creek State Park is on a Reservoir with several camping loops in an old cottonwood grove. You can view videos of these campgrounds on our CZcams channel. Happy camping!

Thanks for that update.

Thanks for subscribing. Enjoy your time at State Forest. I am sure you will see some moose.

Thanks for checking out our CZcams Channel...!

Thank you so much for subscribing! Enjoy our channel and find just the right Colorado campsite.

Thanks for checking out our CZcams channel. We have Colorado's four national parks and all of the State Parks (offering RV/trailer camping), as well of some of our campground favorites. Enjoy Colorado camping!

Thanks for checking us out. Enjoy our channel and Colorado camping!

Thanks for subscribing! Enjoy Colorado camping…it’s the best!

I assume you meant potable (drinkable) water. Reverends Ridge has a potable water hookup at the dump station. Many of the loops have potable warmer faucets but it is more difficult to hook up to them to fill your tank.

@@coloradocampgrounds-whatyo7709 yes, brain fart. thanks for the info

You are welcome. I hope you are a subscriber and checked out some of our other videos on the channel. We have all of Colorado’s State Parks and Colorado’s four National Parks on the channel as well. Happy camping!

@@coloradocampgrounds-whatyo7709 I live in texas but I subscribed! It helped me pick my campsites :) we will be driving and have never been!!

You’re welcome! I hope you subscribed to our channel and viewed some of our other campgrounds. We have every Colorado State Park and Colorado’s four National Parks on the channel, plus other campgrounds you should visit such as Eleven Mile Canyon which is just below Eleven Mile State Park.
