Vacation in the breathtaking Rocky Mountains of Colorado and plan a stay at Jellystone Park™ at Larkspur. Located halfway between Denver and Colorado Springs, our stunning mountain resort features winding hiking trails and close proximity to some of the Nation's most treasured natural wonders.
The majestic Broadmoor Seven Falls has a place on National Geographic's listing of international waterfalls, and with good reason. It's well worth the 32-mile drive from Larkspur to witness the powerful cascade of water tumbling over 180 feet down the rocky cliffs. A stairway of 224 steps climbs alongside the waterfall, taking you to an overlook with stunning vistas of Colorado's rugged mountains and golden prairies.
At the top, two hiking trails await. If you follow the Inspiration Point trail it will provide panoramic views of the surrounding region, while the Midnight Falls trail leads you to a small, sparkling waterfall. For those seeking high-intensity thrills, The Broadmoor Soaring Adventure will carry you along 10 ziplines over "The Grandest Mile of Scenery in Colorado," offering the chance to fly directly above Seven Falls.
At the end of your adventure, be sure to stop by the gift shop for a memento of your travels, and refuel with a meal at Restaurant 1858, where sustainably-raised meat and decadent desserts are sure to tantalize your taste buds.
Marvels of the underground world await you at the Cave of the Winds. This expansive cave system can be explored by the family-friendly Discovery Tour, eerie Lantern Tour, and the Caving 101 tour that will have you crawling and climbing through undeveloped passageways.
There are plenty of outdoor activities as well. Climb and maneuver around aerial obstacles as you hang 600 feet above the ground on the Cave of the Winds Mountain Park. They also offer cave tours, mountain climbing and zipline experiences.
The perfect spot for your Rocky Mountain vacation, Jellystone Park™ at Larkspur is one of the best campgrounds near Denver. Bask poolside as you enjoy the mountain breeze, or head out for a walk on the hiking trails with your loyal companion at our pet-friendly campground.
A wooden playground, gem mining, geocaching, and basketball are just a few of the available activities. Families can work together to break out of Soapy Smith's Escape Room, and themed weekends provide fun for all ages. Enjoy Christmas in July, harvest weekends, and more, as well as movie nights at the Cindy Bear™ Movie Theater.
Stay at simple tent sites and full hookup RV sites, or treat yourself to a special stay in one of our vacation rentals. Cottages and cabins provide full furnishings and space for up to six, but the real adventure lies in our unique rentals, including tipis and yurts!
The local area is full of excitement, and campers can explore the Denver Mint, Pike's Peak, and other spots of interest. Big city attractions are just 40 minutes north in the state capital of Denver, or you can walk the charming streets of historic Colorado Springs, where local shops and grassy parks are just 30 minutes south of your site.
