Denver Meadows RV Park

I needed a place to stay and was unable to book another site because they didn't have availability for the week. I chose Denver Meadows because they had plenty of available sites whereas the other campsites didn't have anything beyond a day here and there. When my kids came to visit me I moved the rig to another site.

Let's start with the good.
The check-in process was pretty painless, just make sure you do the math yourself. I was left alone despite the appearances at the site. While the location is loud (right by a highway) it is convenient enough to get to the places I wanted to get to. They have dumpsters everywhere that get emptied.

Now for the bad:
There is nothing at this site beyond the basics which makes it the roughest we have stayed at. When checking in there was a math mistake that resulted in getting charged an additional $100 however I had to go back later to get the refund. When pulling into the site I saw utilities on both sides, however when attempting to hookup to them only one side worked. The site isn't maintained so the weeds are growing pretty hardcore. There is a bunch of unrepaired damage evident everywhere. As I drive in I pass a few trash double wides that may eventually get cleaned up. The washers and driers didn't work for me so I had to do laundry offsite.

Bottom line:
The campsite is fine if you want to stick to yourself and you have no kids.

I wish I had taken pics for this review. We have been traveling for the past 18 month. This by far was the most expensive places we have stayed, with zero amenities. I mean zero! Oh, and if you’re there too long they expect you to mow the grass (Umm what?), or they charge you $50 to kindly mow it for you.
The first thing I noticed when I pulled in was the tent city across a small creek, literally 100 yds away. Luckily we didn’t have any issues in that regard, but still unnerving when traveling with a 3 yr old.
I honestly do not know how this place is still open. Prices are horrendous, $70 night, $450 week, $1800 month. Nothing for the kids to do except have scavenger hunts for used needles or strike up a conversation with one of the park drunks.
If this is a last resort, as it was ours. The water, electric and Seward works (at most sites). Try it before you setup.
If I had to do it again, I’d parked on BLM land before contributing $$ to the Denver meadows park.

So I was excepting a pretty nice place for being one of the most expensive places I have stayed.

There is a section of abandoned houses and trailers right outside the gate that government has taken over and boarded up.

There is a homeless small tent camp right across the street.

Very loud, right between the highway, train, and hospital with ambulances (which might be helpful if one of the crackheads stab you)

Got set up and had to move because the water didn’t work, front desk said they forgot.

And my favorite, there is a crack/meth pipe laying right outside the laundry room, for days, that nobody has moved.

Something is strange about this park. It is huge and mostly empty, yet sign on the office door says no vacancy. Tent city of homeless people just outside the property. Location is prime real estate near the University of Colorado Med School. Looks like they are trying to clear out mobile home section and long term residents for some future purpose.

I choose this campground because it was very convenient to where I would be working for a 2 months contract. The other local campgrounds had no availability, and there really is not much to choose from. This place is very old looking It is a large parking lot, gravel lots (some paved), paved roads. Very tight spots, some trees. The electric went out multiples times during my stay here. Staff said fault of electric company. I think their systems could not handle to load of so many air conditioners running. We had multiple days over 100 degree weather. Was scared to death to leave my cat inside while at work (bought a temperature monitoring systems that would alert me if temp went over set level). Had some not so nice words with grounds keeper but sounds like he was getting shafted by owners also, so I let it slide. A lot of full timers here. Bath house is old looking but appeared to be kept clean. I never used the showers but a full timer told me that they turn off the hot water in the summer. Bathrooms, showers and laundry rooms are not air conditioned. Good size laundry room. Washers $3 a load. Dryers .25 for 4 or 5 minutes/depending on what machine you used. Do allow packages to be shipped to office. There are no other amenities here. Staff were friendly, especially Veronica. They do reservations over phone, but do not take any payments at time of reservations. I was nervous that I would arrive and not have a spot but I had no problems with that. Park is convenient if in area to explore Denver. Paid $600 every 2 weeks. Told prices do go down in winter time but unsure of amount.

The very pleasant and helpful lady at check in was fast and efficient.

The grounds are all paved and not kept up. The weeds and distressed possibly abandoned mobile homes were the nearest neighbors. It was very noisy with trains and highway traffic all night long.

Site was very easy to access! Water, Sewer 30/50Amp. No WiFi :(

Bad neighborhood, half filled pool, website advertising a jacuzzi and no jacuzzi, also no meadows.....
