Cherry Creek State Park Campground
Aurora, Colorado · State campground · books through cpwshop.com, up to six months out.
Cherry Creek State Park Campground is part of Colorado's state park system, near Aurora. It sits about 10 miles southeast of downtown Denver as the crow flies, with Aurora as the nearest supply town on our board. It runs about 102 sites.
Campers rate it 4.6 of 5 across 9541 reviews on RVParks.us, our sister directory, where the photo sets and firsthand reports live.
Getting there is the easy part: the run points down I-25 with a turn east into the Arkansas Valley 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.
At roughly 5,593 feet, the season runs longer here than at the high country camps, and spring or fall trips stay comfortable long after the mountain loops close for the year.
Hookup-wise, Colorado state parks are the best-equipped public camping in the region, and many loops here offer electric or full hookups. Those sites disappear first when the booking window opens, so grab them the same morning if your rig or your crew depends on power. Water and dump stations round out the infrastructure.

Booking a Site Here
Reservations run through Colorado Parks and Wildlife, bookable up to six months ahead. State parks carry the best hookup infrastructure in Colorado, so the full hookup loops go first. A daily vehicle pass or annual parks pass rides on top of the site fee.
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.

What Campers Say
★★★★☆This used to be the perfect nearby spot to watch the stars and the moon, but now you can't be here after 10pm unless you're camping, which is a bummer. That said, it's still a great place to sit by the water and read.
★★★★★I needed nature. Indoors for three days, I needed to stretch and move. They say it is good for the parasympathetic nervous system. I don't know about that, but I felt flattened out and stiff. I was not prepared for the gorgeous prairie with the grasses and occasional wetlands populated by birds.
★★★★★One of the top five parks I've ever visited, and I've been to a lot of places. It's amazing how close it is to the city, yet it feels so peaceful. No traffic noise, no sirens, just calm and nature. The sunsets are truly breathtaking. You can hear geese and ducks flying by while you're grilling.
