How to Compare Colorado RVs For Rent
Colorado is one of the most spectacular RV destinations in the country — and one of the most demanding. High altitude, mountain roads, and extremely competitive campsite reservations mean preparation matters as much as which rig you choose. Average rentals run about $200/night.
What to look for:
Confirm engine power for sustained mountain grades at altitude. If you’re heading above 8,000 feet — Rocky Mountain National Park, Independence Pass, Loveland Pass — not all RV engines handle sustained climbs at elevation. Ask specifically about altitude performance before booking.
Snow tires or all-season ratings matter in shoulder season. Mountain passes can receive snow in May and October. Some close entirely in winter. Confirm tire ratings if you’re traveling outside of June through September.
Check your route to determine length and height limits. Independence Pass does not allow vehicles over 35 feet in length, and RMNP has small tunnels with height restrictions.
Check generator hour restrictions before booking a non-hookup site. Colorado campgrounds tend to enforce quiet hours strictly. Running a generator to power AC in the evenings may not be an option at many sites.
According to RVShare data, the most popular RV model in CO is the standard travel trailer, which can be towed behind a pickup truck or SUV. The pricing for these particular RVs ranges between $65 and $390 a day.
What to Know About Renting an RV in Colorado
Colorado’s campsite reservation system is one of the most competitive in the country. The more popular the campground, the more lead time you need.
Moraine Park and Glacier Basin in RMNP go within minutes of opening 6 months ahead. Set a calendar reminder. This is not an exaggeration.
Altitude sickness is real above 8,000 feet. Give yourself a day to acclimate before strenuous activity. Drink more water than usual.
Afternoon thunderstorms are a daily pattern in summer, especially at elevation. Lightning above treeline is serious. Plan hikes to be back below treeline before 2pm.
Colorado fire restrictions change frequently. Check the Colorado Fire Restrictions website before any trip involving campfires. Respect fire bans, use designated fire pits and make sure you have no dragging chains which are known to light roadside grasses on fire which spreads quickly.
Rocky Mountain National Park requires both a timed-entry permit AND a separate campsite reservation. They open through different systems and both fill fast. Handle them at the same time — not sequentially.
Popular RV Parks and Campgrounds in Colorado
If you plan on staying in Colorado for some time, consider staying at one of the Colorado Springs and Aurora campgrounds.

RV Dump Stations in Colorado
It's essential to get rid of your RV's waste, especially if you plan to travel for days. You’ll find plenty of dump station options in CO: Some places that offer a dump station include the Giant Gas Station in Durango and the Pilot Flying J Travel Plaza in Aurora. State parks and national parks offer dump stations as well.
You can also find dump stations in many RV parks and campgrounds, including Golden Clear Creek RV Park and Mountaindale Campground & Cabins in Colorado Springs. Both of these camping spots offer their dump station for free to any registered guest but charge a small fee to non-registered guests.
Notable National and State Parks in Colorado
Climb some of the steepest cliffs, oldest rock, and craggiest spires in North America at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park — which made it to the top of the list of RVShare's top parks like the Grand Canyon. Hike along the south and north rim trails or explore the inner canyon and surrounding wilderness.
Colorado has four of the most amazing national parks. Mesa Verde National Park in southwest Colorado is home to some of the best-preserved Ancestral Puebloan ruins in the United States and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are more than 4,300 archeological sites in the park, and visitors can see many of them up close and learn how the Pueblo people survived the cold winters and hot summers in the area.
