About This Campsite

Dakota Ridge RV Park

Nestled conveniently within reach of Golden and Denver, Dakota Ridge RV Park offers good connectivity for those looking to explore the area. The park provides a clean and well-kept environment with friendly and accommodating staff, making it an inviting stop for travelers. While it's more urban than some might expect from a traditional camping experience, its central location makes it a great hub for regional explorations.

Features and Considerations:

  • The park is known for its level concrete pads, which many guests find to be a welcome change from gravel lots.
  • A biker bar, "Dirty Dogz Roadhouse," is located across the street, which some visitors find entertaining although the music can be loud, especially during weekends.
  • Narrow sites might limit your ability to set up outdoor seating comfortably.
  • Internet service is available, though its reliability can vary.
  • While the park generally maintains a clean appearance, some areas like the common grass may appear less maintained.

Overall Thoughts:

Dakota Ridge RV Park is a mixed bag with its urban setting and certain noise factors, but it serves well as a base for regional travel. If you're planning a visit to enjoy local attractions and appreciate friendly staff and cleanliness, this could be a suitable choice. However, if a quiet, expansive camping environment is what you seek, you might want to explore other options in the area.

We stayed a couple of weeks and had everything we needed. The staff are particularly friendly and the park is clean and well kept. We particularly enjoyed a good level concrete pad after months on gravel in other sites in Colorado! Yes there is a biker bar across the road which we found entertaining and they serve a good pub meal. I recommend a visit. Main cons were that the sites are a very narrow and there is a fair bit of road noise from Colfax. Our site A06 - we had a good bit of space compared to other sites - but most sites had basically no room to sit outside your camper and enjoy. On the whole a pleasant stay and a great location to visit Golden and Denver. Good value for money. We will come back if in the area.

There is a biker bar directly across the street and any review that does not mention it is probably fake. Live and recorded very loud rock music directed at the resort started early Saturday and Sunday morning and did not stop until 10pm. The music could be heard loud and clear from every spot in the RV park as if you were at an outdoor concert venue. Although the music stopped at 10pm, the bar did not actually close until 2am which meant "loud pipes save lives" motorcycles were pulling out well into the night. The RV park staff was nice enough to relocate us on our second night but we could continue to hear the noise. To the staff reading this: Plant some tall bushes and install a decent sound barrier.

The staff is VERY friendly and accommodating. Internet is average depending on the time of day. The sites need major renovation. Instead of having one side to yourself, you share with the folks next store, a common area. The common area grass is pretty much dead, not level, and the rock is not maintained. Overall the park is clean and our RV site was level, but you can see that there is no major effort to update or maintain. Good location for us near family, but an alternative park might be a good idea to check for.

Expensive and urban. Not the camping we usually do, but we stayed here a week because it is centrally located to all the people we came to see, and was a great hub to drive out from in every direction. Close access to all the thoroughfares we traveled all week. But the campers are so close together and crammed in on narrow concrete pads, where we were we didn't even have a space to set lawn chairs +not that we had time to just relax, as busy as our week was, and it was very very hot outside too. The view we had of the full moon was above a very lit-up industrial business behind our camper...but we chose the back row (sight unseen) as opposed to a spot nearer the front where the bands at the biker bar across the street are known to be extremely loud. We could even hear it clear in the back with windows closed, but it didn't keep us awake. It may not be ideal, but Dakota Ridge served us well for what we needed on this family and friends reunion trip.

I can say, once we booked our site for Labor Day weekend and THEN read the reviews, I was worried BUT I can honestly say, this was a great campground to stay at and we THOROUGHLY enjoyed it! Staff was very nice and campground facilities were very well kept! The Dirty Dogz Roadhouse and their live music all weekend was a highlight as well! It was like we were at a music festival!! We will definitely be back!
