Jeffco Open Space, which has three campsites at two different parks , has so far had a record number of campers using them. Open Space has also tweaked some of the rules for its campers this year, requiring a permit ahead of time, but that hasn't dampened the experience, according to Mary Ann Bonnell, visitor services supervisor for Jeffco Open Space.

"It's so funny — we don't really feel like we have a season anymore. People don't stop camping," Bonnell said.

The two parks that allow free camping are Reynolds Park in Conifer with its Idylease Campground and White Ranch Park in Golden, which has Sourdough Springs Equestrian and Sawmill Hikers campgrounds
