Starting in 2019, 15 state parks will join Colorado’s “reservation only” group, to which five parks already belong.
Under the system, campers can reserve a site 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Reservations are available six months in advance up until the day of arrival, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
Reservations can be made by logging into cpwshop.com or by calling 800-244-5613.
Parks joining the program Jan. 1 are Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area, Boyd Lake, Cherry Creek, Golden Gate Canyon, Highline Lake, Jackson Lake, John Martin Reservoir, Lathrop, Mueller, North Sterling, Pearl Lake, Ridgway, State Forest, Steamboat Lake and Yampa River.
Lake Pueblo State Park and Chatfield State Park will join April 1.
Parks and Wildlife hopes the ability to reserve a same-day site will save campers from gambling on a first-come, first-served spot, only to arrive at the park to find there are no available spots, the release said.
All campers must reserve a campsite prior to occupying the site. Campers who occupy a reservation-only campsite without a reservation will be subject to a citation.
