Discover Franktown RV rentals for memorable road trips

Franktown is a city in Douglas County, Colorado and is the designated county seat. It originated in 1859, being named “Frank's Town” after the first settler to the area, James Frank Gardner. The name was officially changed to Franktown in 1961. By the early 1860s, stockades had been built to protect the community from Indian and Confederate soldier raids. The city organized its school district in 1865 and established its graveyard sometime before 1875 when it had its first burial. It also supplied timber to Denver and much of early Colorado, as well as the Kansas Pacific and Denver Rio Grande railroads. One of Franktown's historic structures is the Rock Ridge Ranch Barn, one of the last existing structures made by pegged, post and beam construction (a type of construction where wooden beams are fitted together at the corners like jigsaw puzzles). This type of construction ended with the invention of the wire nail around 1900.

The Great Outdoors

Castlewood Canyon State Park is an environmentally diverse nature preserve, with hiking trails, rock climbing walls, picnicking areas, and more. Trails are easy to moderately difficult, and some may have wooden bridges to cross. It is a perfect setting for nature and wildlife observing and photography. Visitors can observe the Castlewood Dam which burst in 1933, and nesting raptors (depending on the season). The park is open from sunrise to sunset; both inbound and outbound gates are locked promptly at sunset.

We had a excellent experience with Discover Campervans and "Glacier". Our trip involved some in town activities in Golden and some trips into both the mountains and prairie. The set up was a good mix to handle parking on city streets, some moderate dirt road driving and getting up and down in the mountains. The high ceiling was appreciated as well as the ability to set up two beds. The pick up and return process was very smooth and friendly. Thanks for a great week and definitely recommend.

Fantastic host and trip. The RV could not have been more perfect for our needs. Everything worked well and was just as described. Chris was very easy to work with.

We had the best 7 night’s adventuring in Utah and Colorado. The owner is very accommodating spending time explaining how to operate the van. He is also quick to answer any questions while on your trip. We highly recommend this van for your next adventure.
