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.

Although fishing can be great throughout the year, and as a cold water fishery, the fall creates the most rewarding angling experience. Many serious fishermen and women come to Horsetooth Reservoir for the great walleye and smallmouth bass, which are here in record-breaking size and abundance. Alongside these, Horsetooth Reservoir campers can also try their hand at catching bluegill, carp, crappie, perch, and rainbow trout - this list of species is endless.

We had a FANTASTIC trip to Moab, UT where we camped along the Colorado River. We explored Arches National Park and Canyonlands and enjoyed some amazing hikes! The camper was super comfortable, stocked with everything you could need and easy to tow. Hunter was always very responsive to any questions we had and easy to talk to. A nice guy who really wanted us to enjoy our trip-thank you. A trip full of great times and memories…

We loved our trip with Luna! We felt well outfitted, prepared and supported with any questions! We had a blast biking, visiting hot springs and sledding the sand dunes. The perfect vehicle for a Colorado adventure!
