Denver West / Central City KOA

You won’t have to look very far when you pick up your campervan rental and set off for the great outdoors in search of peace and quiet. Places like Golden Gate Canyon State Park are right on your front doorstep when you stay at Denver West/Central City KOA. This lovely park has 36 miles of trails where you can walk, bike, or walk your dog. There are even some trails available for horseback riding, as well as a visitor center and a campground with over 100 camping sites. Chatfield State Park is found closer to Denver, centered around a big reservoir. There are over 300 species of birds native to the area, and birdwatchers come from all over the world to identify and photograph rare birds there. If you would like to learn more about the environment and habitats that make up Chatfield State Park, the Audubon Center on-site is a fabulous resource to check out. Roxborough State Park is close by too, with stunning geological features that leave you feeling inspired and in awe. Mighty, red sandstone structures and canyon walls dating back three hundred million years are the stars of the show and an integral reason for the park being declared a National Natural Landmark. Hiking and rock climbing are two of the most commonly enjoyed activities at Roxborough State Park, and the visitor center is a great place to start your visit to learn the ins and outs of the place. There is no way you can miss out on one of Colorado’s most spectacular parks, and Rocky Mountain National Park is not far from where you and your rental RV will be staying in Central City. This outdoor wonderland has a quarter of a million acres of unspoiled land, from high alpine lakes, lofty vistas, subalpine meadows, and lush, evergreen forests that are great for hiking. You can bathe in the frigid waters, trek to the peak of some staggeringly high mountains, or camp at one of the park's many rustic camping areas when you visit this nature enthusiast’s dream.
