Campgrounds not far from Denver International Airport

We are picking up some family at Denver International Airport who will be camping with us. It will be late in the evening so we don't want to drive a long way after picking them up. Any suggestions on a campground in that area

    Went by in a snowstorm once it looked like there was a large tenting area :)

    Not sure where the airport is, but I've always heard good things about Cherry Creek SP on the southeast side of the city.

    Actually, on second look, its very near the airport.

    What is your definition of "near"? DIA is NE of the city whereas Cherry Creek SP is in the SE, about 35 mi. from DIA.

    From DIA to Cherry Creek SP is about 25 miles or 30 mins. Never been there but from the pictures, Denver Meadows looks like a parking lot to me. Colorado State Parks are hard to beat.

    Not many selections in the Denver area. The State parks are nice and they book quickly on weekends. When were you going to be there?
