Situated between the mountains of Summit County and the bustling excitement of Denver. 141 full-service and premium sites available year round are level and paved. Pull-through and back-in sites are both available.
Dakota Ridge RV Resort is conveniently located in Golden – the gateway to both Denver and the beautiful Rocky Mountains. With easy access to I-70, Dakota Ridge RV Resort enables you to enjoy adventurous mountain daytrips or culture-filled city visits.
People that take care of you are so friendly. So pleasant. From the phone reservation to checking in. To the man escorting you to your site. It's a lost art, but these folks found it. Very tight campground, but wonderfully kept. I'll keep this one on my go to list.
Really nice RV park. Plenty of room for our 41 ft Super C, 30 ft trailer and Jeep. The pull through was very level with concrete pad with full hookups. The roads in the park were icy and made it difficult to get our RV out so we should have had tire snow socks. Will have them next time we return. Thanks to the two staff members for helping us get out. Really appreciate your help.
Honest/Factual Review from our perspective: (keep in mind it will differ for you depending on where you are parked and when. Understand that this is OUR experience.)
Stayed 1 month. April 25th-May21st= $2,300
Site C2.
Positives:
Beautiful surroundings. Had zero problems with the staff, and the landscaping is upkept very well. They pick up your trash (in a bag, set it in front of camper by street). We really appreciate their hard work.
Great concrete slab to park on. Nice picnic benches. Plenty of trash receptacles for pet waste and garbage.
Negatives:
The biggest issue we had was Dirty Dogs Roadhouse, the bar directly across the street. Obviously, depending on where you're parked and what day/time you're staying there, this is a huge problem or a very small one. I'll get into specifics later.
Standing water in front of our rv steps. No dog run (it says there's one, but there is not.) Hot tub is permanently shut down. Showers are questionable. We did not use the laundry room. Gym is tiny, not really a gym. Picnic benches are on a hill, makes it hard to sit in them without it starting to topple over.
Sites are close together.
Dirty Dogs Roadhouse Specifics according to our experience and time there:
The 1st two weeks were live concerts, extremely loud where we were. I mean, echoing throughout RV loud. When the thunderstorms hit, that's when they finally got quiet. Warm and sunny? Expect music to be playing. Various live concerts throughout the week= extremely loud. Worst on the weekends.
You will hear engines revving, a lot. Lots of respectful bikers, lots of disrespectful ones, too. (Some hotshot who think their car is the coolest also thoroughly enjoyed blasting their mufflers for the world to hear.)
For people who don't mind noise, this won't bother you. For those looking for peace and quiet, it's a major problem. There were 1 or 2 days when they did not play music during the week. They had many events while we were there.
We are quiet, private people. We wanted a peaceful/blissful mountain experience, and we are from out of state. We knew nothing about Colfax or the bar.
If not for the bar, we'd give it 5 stars due to our needs and positives.
(There were a few awesome bands. Just wish the bar was located elsewhere.)
