As others have mentioned, Cherry Creek and Chatfield SP both offer full hookups and reservations should be made as early as possible as they go very fast. Both are in the southern end of the Denver Metro area.
If full hookups are not absolutely necessary and you can get by with electric only with dump stations and water centrally located, then you could also consider Golden Gate Canyon, St Vrain, and Boyd Lake SPs. Boyd Lake is the most distant from Denver (practically in my back yard), about 45-50 minutes north of Denver. Golden Gate Canyon is a bit closer as to mileage, but is more remote in the mountains west of Golden off CO 93, or accessible from Black Hawk/Central City area.

Commercially for private campgrounds/resorts, if you use R V Park Reviews, check out the Golden area as a first choice. You won't find much in Denver proper; there's also the suburbs of Aurora and Sheridan with selections, but note the ratings and the dates of the ratings. As previously mentioned, there's the KOA east of Denver in Strasburg.
