Why Visit Colorado in an RV?

The State of Colorado is a camper’s dream, with campsites situated in forests, on the plains, and even in a few cities.

Colorado Springs has several campgrounds that are less than 10 miles from the city centre. This gives visitors the opportunity to “live” very close to their daily adventures.

Summer is widely regarded as the best time to visit the Rocky Mountain National Park. The weather warms to a comfortable temperature, and trails and campgrounds are open for the season. All hiking and cycling trails are open, fishing opportunities are abundant, and the weather is optimal for rock climbing. Summer is the camping season in the rocky mountains! Most campgrounds open in May and close in September, though Moraine Park is open year-round for first-come-first-serve visitors.

But when considering a tour of the state in your Recreational Vehicle (RV) you are certainly not limited to the national parks. RV parks are also located in state parks and at many private camps and resorts. Sometimes there will be tent camping at the same campground and you can choose to stay in your RV or “rough it” for the night in a tent. RV campgrounds are located throughout the state whether you're planning to visit the mountain towns of Breckenridge or Durango or the metropolitan area around Colorado Springs.
