West Chicago Creek

I love this campground! Tucked out of the way, it's always clean and quiet. Restrooms were also clean, no real smell (pit toilets, so it's never no smell). The bear boxes were big enough to hold all our snacks for the weekend, and the spot had enough space for all three tents.

The creek behind the site is great for hiking, and it's close enough to Idaho Springs for day trips.

This campground is conveniently located for both blue sky and guanella pass. Facilities were clean and well kept. Campsites are a little cramp- you are kind of right on top of your neighbors, so noise and solitude might be a problem. Easy to find sites and camp host did rounds regularly. Would stay here again!

Camp host was super kind and friendly. Made sure we knew no wood burning fires were allowed (fire pit was tied off as an extra precaution) and how to properly use the provided bear box. Bathrooms were clean. Sites were so close together that we could hear full conversations. Our tent site was slanted and rocky which was tricky. Most other campgrounds we've been to have level tent pads. Georgeous area and nice to be close to Mt. Blue Sky. Just a few unfortunate things that make us unlikely to return.

What great memories made. 2nd time at this campground. James the camp host is an amazing guy and keeps the grounds clean and peaceful!

The center loop site are very close to neighbors but we had a great time! Walk down the hill to play in the creek (good for kids). Lots of shade at the site and big enough for two large tents.

A small campground that is quiet and so peaceful! The road to get to it is dirt but well maintained (does have a few switchback turns so be mindful if you have a long camper). The host was incredibly friendly and helpful!
Our only “ick” was the smell of the bathrooms when the wind was blowing towards us. Nothing can be done about it-it’s just the way it is but just something we noticed a few times.
Highly recommend a stay here!

nice quiet campground, #7 has little shade, wish they had water

Beautiful little, quiet campground sitting in an aspen grove. You can hear the creek at your campsite. I saw moose and lots of hummingbirds. The campground host is a nice guy, helpful and friendly.

We always enjoy West Chicago Creek campground. It is always clean and very peaceful. Restroom are clean. Our campsite was close to the creek. We arrange our trip in the middle of the week so the campground is usually very quiet. It is our go to place when we just want to get away from the city for some peace and quiet

This is a great place for a quick getaway from the City. Just about an hour away but feels fully disconnected at the campground, the sounds of the creek are a great bonus for relaxing .Not many sites and probably small for longer trailers and RV’s. Idaho Springs is really close as well as some hiking right out of the campground. 2nd time here and we will be back.
