Arapahoe Group Site is a group campground within Cherry Creek State Park in Colorado, about 0.1 mile from both the Cherokee Group Site and Cherry Creek State Park Campground. Chief Ouray Group Site sits about 0.2 mile away, so the park's group sites cluster closely together. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Cherry Creek Dam weather station run to highs around 72°F in May and 80°F in September, while July highs reach about 90°F and winter lows dip to around 17°F. The John F Kennedy Park Trail, a mountain biking route, is about 0.8 mile away, and Smoky Hill Trail is about a mile off for hiking. Westlands Park/God's Hands, a climbing area, is roughly 4.4 miles away.
