Colorado is one of the most scenic states in the country. Denver, Colorado, specifically, is known for panoramic views and opportunities to get lost in nature. This area is full of gorges, canyons, cliffs, mountains, rivers, and trails just waiting for you to unplug and explore. In addition to gorgeous natural landscapes, downtown Denver has a lively nightlife, art, cuisine, and music scene. 

As one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, the cost of hotels and AirBnBs are on the rise in this area, making RV camping a practical and affordable means of housing when traveling to Denver. Did you know that some of the country's best RV parks are near Denver? Most offer year-round camping accommodations depending on if you are looking to snowshoe or soak up the sun.  

At Transwest, we have hand-picked some of our favorite RV resorts near Denver to help you navigate where to stay for your next trip.

RV Parks Minutes From Downtown Denver

If you are looking to balance your time between nature and the city, here are the best RV Parks near downtown Denver.

Cherry Creek State Park

Cherry Creek State Park is widely recognized by tourists and locals alike as one of the best RV parks in Denver. Offering scenic views, hiking and biking paths, a swimming and boating reservoir, an off-leash dog area, and broad natural prairies - you wouldn't believe that this RV park is only 15 minutes from the heart of downtown Denver. Cherry Creek State Park offers everything from tent camping to full hookup sites year-round. Reservations can be made up to 6 months in advance through the Colorado Parks and Wildlife website.

Clear Creek RV Park

This RV park is nestled in Golden, Colorado, on the banks of Clear Creek, surrounded by notable parks like Windy Saddle Park, Lookout Mountain Park, and the Chimney Gulch Trail. Around the resort, you will find incredible places for hiking, kayaking, fishing, tubing, biking, and even parasailing. Clear Creek RV Park is a walk away from local shopping and dining attractions and a quick 25-minute drive into downtown Denver. The RV park is open year-round and offers full-hook-up and electric-only sites. If you are looking for something memorable to do in Golden, the Coors Brewery is located just down the road and offers brewery tours. This is just one of many reasons why Clear Creek RV Park is on our list of Best RV Parks Near Denver!

Bear Creek Lake Park 

This park rivals most state parks boasting a 2,624-acre resort with landscapes that allow for hiking, fishing, windsurfing, mountain biking, and even archery making Bear Creek Lake Park one of the best RV resorts near Denver. The park is just 30 minutes from downtown Denver, and the Red Rocks Amphitheater is 10 minutes away, making it easy to catch a show. All of the campsites are RV accessible at just $35 a night.

RV Parks Under an Hour Away From Downtown Denver

As you venture further from the city, you will find more scenic RV parks that are still within an hour from Denver, here are our favorites.

Chatfield Reservoir

Chatfield Reservoir is located in the southern foothills of Denver, just 45 minutes from the city's heart, and this RV park is huge! Spanning 5,800+ acres, you can enjoy biking, hiking, horseback riding, and encounter abundant wildlife day and night. This campground has 200 tent and RV sites and accommodates rigs up to 45ft with full hookup. Nightly fees range from $21-30, and group camping is also available.

Golden Gate Canyon State Park

About a 45-minute drive to downtown Denver, Golden Gate Canyon State Park has a lot to offer. This campground offers over 35 miles of hiking paths, regularly stocked fishing ponds, and a scenic overlook that allows you to see hundreds of miles of the continental divide. In addition to tent, yurt, and cabin camping, Golden Gate Canyon State Park has RV camping with room for horse trailers; both horses and mountain bikes are welcome. With 12,000 rolling acres of beautiful Colorado land, it is hard to deny that this is one of the best RV parks near Denver.
