​

What are the road conditions in Denver?

 

Denver and its surrounding areas have a variety of road conditions depending on where you're traveling. Major highways and roads, such as those leading to national parks or the Rocky Mountains, are typically well-maintained. However, during the winter months, snow and icy roads can make driving more challenging, so it's important to be prepared. 

​

We recommend checking the weather conditions regularly and ensure your RV is properly equipped with winter tires if you're planning to visit high-altitude areas.

​

Can you sleep anywhere in an RV in Denver?

 

In Denver, there are designated campgrounds and RV parks where you can legally park and sleep in your RV. Many of these parks offer fire pits and camping amenities, making it easy to enjoy a cozy campfire and connect with nature. 

​

Wild camping is generally not allowed in the city, but Colorado boasts numerous beautiful public lands and national forests where dispersed camping is permitted. Always check local regulations to ensure you’re camping legally. With Campervan Planet, we’ll help guide you to the best spots for an unforgettable camping experience.

We recommend checking out RV parks located just outside the city for more convenience.

Campfires are generally allowed in most RV parks and campgrounds near Denver, but they are subject to local fire restrictions, especially during dry or windy conditions.

Do I need a special permit for camping in Colorado’s national forests?

 

In Colorado, camping in national forests is typically free for dispersed camping (camping outside of designated campgrounds), but you may need a permit or a reservation for specific campgrounds. Check with the U.S. Forest Service or the Colorado Parks and Wildlife website for details on permits, especially if you plan to camp in a designated area.
