Campgrounds near Denver that do not permit campfires
Where, within two or three hours of Denver, are campgrounds that do not permit campfires, preferably with hiking trails and electrical hookups?

A little late to the party here, but Barr Lake is not somewhere I'd go. I live not far from there, and it's a pretty crappy RV park. It's not attractive either. It's got a lot of full timers and I think the only reason it does any traveler business at all is because there's nothing else around.
The RV Retreat at Johnson's Corner in Johnstown is probably a better idea. It's just right on top of the Interstate. I'm also not sure of their campfire policy as I've never stayed there. I just know it looks nicer than Barr Lake! :)
Also, there is indeed a burn ban throughout most of CO at this point. However, many places will still allow fires within fire rings, we just returned from a weekend at Boyd Lake SP and we could have a fire there within the ring. However, because of where our site was located in the park, we had no smoke anywhere near us (except when we had our own fire). We were in spot 128 in the F loop if that helps.
