Chatfield State Park was very nice. Our site had fhu and plenty of room for a 42 ft 5th wheel and pickup. We were close to town for shopping and restaurants. Red Rocks was amazing.Full review by Navigator01420476763

Lots of parking and spaces to put into the water. We kayaked, paddle-boarded, and picnicked on the bank. The park is also pet-friendly.Full review by familyis4ever
Is ther a fee for bicyclists to enter Chatfiled SP?
A:
Hopefully there is a fee for anyone entering a Colorado State Park - they need the revenue. Colorado State Parks do not get tax revenue (dumb idea) for operations - it all comes from fees.
kcbruder, I was wondering if you can tell me if there is a way to purchase the quarters needed for showering? And if so, where? Thanking you in advance, Evy
A:
There are change machines, but they (mulitple ones) were out of order when I was there. I recommend you bring your own.

I would say Chatfield is a good option. I know they are doing some construction on roads, but I would go on the main lake and put in by the gravel pond or the swim beach. You can paddle around, there are some coves to explore (not too deep but good). You have a nice view of the hogback (large foothills) and you can find areas that are pretty quiet. Bear Lake State Park is another option, although the lake is MUCH smaller and would not be as quiet. I have not tried Cherry Creek State Park so I cannot speak to that area.
