Thanks.

Directly in town is tough. There's a couple of KOAs outside of town on I-70 a ways, and there's Cherry Creek State Park, Chatfield State Park, and I think one "ok" RV park over near Golden which is tight spaces and expensive, on the far west side of the metro area.
Frankly other than the State Parks and if you have access, the military parks, there's nothing else I would recommend staying at inside the Denver Metro area. The rest are dumps.
The independents south of the metro are high priced for what they are.
Most Denverites get far away from Denver metro when we want to go camping.
State Parks book real early if you're going to try that route. Months in advance works best.
Sorry I don't have more happy news. Denver Metro isn't very good for camping at all.
