Cherry Creek State Park
Camping · Editor rating, not a user review
The practical campground for Denver: a reservoir park, not a mountain trailhead.
Cherry Creek is the big reservoir park southeast of Denver, with campgrounds, a swim beach, and enough space that it does not feel like a city park.
It is outside the neighborhoods, which is the point. Wind on the water can make the beach a short visit. Book the campground; day use still works if you only want a picnic and a walk.
