St Vrain Campground

Denver and its suburbs make up one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country, with vibrant culture, downtown districts, and breweries aplenty. However, the hustle and bustle of the city sends many to seek a quieter place to lay their head that’s still near to the all the outdoor attractions of the Rocky Mountain Front. Fortunately, the mountains are just as beautiful a short drive to the north at St. Vrain State Park, which offers respite from the congestion of the Mile High City, and is the perfect place for renting an RV.

St. Vrain State Park encompasses a swath of wetlands just off Interstate 25 and a little to the east of Longmont. Some of the sites at the St Vrain campground have full hookups, but many only offer electrical outlets for your rental RV. There is a dump station close by and some spigots for accessing drinking water too. A short walk from the RV sites is the Barbour Ponds Camper Services building, which has bathrooms, showers, and a coin-op laundromat.

Most people coming to St. Vrain aren’t here for the amenities though, but rather for the impressive green spaces that surround it. Walking trails encircle several ponds inside the park and are great for bird watching; eagles, egrets, and pelicans are in abundance at St. Vrain. There are also some fishing piers around the ponds, making it easier to dip your line in - just be sure you have a Colorado fishing license. Perhaps the best part of booking one of the RV rentals in Weld County is its proximity to everything on the Rocky Mountain Front; in just half an hour's drive, you can be in downtown Denver or Boulder.
