Weekend road trip in the area & stopped by this hidden gem, absolutely great workers here & SUPER clean bathrooms with showers in them. Will be coming back in the future!

The cabins are really clean and comfortable to stay in! Plus the proximity to hikes in golden gate is perfect. We saw a moose while we were there which was an added bonus! Great spot close to denver for a weekend getaway. We'll be back!

Totally Gramable!

We stopped for an overnight stay during our drive through the mountains. The property is well kept. Very nice full hook up set up on some sites. The regular/ long terms are on the other side of the building, that was nice. The restrooms/ showers are updated and the nicest we saw the entire trip. The showers are coin operated. The sites are a bit close together, however there are a lot of Aspens between the sites so there is some privacy. The laundry is nice and the store well stocked. Our 9 year old daughter really liked the playground. Overall great place to stay.

This was my 4th time renting a cabin up here. The location is just far enough away from the city to enjoy being outdoors. They have full showers and restrooms that are always impeccably clean. The cabins are always clean and comfortable, as well as very affordable. The staff is so nice, too. Always willing to help out or give great suggestions. I also love that they are dog friendly! I definitely be back many many more times! Thanks for the great stay!

Love this place. It's on the outskirts of Denver so it's perfect for you to take daily excursions into different areas to discover new things. We only planned on staying one night and ended up staying three! Washer and dryer's on site as well as clean bathrooms and showers. We were going to just do the tent camping but the winds were so bad that they upgraded us to a cabin. We have had so much fun. Bonfires with Smore's, Snow fight with fresh powder, hiking and even have seen some interesting wildlife!!!! Did I forget to mention it's snowing...

Fall colors are hanging on this year

Stayed in a cabin and it was a great "camping" experience while still keeping the little one warm.

Gorgeous location! We drove through the whole campground and there wasn't one bad site! They have…read morereally nice restrooms with hot showers, 4 minutes for $1 and and you can add quarters as needed $.25=1 minute. There is a coin machine on the vanity. Located within the main restroom facility they have laundry and vending machines loaded with snacks and caffeine. The vending machines and ice machine all take cards and cash. The restrooms are cleaned constantly and the staff are all so pleasant! Panorama Point is located just up the hill with stunning views of the surrounding mountains! There is an office on the right when you enter the campground which is where you buy bundles of wood for $5 each. For a nice size fire that lasts approximately 4-5 hours you'll need to bundles.

This is a very civilized campground with brick and mortar restrooms, showers, and picnic tables…read more Please note every vehicle will require a Colorado State park pass which cost $7 per day. They sell firewood at visitor center for $5, credit card accepted. The elevation is roughly around 10,000 feet so pack extra water and clothes. Basic tent sites start at $30 and Cabins and Yurts start at $80. A little pricy for camping but the hiking trails and the proximity to Denver is worth it to me. Also if you have AT&T the LTE works for those with phone anxiety. Reserve online early most sites are booked months in advance.

So...we almost gave up on KOA until we stayed at this place. I'm not sure where to start: I mean,…read morethey deliver fresh made pizza and wings to your tent or RV door! The site are meticulously maintained. The staff is exceptional (special shout outs to Chuck, the owner; Reagan in the kitchen; and Bethany, who was always kind). The campgrounds is perfectly situated in the midst of a bunch of mountain towns (Idaho Springs, Central City, Black Hawk, Georgetown) , so there a ton to do in the vicinity. Know what you're getting: this is a hotel for which you provide your own roof; calling it a campgrounds is only slightly accurate. KOAs are really designed for folks who like the idea of camping, but don't want to camp. You'll get a fire pit, and some excellent, super dry firewood that makes for a really easy start, and you'll have a fully stocked convenience store steps away from your very clean campsite. What's more, the bathrooms are better than most hotel bathrooms! They're clean, with plenty of hot water, and the staff check them several times a day. The service is excellent, the location is perfect, and the staff is seriously unparalleled! Well done Denver West for restoring our faith in the KOA brand!

We spent two nights here while exploring the greater Denver area. The staff was outstanding, and…read morethe facilities were clean and well-maintained. Although the tent sites are small and close together, they were still enjoyable. The drive to the site is scenic, and it's just an hour and a half from Rocky Mountain National Park. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a camping spot near Denver.

This is literally one of those reviews that I've hesitated to write. I just don't want to share…read moresuch a great place! Though after much consideration, I suppose I might as well be the one to share it with all my Yelp friends! Star #1: It is a first come, first serve, FREE campground. There is a paid campground nearby as well, so don't fret if you arrive and there are no sites available. However, it is such a hidden gem that I have yet to have the need for that. Star #2: Many of the sites are adjacent small streams, so you'll get to fall asleep to the sounds of babbling brooks! There are a few that are more open and offer lots of space for activities and larger groups too - bags anyone?! We tend to prefer the ones that are tucked up against the mountain. Star #3: The variety of sites makes it a great place for any type of camping: tents, camper, car, etc! Though, I will say, an RV might be pushing it... Star #4: At approximately and hour and a half from Denver, this campground is ideal for those looking for a close and quick mountain getaway without committing to hours in the car. Star #5: If you are like many campers and want to get some shooting in while you embrace your inner woods-person. Sugarloaf has got you covered! There is a wide open area right when you turn up the main road that is prepped for all your shooting needs. So go ahead and fire off a few rounds. Just don't forget: safety first! After camping a handful of places in Colorado Sugarloaf Campground has been on of my favorites and on of the only ones I have been back to multiples times!
