Camp Dick Campground

Camp Dick Campground belongs to the federal side of Colorado camping, close to Lyons and managed under Roosevelt National Forest. It sits about 39 miles northwest of downtown Denver as the crow flies, with Lyons as the nearest supply town on our board.

Campers rate it 4.6 of 5 across 248 reviews on RVParks.us, our sister directory, where the photo sets and firsthand reports live.

Getting there is the easy part: the run points up US-36 and into the Peak to Peak country and it's close enough that an after-work Friday start still lands you at camp in daylight. Traffic is the only variable that matters this close in, so mind the metro rush windows and the trip stays painless.

It sits near 8,643 feet, high enough that summer nights drop hard after sunset. Shoulder season here is gorgeous and lightly booked; just confirm the operating dates before a spring or fall trip.

Set expectations before you pack: federal campgrounds mostly run dry, meaning no hookups at the site. Arrive with full fresh tanks and charged batteries, know your generator's posted hours, and plan tank capacity around the length of the stay. The rigs in our fleet list tank sizes plainly, and we'll match you to one that can go the distance off-grid.

Booking a Site Here

Sites here book through recreation.gov on a rolling window, and summer weekends vanish within minutes of opening. Set a calendar reminder for the morning your window releases and be logged in early. First come first served loops, where they exist, fill by Friday noon in July.

Pairing It With a Camper

From the Denver metro, plan on it as a close-in trip: it sits inside the delivery radius quoted on many of our listings, so a trailer can be waiting at your site before you leave work. Reserve the site in your own name first, then match the rig to the pad length and hookups. Our camper listings state length, tanks and power draw plainly, and we answer campground fit questions all day.
