If you are planning to stay at Colorado state parks this summer, note that camping fee and reservation requirements changed on January 1, 2019. Reservations are now REQUIRED for camping at nearly every state park, but can be made on the day of arrival (assuming anything is available).
Camping fees have increased considerably, but the reservation fee has been dropped if you reserve through the state parks website, not ReserveAmerica. For example, a full-hookup RV site at Cherry Creek State Park is now $41/night, plus a $10/day park pass. And Chatfield, Golden Gate Canyon, Cheyenne Mountain, Mueller, and other popular parks along the Front Range are nearly that much for W/E and even electric-only sites.
Bottom line: if you want to camp in Colorado state parks, plan ahead, make reservations, and bring lots of money!
