We stayed overnight here to attend a concert at nearby Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The campground is nice & clean, and is perfect for that purpose. And it looks to be a very nice day-use area (nice beach, albeit packed, easy access to multiple bike paths) - but I wouldn't come here to get away, as the traffic noise was loud all night, and ... more
We stayed overnight here to attend a concert at nearby Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The campground is nice & clean, and is perfect for that purpose. And it looks to be a very nice day-use area (nice beach, albeit packed, easy access to multiple bike paths) - but I wouldn't come here to get away, as the traffic noise was loud all night, and the view of the Home Depot on the hill is not what I usually go for in a campground. But, that being said, being 10 minutes (tops) drive from Red Rocks when going to see a concert is fantastic - so I'm sure we'll be back. Our site was no hookups, all sun, nice tent pad/picnic table/fire ring. Heads up - be sure to ask for night entry directions, as the main entrance closes in the evening, and you have to take a back way to access your campsite after that point in the evening.

We had a great stay at Bear Creek Lake in late May. This park is located for easy access to area recreation (we enjoyed Red Rocks, Dinosaur Ridge, hiking, Golden Breweries and nearby shopping). If you need to stay near the Denver metro area, this is a great option. We much preferred this over Cherry Creek, which is on the other side of metro Denver.
While the park does attract many locals, the 2-week maximum stay is enforced and we saw no indication of full-time residents. We did find a good mix of RV's, trailers and tenters in the area.
Each site is fairly level (we had no issue getting level) and has a power pole and picnic table. Sites are sufficiently spaced apart. Water access is conveniently located throughout the campground.
The freeway noise can be heard, but nothing too bad and the lights from the bathroom are as bright as the nearby Home Depot. Our site on the edge (44) was the nearest row to the freeway. I think a location on the other side of the RV area might have a bit less car noise.
Right out our door we had biking (mountain and road), hiking trails, horseback riding (with rental), archery range and several locations to kayak.
The only improvement we would like to see is the after hours access. If you don't make it through the main gate by 9:30, you need to go in a back way for access to the campground. This is a tricky exit off Northbound 470 and requires a few cloverleaf loops to get to. When we arrived at the gate one evening at 9:27 we were not happy to be turned around by the ranger.

The price of $19 includes $1 off for senior discount. There was an additional $8 fee for a pass for the tow vehicle. This place is kind of hard to explain. It is like a little oasis in the middle of chaos. What is unusual is you can see and hear noise from the interstate. Plus the very bright lights of the nearby Home Depot. I see this as a day use park more than a place to stay. It appears to be heavily used this way. Most of the RVs were older and appeared to have been stationary for a while. I assume from locals who leave the RVs there for weekends. Our site was very unlevel, and we satisfied ourselves with sort of level. Kind of pricey for just electric and no other amenities. It is a long drive from the entrance to the RV sites so be patient :)

Many of the sites are not level and the ground in ours ( despite looking dry and solid ) gave way and allowed our jacks to sink - see the photos. All seem to have electric only ( no water at sites ), though there is a nice double access dump station and fresh water hydrants in a few spots throughout the campground. The rest of the park is peppered with bike, horse and hiking trails and there are two lakes, a beach, horse rentals and an archery range. I'd come back.
