St Vrain is about a mile off of I25 about 30 miles north of Denver CO. The park is well laid out, site 28 was dead on level with concrete pad, fire ring/bbq and picnic table with shelter. Mallard loop was clean, quiet and had a building w/restroom with showers. Park rangers were very nice and helpful - camp host was either angry or didn't want to engage when i tried to wave him down while he drove around on the golf cart for a question (really pretty funny!) the verizon signal was very strong at 4 bars on my jet pack but throughout the state the phone signal was only 3G!!! thats one strike for CO. Interstate traffic noise was obvious if that bothers you. Price per night is $28 which is for electric only plus the $7 they collect per day with all fees puts you in the $35 ballpark which is probably one of the higher state park fees ...Other than that its a great spot to work with the Rockies in the distance!

We are staying here for a week while we stock up on supplies and do vehicle maintenance in Denver before heading into the mountains of Colorado.
Pros:
- Campground is well-maintained, extremely clean, with regular camp host and state park employee patrols multiple times per hour - on foot, cart, bike, or car - wow.
- Sites are perfectly level and clean concrete slabs. You can probably build Microchips on these slabs.
- Great wetlands with tons of birds.
- North part of the campground only has electric, but are very nice sites around the wetlands.
- Very accessible double-sided dump station.
- Extremely strong Verizon signal - the best I've ever seen: -45dBm from my Cradlepoint with a Panorama 5-wire antenna.
Cons:
- Campground is situated right next to the highway, so you're going to hear some road noise depending on how close you are. Eclipse traffic started up at 5:30AM and woke us up.
- South part of the campground has full hookups, but is basically just a flat gravel field. Big contrast from the north part of the campground with trees and grass.
- Bugs! Suprising number of Mosquitoes all-day, and tiny flies at night that swarm your porch light. Don't open your windows at night - they come right on in though the mesh!
- Need to pay CO state park fees in addition to camping fees. :(

This may not be the most attractive state park around, but it does have a lot going for it. Full hookups for $30, very large, spacious sites, plenty of places to walk with trails around most of the many small lakes, excellent Verizon and AT&T coverage, and a reasonable drive to Longmont and Boulder. Sites are completely level concrete, with a covered gravel picnic area. When outside we can hear the interstate but it's far enough to not be loud or bothersome. The full-hookup section is mostly wide open with few, if any, trees, and is all dirt roads so our car was a mess, and when walking our dog outside we had to deal with lots of dust when other cars drove by. The electric-only section of the campground has paved roads, many mature trees, and is much prettier. We had to deal with some mosquitoes but it wasn't bad compared to some other spots we've camped recently. We'll return in the future to spend more time exploring the Boulder area.

St. Vrain was exactly what we were looking for when visiting friends in the Denver area. We wanted to have full hook ups for a cheaper price while being relatively close to the city and hiking areas. Not an easy feat in Colorado but so happy we found St. Vrain!
It's a very flat campground, bordering the highway. Our site was in the back where we could easily see the gas station signs but the other side of our camper was the most wonderful sunset every night! Other sites were further from the highway, we just happened to have last pick. Still was a nice site. Highway noise minimal considering.
Cell reception was great, staff friendly and the park very clean. Highly recommend if you need a quiet place to stay near civilization ;)

St. Vrain was our second location to visit since getting our motorhome. We found it easy to find however there was a lot of construction on 119 which is the main road outside the park (Otherwise access would be 5 stars). Once we arrived we filled our fresh water. PRO-TIP: the nozzles are a bit tricky, you have to pull down the middle spout before turning on the water for the other spout with the hose attachment to work, once it is on, it stays on but reverts back to the original wide mouth spout. A camp host was kind enough to assist us and I was able to help a neighbor when I caught him swearing at the thing! LOL!
Our spot was #31 on Mallard pond and I think ours was one of the two that didn't have waterfront parking. The spots are well maintained with electric, covered picnic tables, clean fire pits and attentive hosts who were anxious to do their daily rock garden raking of the gravel sites. Our site was paved and most all at this park seemed fairly level. I didn't visit the other sections of the park but I felt it was close to trains, the bathroom, and gorgeous views of the mountains, trees and little lakes. We saw a man spear himself a carp as well as a bald eagle that was looking for some breakfast. I took a lot of beautiful photos and if I had been smart I would have done some still life drawings, maybe I still will. There were lots of people fishing while we were there.
There IS highway noise. You are right off I-25 which can take you either north to Loveland and Ft. Collins, or South will take you into Denver (45 min), the park is in a town called Firestone but the park is only 15 minutes away from Longmont off 119, if you head another 20 min. west you will come to Niwot and then Boulder. I really liked being able to travel to the other cities that were not too far away, this was a great middle point to see everything in the area with my car.
We had great neighbors the whole time and the park is very dog friendly though it does not have any kind of dog park, which I think would be a fun addition.

This is a nice state park that is convenient to I-25. You do hear the noise from the interstate, but it didn't bother me. At night we had our A/C on so that drowns out any noise anyway. We stayed in the Coot Pond loop and our site was right by the pond. We had a beautiful view of the Rocky Mountains in the distance and the sunsets in the evening were beautiful. It was very hot when we were there (upper 90s most days), so we didn't get to enjoy the outside as much but the mornings were lovely and evenings were nice as soon as the sun went down. They don't have any laundry facilities here which was inconvenient. Verizon 4G worked well here. The only reason I knock off any stars for this and every other CO state park is because of the ridiculous $10 reservation fee and the fact that you have to pay the $7/day park entrance fee on top of the campground fee. We travel full-time and this is the only state so far that we have been to that makes you pay an entrance fee in addition to the campground fee. Since we are traveling around Colorado for a couple of months it made sense for us to buy the CO state parks annual pass for $70, but it makes staying at CO state parks a lot more expensive than other states. We are from Florida, and FL state parks do NOT make you pay the entrance fee on top of the campground fee to camp there.

Several loops around large grass areas. Multiple small lakes, lots of people come here to fish. Many sites are FHUs except those by the water are W/E only. Some dry camping under cottonwoods in the back, for smaller rigs and tents. Very few restroom buildings. Double dump at entrance/exit.
There is construction on Hwy 119 until July 2017 that adds noise and dust. Park rangers are very active so behave!

Spot 14 faces the road and we noticed it is much noisier there than on the side with 24. Site 6 would give you a lot of privacy as there are no neighbors on each side and there are a lot of tree- great for a hammock.
If you are there in July, beware of the foxtails. Our dog got a foxtail down his ear and by the time we went to the vet the next morning, it had already punctured his ear drum.

St Vrain State park is just north of Denver, CO. While located alongside I-25 there isn’t much road noise.
There are 3 camping areas. The one on the south side where I stayed (#45) is the newer section is the sites are E/W/S. 20/30/50A. Concrete pad next to a curved picnic shelter. The pad is wide enough that I was able to put out the awning on my Airstream without hitting the picnic shelter. Not much shade in this section.
The north side has two sections. Both have mature trees. Pelican Loop has the best tree/shade coverage while Mallard Campground has a mix of open and shaded spots. These are electric only sites (20/30/50A)
There is a nice dump site available on site.
Verizon was 5 bars inside the Airstream with 15/8mbs down/up on Speedtest.
Park is convenient to lots of activities in the Denver area. Ft Collins is about 20 minutes north, Longmont 10 minutes west and Boulder about 20 minutes away.
E only $22, EWS $26 and a $7 per vehicle fee.

There are lots of sites with full hookups, so we have used it for the spring "shakedown" trip for a couple nights 2 years running. There's shopping & restaurants within 10 minutes for the things you forgot, or if you don't want to cook. Strong cell phone and TV signal.
If you're visiting friends locally, good place for base camp. The gravel ponds have various waterfowl (including great blue herons), and eagles and hawks hang out on the premises as well.
