Chapman Campground is a family friendly campground that is near and dear to our hearts. It is maintained beautifully by the friendly camp hosts. The bathrooms are immaculate.

We had a fantastic time here! The grounds are very well kept and absolutely beautiful. Most of the hikes are a drive away but there is some accessible from the campground itself. We saw deer every day, and of course lots of chipmunks and birds. A few marmot as well! Definitely worth coming back

Best campground in CO!

Great campsite. We had enough space for 2 people and a dog. We were on a hill that had the most amazing view of the reservoir and the mountains. The bathrooms were maintained nice and clean. We saw a few Rangers come and check on everyone. Parking and accessibility were great. I will be returning!

The camp hosts were very open, knew the area, and helped with selecting the best site that was available.They kept watch to see me go out, but mainly that I came back in as I as alone and doing hikes.Great stay

The fishing was amazing, we caught 5 fish. The views were beautiful and the drive to Maroon Bells wasnt bad at all. 40 minutes to the nearest gas station was perfect and the camp bathrooms were extremely clean. We will definitely be coming back.

We had a great time. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful. The campground was clean as well as the bathrooms. We will be back next year.

The upper camp host, maybe Patty?, was awesome. Super friendly and helpful and....happy!

We loved our campsite in loop E near the reservoir. We had a level site, trail to the lake, and good sun exposure to keep our solar panels charging our batteries in our rv. We were there during the week, and we had many open sites around us, now that the kids are back in school and families can only camp on weekends. The outhouses were spotlessly clean and well-supplied. We were very happy to be there.

Our host was very accommodating and friendly. They helped us to get settled in to a campground spot that better suited our needs for our family. Thank you for making our stay one that was memorable.

We had a site with riverside access-beautiful walk on small trails alongside the river and ample space between other camp sites. Camp host, Patty, was very helpful when we arrived. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked.

G Loop - 67. First time camping at Chapman. Hope to he back many more times to this beautiful and well kept property. The G loop sites are well spaced and plenty of trees. Very peaceful.

Beautiful, clean, and well maintained.
@scotts8955128 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #33
This was one of the cleanest and beautiful campsites we have ever been to. The camp hosts, Rob and Kay, were warm, friendly and diligent in their work at cleaning the restrooms, cleaning and maintaining the grounds, and interacting with campers. We will be back.
@MelindaB745247 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #76
Such a gorgeous campground and an amazing site!
@MelindaB745247 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #11
This is a gorgeous site and perfect for short R.V.s or tents. This site is not on a loop so you will have to go to the end near the toilets to turn around for your rig to sit with doors facing the river and/or to exit. Dont take anything bigger than 24 down the road to this campsite. The path from the parking spot to the fire pit and picnic table has natural steps so definitely dont plan for toddlers, wheelchairs, or persons with ambulatory issues to comfortably navigate this site. The site is right on the river and very large. Loved it!
@BRIANC8885365 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #49
We had a 21' tent trailer on Loop F, site 49. This area is removed from the reservoir camp loops and is very quiet and relaxing. Fishing in the Frying Pan River is available on the East side of the loop and kayak, paddle board, fishing and canoeing are all within 5 minutes at Chandler Reservoir. The campground is managed by American Land and Leisure, the bathrooms are very clean and well-maintained, the grounds are mowed and trimmed. The campground offers easy access to hiking and 4-wheel trails. Unlicensed ATVs are not allowed. The area is very busy on weekends but offers good access during the week.

Bathrooms: excellent Site: super clean Bears: totally there and will get into any unlocked vehicles including campers. My husband forgot to lock his truck and we woke up to all the doors open and no crumbs left in the truck. It couldve been way worse. My car had a bear paw mark on it but it was locked so they were SOL.
@DustinR896B552 · Camped on Jun 18, 2024 at Campsite #66
Great campsites and big campsites so you have space. Wonderful area and great wildlife. We saw our first wild moose. Highly recommend.
@BarbaraD378395 · Camped on Jun 17, 2024 at Campsite #82
Cleanest campground bathrooms ever!!! Thank you campground hosts!
@RoseRD4B418ABB · Camped on Jun 16, 2024 at Campsite #6
This is definitely the best spot in Loop A. 100ft away from the resevoir, a slight walk from the parking lot so you're not seeing cars, a direct path to the water/dam...we loved this spot. Would absolutely pick again. Only downfall was no trees around the picnic table so bring a canopy.
@JosephT3B2AF20 · Camped on Jun 9, 2024 at Campsite #75
Great place to stay. Staff does an excellent job keeping the toilets clean.

@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!!!
