Such a beautiful relaxing place. You can camp here(full hookups available) or tent camping. Lots of…read morespace, pretty clean. Upon arrival you will pay $12 entrance fee if you do not have a pass. You can either come for the day or plan a camping/boat trip here. If you plan on camping you really need to make reservations in advance. The spots fill up pretty fast. Lots of places to fish and you can even do paddle boarding, ride your bike, sun bathe, hike, whatever outdoorsy thing you like. This place is not too far from Denver and a gem. I highly recommend this state park.

Stayed here in a 43 ft fifth wheel Sept 2026…read more Chatfield is located far enough from the congestion of Denver and its burbs, yet within reasonable distance to any supplies, dining or entertainment you may desire. Mule deer are present in abundance. Be careful if you enter the park after dark. It's DARK!!Slow down and stay alert. The site we had was right by the shower/laundry facility in D area. We had a mule deer in the juniper in front of our site the night of our arrival. It was good but it did have daily traffic at the facility. Plus a common trail runs directly next. Convenient but not only to you. FHU sites worked as expected. Consistent power and good water pressure. Septic was threaded and sealed. Easy site entry/exit and setup. Laundry takes quarters. Machine to dispense said quarters is disabled due to theft. The office don't seem to have quarter rolls. Yeah, bring your own from in town. You need to reserve these early which makes it hard to stay at CO state parks, period. Also don't forget you need a SP annual pass or a per day admission fee. Do the math.

This park has everything! Cool Playground for the Kids, Tennis Courts, Basketball Courts, Lots of…read moreGreen Space, and Awesome Trails. It always seems busy, not too crazy, but it's obvious this is a favorite park for lots of families and those that keep an active lifestyle! I got a chance to walk some of the trails, and although it could get pretty hot in the sun (depending on the time of year/day), the shade from the trees are well worth the walk. Lots of runners, walkers, cyclists, and although I didn't see any, there are equestrians too. Watch out for horse poop! :) For the most part everyone seems to follow good trail etiquette and will let you know if they are going to pass. The kids love the playground, and if you like to shoot some hoops or play tennis, this place has everything. Note: parents/guardians need to watch their kids AND make sure they practice good etiquette themselves. If your kid is doing wrong, please discipline accordingly. Just because you kid is on the playground and throwing stuff they aren't supposed to (and you obviously know this is happening), do something about it. This really is an awesome park! Families and Active Peeps, this is your place!!!!

Nice park with playgrounds and walking paths. Parking is far from the fields, so if you have…read moremobility issues, be warned. I went to watch a senior softball game, so some people had difficulty getting from the lot on University down to the ball field. Another issue that surprised me was that the ball field was not very well kept. Although chalk outlines were new, the bases were not securely affixed to the ground, and there were uneven areas, including some holes. This caused some players to fall.
