Campground Nightly rates for Standard 90-day bookings
*Colorado and Jefferson County Sales Tax of 4.5% will be added to the prices listed above. Guests with tax-exempt status will need to provide documentation and book over the phone to have sales tax waived.
*Please be sure to book enough campsites to accommodate all people and vehicles in your party. Additional people beyond the site limit will not be permitted to camp at the lake unless an additional site is available and booked and additional guests relocate. We strongly support carpooling. Extra vehicles will be charged $10 per night for an overflow pass and are required to park in the Brookie Lot, not on the campsite.
Guests who would like to book more than two sites (whether standard or group sites) for the same dates must either book a private event area or have more than one group coordinator to complete the additional bookings. Guests will require more than one coordinator if desiring to book more than two standard sites, for any night.
