From WI, and I have a job interview in DENVER ON 04/16/13. I want to make a trip of it and do some climbing as well.

Where would be a good campground to stay at with electric hookups, and a decent rate? A hot shower would be even better too. I plan on being in the area for a week.

Check the season dates... If you end up near Chatfield or in that area-PM me (their open season starts April 15th).

Good luck with the interview.

Make that part of the trip go south to Springs and you will find camping with showers and great climbing all around you there.

20 minutes from Denver, and close to climbs in Clear Creek Canyon, North Table Mountain, and Boulder climbs in ~45 minutes.

I've never stayed here, so I can't comment about the place, but seems nice when I've passed by.

In the heart of Denver, Cherry Creek Resivoir would be the place. It's right next to I-25 and I-225 so it's easy to get downtown(20min). They have clean showers and laundry, hook ups and tent sites. As far as climbing, your about 30min from Golden and Clear Creek Canyon. Also about 45min from Boulder and Colorado Springs.
