Moving to Denver - full timing

I've just started my research into places to full-time in the Denver area. I'm a little disappointed so far finding the rates a little higher than here in the Southeast. So far I've found 3 sites to contact for more info:
Cherry Creek in Aurora - don't list a monthly rate and require purchase of a park pass in addition to site rental. Not a fan of places where visitors/friends would need to pay to come see me, but it looks like a lovely place with great reviews.
Prospect RV Park in Wheat Ridge - comparable monthly rate to what I'm paying in Atlanta now, except that they charge for electricity usage on top of the rate.
Clear Creek RV Park in Golden - appears small and peaceful, but very little info available online.

Anyone have any experience with these locations or can recommend some that I may have missed by browsing the Good Sam site and rvparkreviews.com?

Also, what sort of ballpark figure could I expect to be paying if I'm charged for my own electricity use? When I rented an apartment, my bills were usually around $100/mo. I do tend to run quite a few appliances during the day - 46" LED TV, 2 laptop computers, 2 electric space heaters, domestic refrigerator, full sized microwave.

Thanks for any help in advance!
  • That Flying Saucer park looks quite nice and is the most reasonably priced that I've seen so far. Only downside being the wifi restricted to the office. But that's a convenience I can deal with if I saving $100 a month.
  • Two other possibilities. One is the flying saucer rv park in Littleton and the other is just around the corner from the flying saucer on federal Blvd.(can't remember the name ). Flying saucer is nothing special. It is a converted mobile home park and has been improved over the years. The one around the corner on federal is primarily a mobile home park with some rv's. It is very clean, strict rules, no pets, swimming pool, laundry, etc
  • Cherry Creek is a Colorado State Park so your stay would be limited to some number of days. You can find out the restrictions here; Cherry Creek
  • My choice would be golden really nice area.aurora has the air force base so load planes.
