Discover Fairplay


Fairplay, Colorado is a tiny mountain enclave high up in the Rocky Mountains southwest of Denver. Less than a thousand people inhabit Fairplay at any given moment and the town is reminiscent of an old Wild West town. Fairplay was once a well-known mining hub settled in the middle of the 19th century and incorporated in 1872. The name Fairplay was chosen to signify that mining claims were evenly distributed and administered in the town to avoid skirmishes between prospectors.

You can book an RV in Fairplay if you seek to discover the magic of the mountains and the captivating views that accompany them. Epic wilderness areas, national forests, and iconic national parks are part of the adventure too when you rent an RV in Fairplay, or anywhere in the mountains of Colorado for that matter. Combined with the accessibility of Denver and all of the mountain resort towns like Frisco and Breckenridge, there is unlimited potential to tailor your vacation to your needs and have the most memorable trip imaginable. If you are wondering when to head to Fairplay, the last week of July is a fantastic time to see the community at its very best. The Burro Days Festival is held in late July each year to celebrate the town’s mining history, with mouthwatering food, fun events, and the great “burro race” where donkeys or “burros” are ridden through the mountains in a competitive race.
