Platte River Campground

Friendly camp host and well maintained bathrooms and grounds. We stayed there for a while and loved it so much! We saw so much wildlife and my daughter learned a lot being out there. We will most definitely be returning!

Beware of trying to make a reservation at this campground. I thought I found this Campground on recreation.gov and made a reservation for my RV. There are no reservations and no RVs allowed at this campground, tense only! It turns out there is a Platte river campground in Michigan at a national lakeshore recreation area and it is not clear at rec.gov that it is Not the one I wanted in Colorado!. it looks like a very nice little campground for tent camping, but we didn’t stay there since no RVs were allowed.

One of the best camping trips my family ever got to take

The site is exquisite. The photos attached show what it looks like waking up at 7am and opening up the tent from the most upper campsite. across the river, there's a path for the animals traveling along. some people have spotted moose. I spotted a couple deer while we were here. The camp hosts are absolutely phenomenal. They sell firewood there as well. You should prefer to buy from the site you stay at. It's about an hour from Denver, so super convenient, very beautiful, and easily accessible. The ground is all gravel rocks and dirt. Lots of different kinds of ants, but they're sparse at the sites. They tend to stay away from people. Overall, it's an amazing experience and we'll be back as often as possible :)

Attendant on site. Restroom, grills and camping sites available. There is a parking fee. A daily parking fee is $7.00 an overnight parking fee i believe is $22.00. The highway above is not loud at all. Beautiful views.
