“For a peaceful outdoor break”
“St. Vrain State Park is a family-friendly destination for visitors seeking a peaceful and simple outdoor break. It’s easy to reach along I-25 between Denver and Ft. Collins at Highway 119 (exit 240). Formerly named Barbour Ponds, this nature and people-friendly park offers 604 acres of land and 152 acres of water split among several ponds. It’s a great place for anglers, campers, photographers, birders, walkers and anyone who loves nature. Since 2006, Colorado State Parks added amenities like modern camping facilities, trail additions and fishing piers, with many more improvements on the way.”

St Vrain State Park is a small treasure amongst Colorado parks, close to I-25 and Boulder, we took advantage of the camping facilities and were pleasantly surprised with the park. Several ponds for fishing, and trails for easy and enjoyable dog walks. Campsites were close to the pond and have some level of hookups. We stayed here in an Airstream and would definitely stay again.
We stayed here for 2 nights to see a car show in Westminster and while exploring the Rocky Mountain National park.
The site we chose was a back in overlooking one of the many ponds in the park that was electric only, there is a dump station and potable water on site. The site was clean and level. The Ranger staff were friendly and helpful. there was a lot of road noise from the adjacent Interstate (I-25).
We would stay here again, but only if we needed to stay in the area as the cost is high.

We stayed at campsite 60 for 1 night then moved to campsite 30 which we had reserved months ago. 60 is on what seems to be a new side with full hookups. Campsite 30 only has electric but does have water available at pump on each end of loop. Very lovely area with plenty of trails around ponds. Several bathrooms scattered about & 1 very nice bathroom/shower facility. Showers are pay but not expensive & great hot water & pressure. Lots of birds & although we didn’t fish the ponds seem to be great for it. The only drawback was the interstate noise. We could drown it out with our fan or music but at times it was very loud. Park is close to plenty of shopping & the lovely town of Longmont. Overall this park is beautiful & well cared for. A gem in the middle of a fast growing area.

Right next to Interstate so would recommend only if you want that convenience ('cause it's noisy). Lots of rules and lots of bugs. Amenities don't match the price (coin op showers? c'mon). Wouldn't choose to stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at this state park. The sites were very level and the staff was very diligent in keeping the sites very clean. AT&T was super fast at 80Mbps DL/20 Mbps UL using a mobile router with no booster.

Stayed here for about a week in July 2019. The bugs were bad near the lake so bring bug spray. Lots of really nice walking trails for me and my dog and lots of places to put in if you have a paddleboard or kayak. One night there was a crazy wind storm that snapped 4 trees in half in a cottonwood grove near my campsite, so just be aware that wind can get bad in this area.
Scenery is really nice and connectivity is great. Probably the best dump station I've been to yet - clean, easy access, potable water.
The main drawback to this park is the highway noise. You're just off I-25, the main north-south interstate highway, so there's always traffic going by and there's always noise. I couldn't hear it if I was in my camper with the fan on, but if road noise bothers you just be aware going in that it's an issue.
Otherwise, sites are well-spaced, and there are lots of sites here that have waterfront views due to the sheer number of ponds in this park. Really very pretty. Sites are all level and have a shaded picnic table too.

Decent campsite facilities and in a convenient location, but way too close to very noisy I-25. This location is OK for an overnight while traveling through the area but why anyone would spend more than an overnight here is beyond me.
Cell service (VZ and ATT) were quite good.

Glad I was in an RV! The freeway noise would otherwise be bothersome. Great pull through site. Wish we had a kayak with being surrounded by these large ponds. Or had brought our bikes to ride all these paths. Next time.

Good flat, clean sites but no privacy and a lot of road noise. This is a good place to stop for a rest but not if you’re looking for a more scenic experience. Great mobile service too.
