Denver, CO RV Rentals and Motorhome Rentals

Information About Denver, CO

The “Mile-High City”, once a rough-and-tumble town home mainly to cowboys and miners, has become the cultural capital of the Rocky Mountains. With its endless opportunities for adventure, numerous gastropubs, vibrant craft beer scene, and generally laid-back approach to life, it’s no surprise that Denver has become a top-rated tourist destination in the past several years.

But like many cities in the western United States, Denver is fairly spread out. And many of the outdoor activities you’ll want to do are several miles outside the city. Renting an RV in Denver, Colorado is the perfect way to see all the attractions it has to offer, without having to worry about transportation or accommodations.

Fortunately, while Denver doesn’t have as developed of a public transportation system as Boston or New York, the RTD light rail system can be a big help in navigating the city. Areas of the city not served by light rail still usually have a bus stop nearby. With public transportation, you’re never more than 45 minutes from the downtown core.

RV Parks

There’s no shortage of great RV parks in the Denver area, so all you need to decide when you book an RV in Denver is what you want to be closest to. Prospect RV Park in the western suburb of Wheat Ridge is just a fifteen-minute drive or forty-five-minute bus ride from Denver’s downtown area. A Walmart, truck stop, and Camping World are all close by, too. Alternatively, Flying Saucer RV Park is in the town of Sheridan, just ten miles south of the city and only a few minutes off I-25.

Renting an RV in Denver gives you a lot more freedom of movement, and if you’d rather stay in one Denver’s outlying cities, Golden and Aurora are probably your best bets. Freedom Road RV Park and Clear Creek RV Park are just a twenty-minute drive from Denver, but more importantly, less than ten minutes from the world-famous Coors Brewery Tour. Denver Meadows RV Park in Aurora is just two minutes from I-225 and ten minutes from the nearest Walmart. You’re bound to find the perfect place to set up your rental RV in Denver to have easy access to whatever you’re looking for.

Outdoor Activities

Colorado is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts, and renting a camper in Denver is the perfect way to see all that nature has to offer. The biggest attraction is obviously Rocky Mountain National Park, with hundreds of miles of trails leading to some of America’s highest peaks. If you’re interested in camping nearby, sites at Spruce Lake and Manor RV Park, near the Estes Park entrance, can accommodate your rig.

If heading out to the mountains sounds like too long of a journey, there are plenty of parks within the city of Denver that can give you a little taste of nature. City Park is Denver’s top urban green space and is also home to the Denver Zoo and Museum of Nature and Science. Miles of trails and the picturesque Ferril and Duck Lakes make this the perfect place for a family picnic or a romantic evening watching the sunset.

Love whitewater kayaking, but don’t have time to get out to the gnarly canyons in the mountains? The chutes at Confluence Park, just blocks from Denver’s Union Station, are the perfect place to rent a kayak and drop into some rapids on the South Platte River.

Exploring the City

As the cultural capital of the Intermountain West, Denver has a lot more to offer than you’d expect from a metro area of less than three million people. The Denver Zoo is one of the most popular attractions, especially with kids, and is home to over 650 species, including elephants, lions, and gorillas.

While Colorado has historically been most famous for Coors Brewing Company, the Denver area is now ranked as one of the country’s best cities for craft beer, with 72 breweries. Ratio Beerworks, Woods Boss Brewing, Briar Common, and Bierstadt Lagerhaus are all located near the downtown core.

If exotic animals and fine craft beer aren’t enough, perhaps you’d like to see what 30 million dollars in cash looks like. The Money Museum at the Federal Reserve Branch of Denver has great exhibits about the history of U.S. currency, and you even get a free bag of money when you visit (well, of shredded bills that have been taken out of circulation).

If you don’t mind going a little farther afield, head your Denver RV rental to the college town of Boulder. It’s something of a miniature Denver, but with even more boutique shopping and exciting places to eat. The Pearl Street outdoor mall is at its epicenter, and there’s no better place to window-shop and people watch, all within the shadow of the towering Rocky Mountain peaks just a few miles away.
