Renting an RV in Denver
Denver is a common starting point for a Rockies road trip, and you'll find a wide variety of experiences, including upscale shopping, hot springs, outdoor adventures in the Rocky Mountains, and world-class sports entertainment. Before booking, it helps to know which type of RV fits your trip. RVshare offers three main classes:
Class A — Full-size motorhomes, best for long trips and large groups
Class B — Camper vans, ideal for couples or solo travelers
Class C — Mid-size motorhomes, a versatile option for families
Average Denver CO RV Rental Prices
Prices vary by type. Motorhomes average $149–$185/night (Class B being the most affordable, Class A the most expensive). Towable options start lower — travel trailers from $60/night, popup campers from $65/night, and fifth wheels from $70/night.
How to Compare Denver RVs
Set your dates. Enter pickup/dropoff dates on RVshare to filter by true availability in Denver..
Choose RV type. Filter by class: motorhome, travel trailer, camper van, or fifth wheel.
Compare total cost. Always check nightly rate + delivery fees + insurance + generator hours.
Read reviews. Filter by stars and look closely at pictures. Check for comments on cleanliness and owner response time.
Know limits. Plan your trip so you understand which routes have height or length restrictions.
Plan around summer or winter traffic. RMNP is a very popular destination in the summer, and ski traffic can jam up the highway in either direction for hours. Plan your trip with this in mind and consider heading south or north on i-25 before going west, to avoid i-70.
Pet Friendly RV Rentals in Denver
Denver is a very pet-friendly city, and you can find tons of pet-friendly rentals on RVshare. Don't forget to check with the campground where you want to stay to make sure pets are allowed there as well, and note restricted breeds. If you need to leave your pet alone in the RV for a while, be sure the temperature inside is safe and comfortable. Check that the RV has air conditioning if you're camping in summer or leave the heat on in winter. Follow owner protocol to keep things safe and bring plenty of toys and a water dish.
Navigating Denver in an RV
The city streets in Denver follow a grid pattern that *mostly* makes sense. When you travel in an RV, it can get stressful around the downtown core, so we recommend avoiding areas like the 16th Street Mall or Performing Arts Center. The west side of i-25 has larger parking lots for things like Elitch and Coors Field. Denver’s airport is locally known as DIA, but the actual airport code is DEN. It’s one of the busiest airports in the country and is located east of downtown, about a twenty minute drive from the metro area. There is a hotel on-site at the airport, and tons of car rentals. Colorado Springs, about an hour south, has a smaller regional airport that connects to Denver in a 19-minute flight. You can get an RV delivered upon arrival or arrange for delivery to your campground. From DIA you’ll get on i-70 and can either drive straight west into Golden and the mountains, or get on i-25 north or south.

Tip from Fiorella Yriberry, RVShare writer and full-time vanlifer: “Instead of heading west on i-70, try going south first, through Colorado Springs, and then head west on 24 or 160. You can avoid a lot of RMNP traffic and get to less crowded sites like 11 Mile Canyon, Lake City, or Salida.”
Dump Stations Near Denver
Most Denver-area dump stations are located at RV campgrounds and parks like Cherry Creek State Recreation Area, which welcomes both campers and non-guests. Most campgrounds in the area also offer full hookups or on-site dump stations.
Tip: Plan your dump stops around your campground stays to save time and money.
