Can anyone suggest a campground near Boulder, Colorado? Need at least electric hookup.

We have searched around that entire area for a decent RV park. We have family that we like to visit in Broomfield. Our visit last year was to St. Vrains. I wouldn't necessary rate it high, but it was just ok. We didn't feel any type of warm welcome there, and felt that it was just an ok place to park the motorhome. Just my opinion that we will be looking for an alternative park when we travel there this year.

You must have been out in what we call 'The desert', where the FHUs are & no tree. A desolate place. The north loops, where the poor folks camp, have the trees & are far nicer.

Thunder Mountain is right on. I also lived in Estes but not nearly as long as him. RV parks in Estes have also deteriorated terribly over the last few years. And make sure you check out the roads due to the massive flooding last year.

Except that US 36 is not currently recommended for RV travel, due to the major reconstruction sites on the roadway from the flooding last September. Significant delays, rough dirt road, 1 lane travel through the construction sites with a pilot car -- when I took that route without my trailer a few weeks back, it took 2 hours to get from Estes to Lyons.

No offense intended my fellow RVer, but I lived in EP for 34 years. There is no way you can get to Boulder from EP in 35 minutes. During the busy months, I would allow twice that time.

As others have stated not much around Boulder, because the cost of dirt is too high. Boyd Lake is nice and close enough. The traffic coming in on 93 from Dakota Ridge in Golden can be unpleasant. The Boulder County fairgrounds isn't much to look at but would work.

Or stay in Loveland so you can have cinammon rolls every day at Johnson's Corner. That's where we stay.

I am a fan of St Vrain, have been staying there the past 5 years. Great park

As a many time visitor to Boulder, St Vrain SP has been found to be the most convenient & pleasant. The Fairgrounds is closer, right in Longmont but is nothing but carpark camping.

Here you go. The Lyons park was beautiful but I believe still closed due to the flooding last year. Campgrounds near Boulder

Golden Gate is beautiful, quite wooded. We did see some fairly big rigs in there.

Three State Parks within proximity to Boulder.
Golden Gate State Park south of Boulder.

Golden Gate State Park

St Vrain State Park, outside Longmont, at CO 119 and I-25

St Vrain State Park

Boyd Lake State Park, in Loveland

Boyd Lake State Park

All have nice facilities. St Vrain will be a bit noisy, due to it's proximity to I-25. Golden Gate Canyon is beautiful and quiet, at about 9200ft, it's between Boulder and Golden. Boyd Lake is also quiet and is about 45 minutes or so from Boulder.

The Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont has a campground. 25 minutes from Boulder.
Water/elect/dump station.

Fairgrounds

That's about it. Boulder is an expensive, high class place. They don't want us lowlife campers around. 😉
