Big Rig friendly campgrounds in Colorado?

If you're looking for places here in the flats, Boyd Lake SP in Loveland and St. Vrain SP in Longmont would both work for you. Plenty of sites for bigger rigs and the tree issue is minimal at best. Boyd is practically in my backyard, I go by there very frequently and always see big rigs (trailers and DPs) there all over the campground.

Consider also Colorado State Forest SP over by Gould, and specifically Ranger Lakes. Trees not an issue here, since they've all been cut down due to the beetle kill. It's a great place to go for some solitude; has electric hookups, there's common water fill (threaded) and a dump station not too far.

Also consider some of the USFS campgrounds off the Peak-to-Peak Highway, specifically in the Ward to Estes Park area. There's Camp Dick and Peaceful Valley that are both conducive to big rigs (see them all the time up there), and there's open meadow camping areas as well as spots in the trees. Also, there's Olive Ridge, which has more trees, but it seems to be easy enough to get bigger rigs in there, as I've seen the big DP rigs with toads in there.

In Estes Park, if you want to go there, Elk Meadows (commercial park) can certainly accommodate big rigs, as that park is very popular with the DP and 5er crowd.

Just some of the places I can think of all the top of my head.

Thank you!!

Sorry I forgot to mention we've been to Boyd (with our old trailer) and weren't fans of it. Didn't feel much like camping there since it's surrounded by houses and right in the middle of town(felt a bit like that at Carter too TBH), and there were SO MANY kids that were up and yelling and playing by 8am. We live on an acre with nobody behind us, so staying in our own backyard feels more like camping than Boyd does LOL! But you are correct that it is Big Rig friendly. St Vrain is convenient of course, but I feel like it'd probably have the same vibe as Boyd due to it's proximity to the highway... plus it's so hard to get a reservation there unless we do it way in advance! But we'd still like to try it sometime, maybe in the fall when it hopefully isn't as crowded.

I'll check out the USFS spots up there too, I forgot about Camp Dick.

I should add we're also open to boondocking or places with no hookups, we can go a week with no hookups easily.
