The Great Outdoors

Camp in an RV near Carbondale and make the short drive west to the Grand Mesa National Forest, which borders the White River National Forest and the Gunnison National Forest. Highlights include the 355-foot-high Bridal Veil Falls and more than 300 lakes, with both hiking and mountain biking trails to explore. Keep your eyes peeled for elk, black bears, and bighorn sheep that inhabit the park, together with bald eagles, Mexican spotted owls, and peregrine falcons.Camping at Carbondale / Crystal River KOA also gives you direct access to the White River National Forest. It’s particularly renowned as a ski destination, with 12 different ski areas within its borders, while also providing an important habitat for deer, elk, mountain lion, and moose. Don’t miss the Maroon Bells Scenic Area that’s particularly magnificent during the fall and be sure to take a drive along the 82-mile-long Flat Tops Scenic Byway. There are hundreds of miles of trails that are accessible to mountain bikers and horseback riders, as well as ten peaks over 14,000 feet in height to challenge serious trekkers.To the northeast of the White River National Forest are the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, which together span more than 1.7 million acres. They were named after the Arapaho tribe of Native Americans and former President Theodore Roosevelt who established the park in 1908. Today, they’re divided into ten wilderness areas that comprise some of Colorado’s most spectacular peaks and densely forested terrain that’s traversed by hiking trails and mountain climbing routes. Fish for trout in the streams and lakes of the Comanche Peak Wilderness or head to the Never Summer Wilderness along the border with the Rocky Mountain National Park, which (as its name suggests) experiences heavy rain and snowfall throughout the year.

Exploring the Area

Renting an RV in Carbondale makes a good base for visiting Glenwood Springs, which is famed for its natural and therapeutic hot springs. Witness the breathtaking beauty of Glenwood Canyon and the turquoise waters of Hanging Lake, then venture into the underground caves of the Glenwood Caverns. If you’re traveling with kids, don’t miss a visit to the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park where they can let loose on the roller coasters, rides, and canyon swings that overlook the Colorado River. If you want to get out on the water, kayaking and rafting trips are both offered through Glenwood Canyon, with soaring cliffs on either side.Glenwood Springs has a number of supermarkets where you can pick up supplies, as well as gas stations if you need to fill up your RV rental. There’s also a good choice of restaurants to select from, ranging from fast food eateries to fine-dining establishments.While motorhome camping at the Carbondale / Crystal River KOA, you'll be just 45 minutes’ drive from Aspen, which is perhaps the most famous ski resort town in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. While it’s at its liveliest during the winter snow season, Aspen is a year-round destination for outdoor pursuits, with everything from hiking to shopping and outstanding dining on offer. Admire the 19th-century Wheeler Opera House that was built during the area’s silver mining boom or delve into the local history at the Wheeler-Stallard House, which occupies an elegant Queen Anne-style residence. If you’re an art enthusiast, don’t miss the Aspen Art Museum whose rotating and permanent exhibits focus on contemporary works.Whether you want to explore the hiking trails of the Rocky Mountains, go skiing in Aspen, or soak in the hot springs of Glendale, book an RV in Pitkin County and start planning your next vacation.

Questions about RVs?

Q.

What type of RV should I choose?

A.

Start by determining how many people are planning to travel with you. Going on a solo-journey? Choose a camper van or a teardrop trailer. Bringing the whole family along for the ride? Consider a spacious Class A or five-wheel.

You’ll also want to consider amenities. For example, if you’re planning to cook on the road, you’ll want a kitchenette. If your campground doesn’t have public restrooms, you’ll want to search RVs with bathrooms. Check out full descriptions of our models to help you decide here.


Q.

Do the RVs have bathrooms?

A.

Yes. Class A’s, Class B’s, and Class C’s and five-Wheels typically have bathrooms. Depending on where you plan on camping, you’ll want to double-check the availability of restrooms if selecting a rig without a bathroom. Nervous about renting an RV with a bathroom? Owners can help show you how to clean the tank or will offer to do it for you for a fee.


Q.

How does check-in work?

A.

Once an Owner approves your RV reservation, you can coordinate a time to pick up your rig or have it delivered to your doorstep or campsite. At that point, the owner will do a key exchange with you and walk you through the RV and answer any questions you might have.
