Beautiful area and views. easy hike in with trash recepticles, and bathrooms. Geared to the weekender who just wants to get away close to the metro. Even saw many family with infants. No campfires or hammocks is a bummer but understandable. The sawmill trail is a good 3.3mile loop with little streams interesting rock outcroppings and blooming cactus.

There are only ten campsites here to the south side of the parky lot. It is about 1.3 miles from the parking lot to the camp ground. It is incredibly pretty particularly during wild flower season. We watched fire works here before the 4th of July. We also watched multiple thunderstorms hit Denver. There is an amazing view of Denver and the plains. No fires are allowed here so you need to bring a stove or equilivant to cook. There are picnic tables at every site and a port a loo. There are also bear boxes for food.

This is one of my favorite campgrounds in Jefferson County. The hike in is really easy-my son did it did it carrying all his own (ultralight) gear just before he turned 6. There are bear boxes at the campground for your food, and the views from the trail are gorgeous. Also, you can't beat the price!

It was beautiful and peaceful despite it being Labor Day weekend. Do be aware you have to have a reservation as well as you'll backpack in about a mile to the campground. There is a lock box on the backside of the info board at the parking lot to permit your car overnight.

Great hike in campground. Very quiet and secluded. There are only a dozen or so sites and you have to get a permit in Golden to camp here. This is out getaway site when we want to go camping without driving forever. Even though it is hike in hike out children can make the journey and I have seen many having fun with their families at this site.
