Discover Pearl Lake State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

Once owned by one of the largest sheep companies in the US, owner John Kelly Hartt used this land for summer grazing for his sheep, which numbered in thousands. In winters, the flocks were transported to an open space near Rawlins, Wyoming. Upon Hartt’s death in the 1950s, his wife, Pearl, sold the Colorado property to the U.S. Forest Services, who in turn sold it to the state of Colorado.

Getting Outdoors

When people think of Colorado, they often list features like mountains, outdoors, wilderness, and wildlife. Pearl Lake State Park has it all in spades. A poorly kept secret, this park is home to one of the best fishing in the state, known in particular for its cutthroat trout, which has been designated as “Gold Medal.” There is a small boat ramp for rowboats, kayaks, and canoes. The best times for fishing are generally in late spring after the thaw, usually in late May, and in the fall. Anglers, take note: only flies and artificial lures are allowed. A hiking trail meanders from the boat ramp to Coulton Creek Trail in the Routt National Forest.

Camping at Pearl Lake State Park

Common reasons to rent an RV are to skip hotels, have easier and faster access to the outdoors (especially for early starts to a long hike), and to unplug from the world. The Pearl Lake State Park campground, although small with only 36 sites, has a stunning view of the lake and the mountains around the valley. All sites can accommodate rental travel trailers and small motorhomes, and each site has a fire ring. Be aware that there are no hookups for rental RVs, and showers, laundry, and dump station facilities are available only at the neighboring Steamboat Lake State Park campground in Craig, CO. Leashed dogs are welcome.

Exploring the Area

Sometimes it’s nice to switch gears and hit the local towns for various attractions. Colorado isn’t all about mountains and nature. It has art. Culture. History. And beer, of course. Colorado Springs is a charming mix of Old West small-town blended with a hipster, funky vibe. Boutique shops with products made by local artisans and crafters line the main street. Just off the main is Tread of Pioneers Museum, which details the local history from its rough beginning when streets were paved with dirt, rather than asphalt, and the town residents consisted mainly of miners and lumberjacks. Photographs, sketches, ancient maps, firearms, and genuine artifacts line the halls, allowing visitors a glimpse into the past.

This cute vintage trailer was exactly what we needed for our camping weekend. While it isn't fancy with all the creature comforts, it was clean, stocked with the appropriate supplies and kept us dry and warm. It was also remodeled, but keeping to the vintage vibe. Storage was better than some of the newer trailers, which is a bonus in my book. The only suggestion would be to make sure you bring a space heater if you have the ability to connect to electricity. Mountain evenings can get cold and this trailer did not have a space heat, but did have a nice fan. I would rent this trailer again!
