Kelly Dahl is such a great location only 30 minutes down Boulder Canyon to Boulder. Most sites have shade trees and all have great treed mountain scape views. Bathrooms are well kept and there is a water hydrant for use. Have to say that Mike and his wife, the camp hosts were one of the biggest positives for this camp site. They manage the facility extremely well and were super helpful in helping us fit out the rest of our stay with reservations with late cancellation sites when the online portal showed full when we were booking. They also dealt with a very difficult situation and removed a disruptive group when necessary for the enjoyment of other guests. Thanks for helping our stay to be a memorable one!

Great Campsite with a welcoming host. We loved being immersed in the Rockies and everything it has to offer
@LynneB1904966 · Camped on Sep 28, 2023 at Campsite #23
Very clean and well-spaced bathrooms! If you are looking for quieter sections in terms of road noise, try the back loop. It was nice to walk all three loops after traveling all day.
@BaileyS51C90BA · Camped on Sep 23, 2023 at Campsite #41
Very pretty area and the campsite was clean and had a huge table. The restrooms were very clean, even smelled nice! Our toddler loved the playground as well. Overall, a great experience.

Great location
@GrantB37C511B1 · Camped on Aug 22, 2023 at Campsite #26
Kelly Dahl is a nice campground to get away from the heat of summer and be near Nederland and Blackhawk Colorado. It is quiet during the week and busy on the weekends. Vault toilets and drinking water are well placed around the campground. Several camp sites look to be so far out of level that they are unusable for RV camping.I can recommend the following: 022, 024, 025, 026, 027, 031, 032, 035

Very clean campground, friendly hosts, and of course a great location close to home in Boulder and the Indian Peaks!
@CindyM6464978 · Camped on Aug 14, 2023 at Campsite #41
I reserved my first site based on a map; the location showed it to be on the perimeter of the campground, so I assumed it would be more quiet and forested. There were no trees on the site (#41), so no shade. Worse though: an RV nearby had their generator running (for at least 2 hours) when I returned from my hike, stopped for 30 mins, then continued running it for at least another 2 hours. I packed up and moved to a more beautiful, shaded, and quiet site (26?) that evening to get away from the noise.

For the first time we had a really poor experience at this campground. (We have been camping at this campground for over 10 years) One site had more than the 8 people that were allowed, this meant the site was over crowded and very loud.
@MargaretC31174 · Camped on Aug 2, 2023 at Campsite #26
Great views!
@ScottH7806643 · Camped on Jul 27, 2023 at Campsite #29
Excellent camp hosts! Clean campsites and bathrooms. Three miles from grocery store in Nederland.
@Charlotte41078 · Camped on Jul 17, 2023 at Campsite #41
This is a beautiful area and not too crowded at the height of summer. There are bear boxes at each site and several trash bins, water dispensers and very clean bathrooms. However, there was background noise the entire time from two nearby highways and people running their generators all night. There was also lots of trash at our site, including multiple paper handouts on the ground for reviews of the campsite. We were also disappointed by the lack of trees at our spot, relative to the nice sites around us. We reserved online in advance and could not see photos of the sites.
@CharlesR973079 · Camped on Jul 17, 2023 at Campsite #28
This was a nice place. Off the Highway, so we didnt hear any cars drive by. The restrooms were exceptionally clean and even smelled good. We had little to no cell service at our campsite, but could walk to an area that did have a little service.
@Georgeg7674651 · Camped on Jul 6, 2023 at Campsite #33
Friendly hosts. Quiet camping. Clean bathrooms. Pretty spot
@YvonneK7671872 · Camped on Jul 3, 2023 at Campsite #36
Bathrooms were cleanest we’ve ever seen!
@JAMESS8693241 · Camped on Jun 26, 2023 at Campsite #22
Firewood a little pricey at $9.00 a bundle - Latrines were very clean, not smelly, very few bugs.
@LindaG8382093 · Camped on Jun 22, 2023 at Campsite #44
Nicely kept campground and a very convenient location.
@JaredGC0375F03 · Camped on Jun 13, 2023 at Campsite #35
Went in the middle of the week. It was great. Clean bathrooms and the bear boxes are nice. Moose went through our site so that was fun.
@Alexandra36004 · Camped on Jun 11, 2023 at Campsite #41
Campsite was in good condition, and there are a lot of trees. But there's NOTHING in walking distance besides the highway. Pretty much all the surrounding land/roads were private property, so you can walk around the campground or along the highway. There's hiking in the area, but you have to drive there.
@StevenG8234425 · Camped on Jun 10, 2023 at Campsite #43
Well-maintained campground. Our family had a great time.
@MaryL7701176 · Camped on Jun 9, 2023 at Campsite #38
Kelly Dahl campground is beautiful and very well-maintained. The hosts were helpful and friendly, and they kept the bathrooms pristine! Campsite #36 was too crooked/steep for our pop-up camper, but we were able to combine with our family at their campsite, #38, which was a large and even space with a nice big picnic table. Our kids really enjoyed the playground in the campground. Also, we visited Nederland and the Mud Lakes open space park.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
