Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon sits at an elevation of nearly 10,000 feet in beautiful Black Hawk, Colorado. It's within an hour of the Denver Metro area and features 31 full hookups campsites. The park is big-rig accessible and pet friendly, except in the main office. Luxury resort amenities offered include a well-stocked convenience and liquor store and onsite movie rentals. It also has all your basic amenities like restrooms with hot showers and laundry facilities. The park is close to all of the exciting attractions Denver has to offer, like Union Station, 16th Street Mall, and tons of awesome breweries. Across the street, the Gilpin County Community Center features a pool with a water slide, perfect for the kids or the kids-at-heart. Hope to see you soon!

Very laid back with all the amenities you could ask for including a gas station, grocery store, and lots of trees. Only probables was the small size of our site, but otherwise great.
