Getting Outside Near Steamboat Springs

If you’re visiting with a camper rental near Steamboat Springs, CO, you’re almost certainly coming for the outdoor activities.

Our family trip to Steamboat Lake was a blast. The trailer was clean and full of everything we needed. We couldn't have had a better host either. Trish set the trailer up perfectly, was great with communication, and gave us some helpful tips as well since we were off-grid.

The cutest little vintage RV! My husband, 9 year old daughter and I rented this for a weekend of camping in Steamboat. It was a nice upgrade from tent camping & super lightweight/easy to tow. The stove came in handy for all of our cooked meals! There was also a sink, which we did not use since we didn’t have access to water (I’m not sure if there’s a hookup, or if you can pre-fill a tank). It’s nice to know it’s there if needed for hand-washing or cleaning dishes. If you’re looking for something warmer & comfier than tent camping, along with a few extra amenities, this RV has you covered.
