Park in the shadow of craft beer giants and get a taste of what’s hopping.
Boulder County Fairgrounds Campground
9595 Nelson Road Longmont, CO 80501 (303) 682-6762
Road Trip: Few breweries in the country are as innovative as Left Hand Brewing Company. These guys—two former Air Force vets—are mad scientists, always bucking industry trends. And it works. Just taste their Pumpkin Spice Latte Nitro—or any nitro for that matter. And whatever you love, buy some to take back to the campground. 3-minute drive.

Bear Creek Lake Park
15600 W. Morrison Road Lakewood, CO 80228 (303) 697-6159
Road Trip: It’s not easy finding a great campground near downtown Denver, but the payoff is big. Mainly, decent proximity to the Great Divide Brewing Company. You’ll thank us kindly once you try their Yeti Imperial Stout. The bold malt flavor smoothly transitions to sublime caramel and toffee notes. Exactly what you’d expect in this craft beer in Mecca. 33-minute drive.

Tiger Run Resort
85 Revett Drive Breckenridge, CO 80424 (970) 453-9690
Road Trip: Fall in Colorado is not like Fall in California—or even Virginia. You’re in the Rockies, which means it could snow, especially in Breckenridge. All the better to be within a short drive (or long walk) from the Broken Compass Brewing Company and its Snow Blind Double IPA. At 8.2 percent ABV, being holed up somewhere just might get more fun. 7-minute drive.

Red Mountain Motel & RV Park
664 Greene Street Silverton, CO 81433 (970) 387-5512
Road Trip: Smack dab in the middle of the forested San Juan Mountains, Silverton is just cool. It’s a small town (651 people in 2021) and everything is nearby—including the Golden Block Brewery. You don’t even have to think about getting behind the wheel as you enjoy a pint of Whoop Arse Scottish Ale—a smoky medium-roast malt with brown sugar notes. 8-minute walk
