Golden Riverfront Campground

Golden Riverfront is a beautiful campsite in a stunning location, close to Golden which is a lovely friendly town. Right from checking in where we were met with a very friendly helpful staff member who showed us our pitch. The toilets and washroom are lovely, very clean with free hot showers and a family room with shower, sink and toilet in it. There is also an airbnb above. The serviced RV sites are great, they feel very private and we were on the edge so we had a lovely view of the landing field. The whole site feels very peaceful and relaxing with stunning mountain views and very few mosquitos at all. All in all we had a perfect stay in Golden Riverfront and if we come back to this area in the future (we are from UK) we will definately come back here. Thank you

Clean newer bathroom facilities. Showers were hot and free. 24hr laundry and dump area on site. Treed in site with full services and no issues. Was quiet for us and enjoyed the view of the open field with mountain backdrop. Easy to get into town and access to all major routes for day trips. Accommodating hours and easy to arrange doggy daycare when we did some day trips. Fenced and shaded area for pups. Mosquitoes were NEXT LEVEL. Had to set up a serious bug coil defense and bathed in spray. Sometimes couldn't be outside without being eaten alive! Enjoyed our stay. Don't blame the mosquitoes - come prepared.

The only real downside of this campsite was the overwhelming number of mosquitoes , even with insect repellent, they just wouldn’t stop biting. It definitely cut our night short since we had to go into our tent early, and we left earlier than planned too. That said, the location itself is great , close to a small town for quick supply runs, and they have a clean, free washroom with showers, which isn’t always the case in other spots. If it weren’t for the mosquitoes, this would’ve been an ideal place to camp.

This is a beautiful campground with wonderful amenities like a very clean wash house with showers, toilets and ample counter space. The office staff was helpful and friendly and there were lots of games etc that were free to use. Yes, there are mosquitoes, and lots of them. Just come prepared and you’ll be fine. When it was windy and sunny there were NO bugs and I happily laid out on the deck of the yurt. We originally booked a tent spot but realized that our tent jumped ship at some point on our trip, luckily they had a yurt available. The yurt was pretty cozy, there’s a bed, bedside table and a little loveseat. It was raining the first night and there was a drip that came inside, but otherwise it was pretty cool. The views are stunning and it looks like an awesome place to bring your dog. They have a doggy daycare which we didn’t use, but thought it was cool. They were also offering donation based yoga classes which we didn’t take part in, but thought I’d mention.

FALSE ADVERTISING! There isn’t any riverfront camping or view. We drove 7 miles outside Golden hoping to camp near the River. Very disappointed. Also, no Internet. The washrooms were decent but you have to continually push the knob to keep the shower flowing. Nice privacy between the sites but all require a long walk to the washroom. The Host was very nice but we won’t go back.

It’s false advertising to call yourself a Riverfront Campground and not one single site anywhere near the River. Very disappointing. $48 a night for 30 amp and water. Sites are nice and secluded. A bit of a hike to the Shower which we haven’t tried yet as we’ve only just arrived. The host was courteous. It’s a bit of a drive from Golden. Approximately 7 miles.

We stayed here for one night—thankfully not longer. It was one of the worst camping experiences I’ve ever had. Our original campsite was filthy, with trash scattered everywhere. They don’t clean and maintain their sites at all. Despite arriving during office hours, no staff were present, and it took dozens of calls before someone finally answered. Though they offered to send someone to clean, the site itself was completely different from what we booked. We ended up switching to a non-serviced site, but the problems continued. The area was infested with mosquitoes that no repellent—sprays, creams, or coils—could keep away. To make matters worse, the entire large campsite had only one restroom facility. I would never recommend this place.

It's surprising to see so many one-star reviews about mosquitoes, something unavoidable in nature. My husband and I spent a night here on our way back to Calgary, and we had a great experience. The campsite was more private than we anticipated, and the location is stunning. Yes, there were plenty of mosquitoes, but that's out of the campsite's control. During our dinner in Golden, we heard many people mentioning how bad the mosquitoes are this year (so obviously it’s not just that one campsite) Just come prepared, and you'll enjoy your stay!
