I had an amazing time at Standley Lake Campground. Highly recommend reserving a bell tent ($55/night) because when you arrive the tent is already set up and they have fire pits, a picnic table and cots. We put 2 large cots together and put a foam mattress on top. The bathrooms are better than most you'd imagine at a campsite, no pit toilets or porta potties. The scenery is really beautiful and the lake is just a dirt path away. Another great thing is it's not a huge trek to get there. It's off of a regular road like a park. There's stores and restaurants, gas stations, etc about 5 mins away. My usual gripe with camping is treking up a mountain with bad cell service and having to set up a tent when I get there. I don't like feeling out of my element and exhausted. This set up was perfect because that was taken care of. This was my first time staying here and I plan on coming back every year.

I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the time we spent together at that amazing place. Coming from Las Vegas, we don't often see such beautiful scenery, so it was truly special for us. Spending the night there with my family was a unique and unforgettable experience. We made the most of the sunny day, capturing memories with countless photos. It was a day filled with love, joy, and new adventures that we'll always cherish.

4 stars for lack of more electric hookup sites and no swimming. Great location for lots to do otherwise and there is a pool within a mile of here We camped here for 2 nights with our 5th wheel camper. It's a really beautiful park with an amazing view of the Rockies. They had goats grazing while we were there as part of a nature initiative to clear weeds. The lake does not allow swimming, and the campground although it has really nice pull through camp sites with picnic tables and a fire pit, only provides 3 spots that can be rented with electric and water hook up. Generators are allowed but cannot be over 30db. There is opportunity for lots of paddle boarding, kayaking, and boating but you have to have your boat properly inspected and sanitized because of zebra mussels. Plan to do that in advance. You also need to have a permit to boat, board or kayak here. Check their website for more details. They have a nature center which is an additional interesting place to visit while here, and you can always take wonderful walks with the gorgeous views. This campground is 1.5 hr drive from Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain National Park. (I included some photos of that too.)

We were over on this side of town and looking for a quick place to picnic. Unfortunately, a day pass was $7, but the ranger was so nice and pointed us to a FREE parking lot just a little ways down W. 100th Ave. We parked and walked about halfway down to the lake to a picnic bench in the shade near the showers. We had a lovely time!
