RV rental Telluride, CO: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

The southwestern corner of Colorado is packed with exceptional nature parks, historical ruins, mountains, desert canyons, and forests. For starters, the town of Telluride is firmly located in the heart of San Juan National Forest, so you won’t need to venture too far away from Telluride when you rent an RV and want to connect with nature. Nearly two million acres comprise this gem of a forest, with three distinct wilderness areas you can trek through in search of peace, quiet, and amazing views. There are even some campgrounds scattered throughout the alpine forest, so camping in your Telluride motorhome rental is a possibility. Ridgway State Park is another possibility, located north of Telluride just outside San Juan National Forest. The park contains the Ridgeway Reservoir, home to many of the exciting activities you can take part in at the park. Boating around, swimming, and fishing for trout and bass in the reservoir are great ways to pass the time, as are hiking around the lake or having a picnic on its sandy beaches. There are marinas, boat launches, and campgrounds, so you can make Ridgway State Park your home base for a few days when you rent an RV. With your Telluride campervan rental ready to hit the road, you are well within the range of some of the best national parks in the state of Colorado, like Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park to the north. This mesmerizing park is comparable to the Grand Canyon, for its sheer size and depth. This magnificent river gorge was carved out by erosion for millions of years and is so named Black Canyon for the fact that its deepest areas only receive about an hour of sunlight each day. Mesa Verde National Park is equal parts historically significant and aesthetically pleasing, with epic canyons, rock walls, and the main attraction: an ancient Pueblo village carved into the mountainside by the indigenous people of Colorado. These red stone homes are etched into the side of a canyon wall, some of the best-preserved ruins of any native community in the country. Either park will do for some excellent camping, so do head out and visit at least one of them with your Telluride camper rental.
