State Parks Reservation Policy
Reservation policy - Some State Parks do not have campsites available
for reservations during the off season, but allow camping on a first-come,
first-served basis. Some campgrounds are closed completely during the
off season. Only cabins, yurts and a limited number of campsites are reserved
during winter.
Reservation Window - Reservations can be made a maximum of six months
in advance of arrival date, depending on the parks open date. If six
months in advance falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, you may call
on the next business day to make your reservation. If campsites are
available, a reservation can be made a minimum of three days prior to
the arrival date.
Cabin/yurt Reservations – Cabin and yurt reservations are accepted
year round following the six month maximum and three day minimum windows.
Payment Policy – All camping and reservation fees must be paid in
FULL in advance of occupancy or use of park facilities. Payment Methods
– Payments can be made by Visa, Master Card, Discover, check, money
order, traveler's check or cash. Internet reservation payments can be
made with credit card only.
Confirmation – Once your reservation is completed, you will be given
a reservation number. This number will be used to reference your reservation
when calling to change or cancel your reservation through the Central
Reservation Office.
Discounts – If you are an Aspen Leaf Pass holder, you are eligible
for camping discounts at individual campsites, Sun. - Thurs. excluding
holidays. The discount does not apply to fees for cabins or yurts. If
making an Internet reservation, an Aspen Leaf Pass holder will have
to call the Central Reservation Office during call center hours to request
an adjustment of fees to apply the discount to the reservation. The
fee adjustment will be credited back to the credit card used for original
purchase.
Change Policy – There will be a $6 NON-REFUNDABLE transaction fee
for any changes made to a reservation. All changes must be made through
the Central Reservation Office up to the arrival date, and must be made
within the same park. Campers may not make reservation changes after
the reservation has started.
Holiday Cancellation/Transfer Fee – When a reservation includes a
holiday weekend, there will be no refunds given for any transfers or
changes made to the original reservation arrival date.
Cancellations – All cancellations must be made through the Central
Reservation Office. To cancel, please call 1-800-678-2267 outside the
Denver area, or 303-470-1144 during business hours. If a reservation
is cancelled 14 days or more prior to the arrival date, the camping
fee will be refunded less the $8 NON-REFUNDABLE reservation fee and
a $6 cancellation fee. If a reservation is cancelled 13 days or less
prior to the arrival date, the $8 reservation and the first night's
camping fee are NON-REFUNDABLE. Due to the Central Reservation Office
being closed on weekends and holidays, when 13 days in advance of arrival
date falls on a weekend or holiday, the reservation must be cancelled
the previous business day to avoid forfeiting the first night's camping
fee. If canceling a reservation after your date of arrival or departing
early from the park, then the park must process a request for refund.
The refund will be based upon the number of nights left on the reservation
less the cancellation fee and first night's camping fee. A refund check
will be processed and will take 4-6 weeks for delivery.
Refunds – When a reservation is cancelled through the Central Reservation
Office, a credit is applied to the credit card used for the original
purchase. If the reservation was paid by check, money order, traveler's
check or cash, a refund check will be processed and will take about
4-6 weeks to receive. If the refund request is submitted to and processed
by a park area, then only a check refund will be processed which takes
about 4-6 weeks. The appropriate cancellation and transfer/change fees
will be deducted from your refund.
Unreserved campsites – Campsites that are not reserved are offered
on a first come/first serve basis payable at the park.
Handicap Sites - HA sites are handicap accessible sites that could
have a paved or gravel walkway, elevated fire rings and table extensions
and are relatively close to the restrooms. These sites can be reserved
by anyone. The HD handicap designated sites have the same amenities,
but can ONLY BE RESERVED BY CUSTOMERS WHO POSSESS A VALID HANDICAP LICENSE
PLATE OR PLACARD. This information will be confirmed by a Park Ranger.
Emergency Closures – In the event of an emergency park closure, Colorado
State Parks will attempt to notify customers and make other camping
arrangements, or process a refund.
Disclaimer – Colorado State Parks reserves the right, when necessary,
to modify any reservation policies.
