Discover Horsetooth Reservoir RV rentals for memorable road trips

Horsetooth Reservoir can be found in northern Colorado near the cities of Fort Collins, Greeley, and an hour drives north from Denver. The reservoir was constructed in 1949 and was mainly built to collect snowmelt as a secondary water supply for the cities of Fort Collins and Greeley. Horsetooth Reservoir lies on the eastern fringe of the Rocky Mountains, offering a picturesque mountain retreat for anyone with an RV rental. Although recreational was not the first thing in mind when the dam and reservoir were built, Horsetooth Reservoir has slowly grown into one of Colorado’s premier recreational lakes. Accessing the reservoir with a rental RV is simple, as Interstate 25 runs through Fort Collins and to the eastern shores, allowing access with ease.
