Reservation Window
Reservations can be made a maximum of six months in advance of arrival date, depending on the park's opening date.

Payment Policy
All camping and reservation fees must be paid in FULL at time of reservation. You may purchase your annual parks pass at time of reservation. If you do not have an annual parks pass when you arrive at the park, vehicle entrance fees are collected at the park.
Payment Methods
Payments for online or phone reservations can be made by Visa, MasterCard, Discover or gift certificates generated from the new system. Check, money order, traveler’s check, cash, and Colorado State Parks gift certificates can be used at parks or Colorado Parks and Wildlife offices, but are not accepted for reservations made online or via phone.
Reservation Confirmation
Once the reservation is completed, a reservation number will be generated. This reservation number will be on the confirmation letter that will be either emailed or sent through the US mail. This reservation number will be used to reference your reservation when viewing, changing or cancelling your reservation online or through the ReserveAmerica Call Center.
Discounts
If you are an Aspen Leaf Pass holder, you are eligible for camping discounts at individual campsites, Sunday-Thursday, excluding holidays and the day prior to a holiday. Aspen Leaf serial numbers must be given at the time of reservation to verify the pass and apply a discount.
This discount is also available to Columbine, Centennial, and Blue Spruce pass holders over the age of 64 and senior volunteer pass holders. This discount does not apply to fees for cabins or yurts.
Passes and eligibility will be verified at the park upon check-in.
