- Monty-RobExplorerUnfortunately Cherry Creek is booked up...coming to Denver this coming Friday for 7 to 10 days...found a place in Englewood that is real close to the light rail....thanks for the suggestions
- tmm2goodExplorerCherry Creek State Park, Chatfield State Park, OR Dakota Ridge usually get the best reviews. I have never stayed at Dakota Ridge, but have driven through. I would pick Cherry Creek or Chatfield. Cherry Creek is south east, Chatfield is south west. Dakota Ridge is West (all in relation to Downtown Denver) if that helps any..
- HeisenbergExplorerX4 for Cherry Creek. Good WiFi and everything convenient including mass transit. And we were there during the busy season and it was quiet and well maintained.

- busyguyExplorerIf you are retired military you might try the FamCamp on Buckley AFB in Aurora. Just opened in the last 2 years. There is also acity park in Longmont about 20 miles away and a state park just off I25 and close to Longmont.

- GottaGoCampingExplorerCheck out the Cherry Creek State Park in Aurora, a suburb of Denver. It is amazing how quiet it is there, the park is neat and well kept.
