Chapman Campground — Hotel in Contiguous United States

The BEST campground we've visited in Colorado. It is huge, we had to drive to some friends campsites. You can hear & often see the Frying Pan River. Some sites are closer to the river than others. Many of us slept longer with the soothing sounds of the water.

Kayaking, paddle boarding, walking, hiking, driving this area was a treat for us. The campfires were a great end of a fab day. Traffic on I70 added an hour to our drive from Denver. But, it was worth it!

5 Stars to the Camp hosts, husband/wife team, their daughter/friend hosts were awesome, friendly & informative.

My only caveat, Recreation.gov did not show a photo of site #61, it turned out 2 floors, 1 for picnic table & campfire, the lower portion for our camper. Not the best. We scouted, preferring flatter...

Looking for peaceful? Looking to unwind and decompress from reality for a bit? Looking for beautiful views, or peaceful sounds of river to help you relieve the stress?

Dozens of “back country” sites I’ve visited and Chapman easily places in the Top 3.

We went during the week. Monday thru Thursday. Active but not to active. Quite enough to have your peace. Sites spread far enough apart you aren’t sitting on top of your neighbors.

Scenery, off road trails, hiking, big Reservoir, plenty of river spots for kids to play. Ample fishing on the Frying Pan river. This place has it all.

Also- cleanest vault bathrooms you’ve ever seen. And great...

Stunning drive up to this campground! You lose cell service about 50 mins out but the gorgeous drive makes up for it. Winding through mountains and passing Reudi Reservoir really make it special. The campground itself was quiet and beautiful with its own small reservoir that we caught a lot of fish in and did some kayaking. Many of the sites are out in the open with little shade, but there are a few in loop F that are set back in the aspens that are more private. We were in one of those and had deer passing behind us on multiple occasions! The bathrooms were also truly the cleanest I have ever seen at a campsite, and I've been to a lot of them....
