We recently had the pleasure of staying at Chatfield State Park from August 6 to 20, 2023, and our experience was nothing short of delightful. Nestled in the picturesque landscape just outside of Denver, Chatfield State Park offers a serene retreat for nature enthusiasts and campers alike.
Upon arrival the park staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and readily available to assist with any inquiries. Their commitment to maintaining the park's pristine condition and ensuring the satisfaction of campers was evident throughout our stay.
We were in Loop D, site 166, a back-in site with full hook-ups on a concrete pad, complemented by a serene gravel sitting area with a fire pit and picnic table. The site was long and spacious, well-maintained, and provided easy access for our RV. There was plenty of room to park our Truck and car side-by-side in front of our 5th wheel with plenty of room away from the road. The site's layout allowed for a sense of privacy, with ample distance from neighboring campers. Allowing you to enjoy the view and nature around you.
The amenities include clean restroom and shower facilities, a laundry facility, outdoor vending machines that have a variety of snacks and drinks for purchase, as well as firewood and waste stations. The park's well-maintained trails provided ample opportunities for hiking and biking, and the lake offered a tranquil setting for water activities such as boating, kayaking, and fishing.
One of the highlights of our stay was the breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds Chatfield State Park. The sprawling landscapes covered with patches of beautiful yellow sunflowers, scenic trails, and the shimmering waters of Chatfield Reservoir create a postcard-worthy backdrop. Whether you're an avid photographer or simply seeking a peaceful environment to unwind, the park's beauty is sure to captivate.
In conclusion, our two-week stay at Chatfield State Park was a rejuvenating experience. The combination of comfortable camping facilities, stunning natural surroundings, and a variety of recreational opportunities make this park a top choice for those seeking a tranquil retreat near Denver. Whether you're an avid camper or a first-timer, Chatfield State Park offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
