Columbine Campground is exceptionally well maintained, with clean restrooms, attentive camp hosts, and thoughtful amenities like hand-washing stations and fire safety water. Many visitors appreciate the beautiful setting, ample shade, and the host's helpfulness. However, some campers noted noise from nearby ATV trails and close campsite proximity, which may impact the overall peaceful experience.

The camp host was great and everything was very clean. Probably one of the cleanest and most enjoyable visits we've had

Nice campground for tents and small RVs. Tough for larger rigs. Our site (18) was supposed to be for a 40 ft trailer with 2 vehicles. Not even remotely - we have a 27 ft and could barely get in the site with our truck parked sideways almost in the road. We had a hard time getting in and out of the site. We weren't the only ones. Most of the sites have level areas for a tent, but took quite a bit of leveling for our travel trailer.
But - the campsite was awesome. Our site backed up to woods with a lot of trees. Almost all the sites had a lot of shade, a fire pit and a small bbq suitable for small amount of charcoal.

Decent sites, most of them aren’t too close together (for a FS campground). The bathrooms were clean/ had TP, the host was friendly and helpful. The downside to this CG is that it is close to a lot of ATV/motorbike trails, which seems like a fun time, however lots of loud vehicles and clueless parents that let their kids tear thru the CG doing lap after lap on their motorized vehicles. Makes things dusty, loud and not the safest for dogs and small kids. I was there on a holiday weekend, to make things worse, and also encountered loud groups blasting music and having way more than 8 ppl per site. I would try this spot again for a non-holiday stay, enjoyed the proximity to good mtn biking and Blackhawk/Central City.

This was a great campground! The site we had was more secluded and plenty of shade to relax in!

Great campground close to Denver. We loved seeing the wildflowers at the Central City Cemeteries.

Park manager was super nice, very clean restrooms. Amazing tasting water (very glad we could get fresh water to drink). We had deer walk right behind our site and a friendly Raven and a cool looking Stellers Jay (bird) keeping us company!

This campsite is great on its own - easy location, clean vault toilets, friendly campsite host, proximity to Golden Gate Canyon State Park - but the nearby ATV course is a major drawback for anyone wanting to escape to quiet, peaceful nature. You can't hear the actual ATV course activity from the site, but riders zoom through the campgrounds all hours of the night and day, revving their engines and blasting loud music. They also don't slow down on the narrow, curvy lane from the course to the campsite, so there were several times we almost collided head-on with an ATV speeding up the road, who proceeded to honk, curse, and gesture at us. Their behavior was rude at best and dangerous at worst; I'm disappointed that neither the campsite host nor the law enforcement officers said anything to curb the bad behavior in and around the campgrounds. There were also RVs always running loud generators and blasting loud, tree-shaking party music, well beyond sundown. This is definitely a party campsite, NOT a nature campsite. Wish we would have known that in advance - we would have looked elsewhere.
