The small town of Leadville, Colorado has long been one of the most famous mountain towns in all of Colorado. Leadville has the distinction of being one of the highest incorporated cities in the United States, a fact that the town takes immense pride in. Leadville is over 10,000 feet above sea level, with incredibly fresh alpine air and some stellar views all around.

Leadville initially began as a mining settlement much like many other local towns but was officially founded in 1878. Rich veins of silver and gold brought droves of prospectors and hopeful settlers to Leadville in search of prosperity and soon after, a town developed to provide basic functions for these dedicated miners. Unlike many of the other mining towns, Leadville continues to thrive as a first-rate city in the mountains, while others lay abandoned.

Leadville has a rich history that can only fully be grasped when you rent an RV in town. When you book an RV in Leadville, you are greeted with historical landmarks, stories of old western folk heroes that once lived or worked in town, breathtaking natural beauty, and a myriad of other simple pleasures. Don’t forget to look into one of the town’s many annual events, like the Boom Days Festival, an homage to the town's mining past. This event goes on for three days with awesome food, fun rides, games for kids, and lots of entertainment.

Discover Leadville


Explore the Outdoors

Leadville is practically encapsulated on all sides by several national forests so it is an inescapable truth that you will be finding some extraordinary nature during your travels. White River National Forest is one of these forests and is named for the White River that passes through it. There are well over two million acres of evergreen trees in the forest as well as some of the tallest mountains in the Rockies. White River National Forest is among the most visited national parks in the country thanks to the many ski and snowboard resorts inside it. Like any national forest, there are plenty of camping grounds to stay at with your Leadville RV rental.

Pike National Forest and San Isabel National Forest also surround the town of Leadville giving you more wilderness to explore when you rent an RV in town. These sprawling wilderness areas encompass millions of acres of land, covering large swaths of the Rocky Mountains. You can go mountain biking, rock climbing, hiking, fishing, hunting, geocaching, white water rafting, and more when you venture off to these stunning woodland sanctuaries.

Dillon Reservoir north of Leadville is sandwiched between several popular resort towns, like Frisco and Dillon. Aside from the world-class skiing and trendy resort towns, this lake is a fantastic recreation site in its own right. Several campgrounds line the lake allowing guests to rest on the pristine shores for a restful night’s sleep. Fishing, swimming, boating, hiking, and cycling are excellent ways to see the area or explore the lake.

Rocky Mountain National Park, Great Sand Dunes National Park, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park: the Centennial State is spoiled when it comes to national parks, with some of the country’s very best. If you don’t have time to see all of them, Black Canyon of the Gunnison is a gem of a park farther west and deeper into the massive mountain range. The park is named for the peculiar black rock canyon that was slowly carved and eroded over millions of years by the Gunnison River, much like the Grand Canyon in Arizona. The river gorge is truly a sight to behold when you bring your Leadville motorhome rental to camp out at this impressive park.
