Camper reviews for Golden Gate Canyon State Park
Fabulous Park and Location in the Rockies Front Range
Absolutely beautiful park with lots of tree cover and electric hookups. The park facilities are clean and very nice. The location is outstanding. Denver, Boulder, Nederland, Estes Park, Idaho Springs, and other areas of interest are close.
The only negatives of this park are that the roads are narrow and the back-in RV sites are pretty tight. Anything over 30 ft is very hard to get into a sight. Plus the pads are not level - so there is a little more set up time than some other parks.
