North Shore RV Park & General Store

8 RV Sites, 2 Cabins

North Shore RV Park and General Store in Loveland, Colorado, offers 8 RV sites and two cabins along US Highway 34, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 70 feet. Full-hookup back-in and dry camping categories give two clear price points, with a general store, laundry, and dump station in the Front Range foothills. Eight back-in sites run in back-in and dry camping categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 70 feet. The dry camping tier gives self-contained rigs a genuine budget option, and 70 feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. Two cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, and dump station handle the practical side. Two billing notes: electricity is not included in the price for monthly rentals or storage, and if you need a 50-amp site, contact the campground directly rather than assuming availability. Boating, fishing, water sports, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and biking all run nearby. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which keeps rates workable in an expensive corridor. Pets are welcome. The position is the appeal. The park sits at the eastern threshold of the Big Thompson River Canyon, the dramatic route US-34 takes climbing toward Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Larimer County's recreational lakes — Carter, Horsetooth, and Lake Loveland — are close for boating and paddling, and Loveland itself has a substantial public art and sculpture scene. Summer is peak in the Front Range, with Rocky Mountain National Park filling from June through September. Reserve well ahead, and ask about monthly rates.

Jellystone Park™ Estes

62 RV Sites, 30 Cabins, 9 Tent Sites, 4 Cottages, 2 Lodges

Jellystone Park Estes in Estes Park, Colorado, offers 62 full-hookup RV sites, 36 cabin, cottage, and lodge units, and nine tent sites at the eastern gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 55 feet. Premium and small full-hookup categories join pull-through sites, with a pool, mini-golf, jumping pillow, and arcade. Sixty-two sites span full hookup, full hookup premium, full hookup small, full hookup small premium, and full hookup pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 55 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. The small-site categories right-size for compact rigs and vans rather than making them pay for space they cannot use. Thirty-six cabins, cottages, and lodges and nine tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Check-in is 1pm for campsites and 3pm for cabins, with checkout at 11am. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with mini-golf, a jumping pillow, arcade, game room, gaga ball, basketball, sports courts, golf cart rentals, walking trails, hiking, a playground, pavilion, and dog park filling the grounds. Fishing and picnicking run on site. Estes Park is one of the most sought-after mountain resort communities in the West, and the elevation keeps summers comfortable. Summer is the short, intense season at Rocky Mountain. Reserve well ahead for June through September.

Applewood RV Resort

5 RV Sites

Applewood RV Resort in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, offers five full-hookup RV sites immediately west of Denver, with 20 and 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 25 feet. Back-in and pull-through categories join a laundry, showers, dump station, and on-site dining in Jefferson County. Five sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 25 feet, with picnic tables. Two things to check carefully before booking: the 25-foot cap is genuinely restrictive and rules out most modern RVs — this suits vans, small trailers, and truck campers — and service tops out at 30-amp. Each space rental includes four guests, with a fee for additional people. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, personal mailboxes, and on-site dining handle the practical side. A lake, pond, and creek sit nearby for fishing, with a water park, golf course, and state park close. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which is the trade for the address. Pets are welcome. Full-service RV camping this close to downtown Denver is genuinely scarce, and that is the entire proposition. Wheat Ridge is an inner suburb, which puts the city's restaurants, museums, and sports venues within 15 minutes and Red Rocks Amphitheatre a short drive southwest. The Clear Creek Trail runs through Wheat Ridge for cycling, Golden and the Coors brewery are minutes west, and I-70 climbs directly into the Front Range for Rocky Mountain National Park and the ski corridor. Summer drives the heaviest demand along the Front Range, with concert season at Red Rocks running spring through fall. Reserve well ahead, and check your rig against the 25-foot limit.

Lakeview Haven

28 RV Sites

Lakeview Haven in Glendo, WY, offers 28 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet. Every site is a back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, propane fills, and on-site dining handle the essentials, with WiFi across the property and cabins available for guests without a rig. Campfires are allowed in the public fire pits rather than at individual sites, and tents need their own tent site — you can't pitch one beside a cabin. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground and a basketball court for kids. A fishing pier on the property puts guests on the water, and the community fire pit is where the evening ends up. Glendo sits in the high plains of Platte County on the shore of Glendo Reservoir, a North Platte River impoundment known for walleye and for some of the emptiest, clearest night skies in Wyoming. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. The reservoir's summer season is short and busy — reserve ahead for July and August.

Hidden Lake Campground and Resort

18 RV Sites, 8 Cabins

Hidden Lake Campground and Resort in Hot Springs, South Dakota, offers 18 RV sites and eight cabins on a private lake in the Black Hills' southern tier, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted to 75 feet. Boat, kayak, and bike rentals sit on a property offering a more intimate alternative to the Hills' larger commercial campgrounds. Eighteen sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 75 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Eight cabins serve guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side. The private lake anchors the experience. Boat rentals, kayak rentals, and paddle boats put guests on the water, with fishing, swimming, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boarding from the shoreline. Bike rentals, walking trails, hiking, biking, horseshoes, corn hole, a playground, and planned activities fill the rest, with strong stargazing and birding across the property. Pets are welcome. Hot Springs sits in Fall River County where the Black Hills give way to the high plains. Wind Cave National Park preserves the transition zone's grassland and underground cave ecology just north, with a state park nearby and the full Black Hills circuit within reach — but far enough from the core tourism corridor that the campground stays quiet. Summer is peak across the Black Hills, and the August Sturgis rally tightens availability regionally. With 18 sites and a private lake, reserve well ahead for July and August.

Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon

Tucked into the mountain scenery of Gilpin County just forty-five minutes from Denver and thirty minutes from Golden, Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon puts guests at the gateway to one of Colorado's most beloved natural playgrounds without requiring a deep-mountain commitment to reach it. Located in Black Hawk on Highway 46, the campground sits adjacent to Golden Gate Canyon State Park—12,000 acres of Front Range backcountry with 35 miles of hiking and biking trails—and just down the road from the gambling establishments of Black Hawk and Central City, creating a range of options unusual for a mountain campground of its size. Thirty-one full hookup sites accommodate big rigs with many pull-through configurations, and the mountain surroundings give even a standard RV pad a sense of the high country. Glamping cabins offer a fully outfitted alternative, each with a full-size bed and twin bunks, electric, heater, and linens provided. A well-stocked convenience store and a community fire pit serve practical and social needs, and a pavilion provides a covered gathering space for groups. Modern restrooms with heated floors and laundry facilities round out the amenity profile. Propane fills are available on-site, and the pet-friendly policy with walking trails ensures four-legged travelers are genuinely welcome. The Colorado mountains surrounding Base Camp deliver the visual drama that defines a Front Range campground at elevation. Colorful aspen groves ring the property and put on a spectacular autumn show from mid-September through early October, when golden color draws leaf-peepers from Denver and beyond. Mountain meadows, wildflower patches in early summer, and long views from the higher portions of the property give the campground a natural backdrop that changes character through the seasons. Wildlife is a regular presence—mule deer, red foxes, and an assortment of mountain birds move through on their daily rounds. Golden Gate Canyon State Park is the primary outdoor destination for guests, with trails ranging from easy meadow walks to challenging ridge hikes with views stretching to the Continental Divide. Fishing in Ralston Creek and the park's Kriley Pond is accessible within the park boundary. Black Hawk and Central City—historic mining towns that became Colorado's first legal gambling communities—are minutes away with casinos, restaurants, and entertainment options that provide a lively counterpoint to the outdoor programming. The Peak to Peak Scenic Byway passes directly through the area and connects to Rocky Mountain National Park to the north for a spectacular full-day drive. Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon operates seasonally and draws a strong mix of Denver metro residents looking for a quick mountain getaway and out-of-state visitors using it as a Front Range staging ground for broader Colorado exploration. Fall weekends during peak aspen color sell out quickly, and summer reservations should be made well in advance. The combination of Denver accessibility, a stellar state park next door, and a casino town minutes away makes Base Camp genuinely versatile across different types of campers and travelers. Book early for fall color weekends—this one fills up fast.

Colorado Heights Camping Resort

243 RV Sites

Colorado Heights Camping Resort in Monument, Colorado, offers 243 RV sites across 28 pine-forested acres at 7,000 feet, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet. Full-hookup and no-sewer categories at both amperages join pull-in and pull-through tiers, with a pool, hot tub, mini-golf, and Pikes Peak in view. Two hundred forty-three sites span 30-amp full, 30-amp full pull-in, 30-amp full pull-through, 30-amp no sewer, 30-amp no sewer pull-through, 30-amp pull-in, 50-amp full, and 50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with picnic tables. The category names are unusually direct — a site labeled "no sewer" tells you exactly what you are getting, and prices accordingly. A general store, laundry, propane exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with mini-golf, a recreation center, clubhouse, game room, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, a playground, and pavilion filling the grounds. Fishing and picnicking round it out. Monument sits on the Front Range's Palmer Divide in El Paso County, where the Rampart Range's ponderosa hills meet the Pike National Forest and Pikes Peak's 14,115-foot summit fills the western view. The Garden of the Gods, the Air Force Academy, and the ProRodeo Hall of Fame are all close. Summer is peak in the Colorado high country. Reserve well ahead for June through August.
