The other campers were awesome though, friendly and willing to greet each other with a smile. I really appreciated Pam and Steve, the camp hosts. They were so diligent, keeping the camp clean (especially the toilets!), preserving the natural beauty of the campground, enforcing the rules about protecting the park from the serious threat of fires, and just generally being fun to talk to. Between site 8 and 9 has best views of the mountains. Go somewhere else if you don't give a crap about burning down the forest and don't want to stick to rules set respect other campers.

The views coming up here were absolutely stunning. I told my daughter that this was a campground in the sky lol! So far up in the beautiful mountains and where the temperature was much cooler. We choose KOA bc they are easy to book, have a late check in and some nice amenities. This one had two hot tubs, a dog park , pancakes all you can eat for $3.25 and a pizza and wing place. We don't use most of the amenities bc we never stay long enough. But the dog park-Freckles love them and can run around in a safe and clean environment! Each KOA is so different. This one has the feel of a Rocky Mountain with rocks and gravel roads. Our site was very nice with full hook ups and a cement place to park. We would highly recommend this KOA!

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!

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!

Roomy enough for our RV, car, screen tent, chairs, etc. No hookups, but we enjoy dry camping, too, so it didn't matter. Loop C sites have electricity and water, but I believe you need to reserve those far in advance to get a chance to get one. Our site offered privacy, also, which was quite nice after visiting many campgrounds with sites right on top of each other. The only downside is that you can hear the highway noise. A bike trail runs through the campground which you can take around the lake and into Breckinridge if you want. Even with the traffic noise, I still will give this campground 5 stars.

Our campsite was perfect and up at the far / left end of the campground site. We had picturesque views at all hours of the day. The bathroom closest to our campground was just the potty portion, but there was a full bathroom just down the drive with showers and sinks and such. Our fellow campers were kind enough to rescue our tents and pin them down with rocks while we were out hiking (thank you, kind humans!). Our whole experience here was wonderful, and I would definitely return next time I'm in the area. The RV spots to be fair (as other reviewers mention) were more lackluster. The tent sites, especially at the outer edges, are where it's at!!
