Campgrounds near Aurora, Colorado
Aurora sits on the eastern edge of the Denver metro area, on rolling high plains at roughly 5,400 to 5,700 feet of elevation. It works well as an RV base for travelers who want quick access to downtown Denver, Denver International Airport, and the Front Range foothills without paying urban-core rates or navigating tight city streets.
RV options in and around Aurora range from full-service private parks to a large state-park campground. Denver Meadows RV Park and Applewood RV Resort sit inside the metro area with paved sites and standard hookups. Flying Saucer RV Park is a smaller private option, Golden Gun Club offers rustic overnight camping tied to its shooting facility east of the city, and Ridgeline at River Run 55+ Lifestyle Community caters to age-restricted long-term stays.
Cherry Creek State Park, anchored around an 880 surface-acre reservoir, offers a natural prairie environment of gentle, rolling hills, and is the largest public campground option in the immediate Aurora area.
Things to do near Aurora
Cherry Creek State Park is the dominant outdoor draw. The park's 35 miles of multiuse trails, including 15 miles of paved trails, host walkers, hikers, bikers, and families on outings, and in winter there might be snowshoers or cross-country skiers. The cool waters of Cherry Creek Reservoir attract water skiers, anglers and boaters of all kinds. A designated off-leash dog area and a swim beach make it a practical stop for families with pets.
Aurora Reservoir, on the southeast side of the city, offers additional swimming, kayaking, and a paved perimeter trail. Downtown Denver museums, Red Rocks Park, and the Denver Zoo are all within a 30 to 45 minute drive.
Golden Gun Club provides shooting sports for guests who camp on site, and the Anschutz Medical Campus area supplies a dense cluster of restaurants and grocery stores close to most RV parks.

61° / 34°F 47 mmWettest season; heavy spring snow possible into April
- summer
June - August
86° / 57°F 51 mmPeak bookings; afternoon thunderstorms and hail risk

December - February
43° / 18°F 13 mmCold and dry; state-park winter camping limited to one loop
Late spring through early fall is the primary RV season. May through September brings warm days, long evenings, and reliable access to reservoir swimming and boating. Summer weekends fill first, and it is not unusual for Cherry Creek State Park to reach capacity on busy days. Weekday arrivals and shoulder-season trips in May or September see thinner crowds.
Winter camping is possible but limited. At Cherry Creek, winter camping from November 1 through March 31 is available in the Abilene Loop only, a reservation is required, and the dump station is closed for the winter and reopens April 1. Private parks in Aurora generally stay open year-round, though hookups can be affected by hard freezes.
Afternoon thunderstorms are common from June through August, and hail is a real risk on the plains. Travelers should watch forecasts and secure awnings before leaving the site.

We had a wonderful time. Elissa was very informative, responsive to any questions and very helpful with suggestions. We were first time van renters and we now have a desire to continue.
Tracy H. - Sep 2024
Just book it already! It’s the van you want! The van itself has everything you need! Spacious! Easy to drive and an amazing turning radius! And not bad in gas. The Host is even better! Super sweet, helpful and knowledgeable about Colorado! I had the most random questions and she’d answer them and get back to me promptly. I can’t wait to go back and explore more with EJ’s vans!
Tatiana H. - Sep 2024
We had a wonderful time renting Barry’s RV! Barry was wonderful to work with, helping me adjust my dates when our plans changed. He was quick to respond, even for small questions. His RV had everything my family of 6 hoped for: bed linens, pillows, towels, dishes, pots and pans, utensils….. on and on. It was so well stocked. The RV was easier to drive than I expected and had several external cameras for helping with turns and lane changes. Barry made our trip a success and I can’t wait to rent from him again!
Jennifer D. - Jul 2025
Barry was super easy to work with and will definitely be booking with him again on our next trip to the Denver area!

How to book near Aurora
State-park sites and private RV parks use different systems, so plan accordingly. A reservation is required to camp at Cherry Creek, and reservations can be made through the Colorado Parks and Wildlife online reservation system or over the phone, up to six months in advance. The CPW booking portal is at cpwshop.com, and phone reservations run through 1-800-244-5613.
Campers must have both a camping reservation and a separate Colorado State Parks Annual Pass or a Daily Pass for parking. Park passes are available online and onsite.
Private parks such as Denver Meadows RV Park, Flying Saucer RV Park, and Applewood RV Resort take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. Summer holiday weekends and any dates aligned with events at Ball Arena or Coors Field book out first.
What to expect in Aurora
Aurora campgrounds sit at high elevation on open plains, so expect intense sun, low humidity, and a wide swing between daytime highs and overnight lows. Bring layers even in July. UV exposure is stronger than at lower elevations, and dehydration can sneak up on visitors from sea level.
Cherry Creek is an urban-adjacent park, not a wilderness escape. Surrounded by the Denver metro area, Cherry Creek offers a recreational oasis amid the hectic urban world. Highway noise reaches some loops, and cell coverage is strong throughout the area. Private Aurora RV parks are generally paved with mature trees but sit near arterial roads.
Fire restrictions come and go with drought conditions. Stage 2 bans limit outdoor fires so that only propane and gas appliances are allowed, and they are common in mid to late summer. Check current status before arrival.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Aurora, CO
What do I need to rent an RV in Aurora, CO?
Booking an RV rental in Aurora is super straightforward: all you need is to be 25 or older with a valid driver's license. No special RV license or commercial driving permit is required to enjoy Colorado's scenic routes. Your license will be verified through RVezy's secure platform for peace of mind. Most renters are surprised at how easy it is to get started. Once you pass ID confirmation, all that's left is to pick your perfect home-on-wheels for your Aurora adventure.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat's included in the RVezy protection package for my rental?
Every RV rental in Aurora comes with a protection package that covers most accidental damages and gives you access to 24/7 roadside assistance throughout Colorado. You can choose the coverage level that suits your trip, and you won't need to coordinate this with the host: it's all set up during booking. This means you can explore Rocky Mountain National Park or Cherry Creek State Park without worry. It's a major confidence boost for first-time and seasoned RVers alike.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionHow does cancellation work for RVezy rentals in Aurora?
Getting your plans right is important. Every RVezy rental in Aurora follows RVezy's cancellation policy (not the host's). You get a full refund if you cancel within 24 hours of the host accepting your booking. After that, refund amounts depend on how far in advance you cancel; the policy is explained at checkout. Reserving now is low-risk: you can lock in a popular RV before summer books up and adjust if plans change.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsAre there pet-friendly RV rental options in Aurora?
Absolutely, you'll find lots of pet-friendly RV rental options in Aurora. Just use the 'Pet-Friendly' filter when you search, and you can roll out with your furry family members. Many local campgrounds, like Cherry Creek State Park, welcome dogs (on leash). Don't forget to pack some doggy hiking boots: Aurora's High Line Canal Trail is especially popular for long walks. Bring treats and waste bags; Colorado's trails are famously clean, and you'll want to keep them that way.
Can I have an RV delivered and set up at my campground in Aurora?
Yes, many hosts offer RV delivery in Aurora, taking the work out of your vacation. Simply choose 'Delivery' when browsing listings and select your drop-off location: like your driveway, Cherry Creek State Park, or nearby campgrounds. Your host will set up the RV, show you how everything works, and share local tips so you're never left guessing. This service is perfect for first-timers or visitors flying into Denver International Airport just 25 minutes away.
auroragov.org/How far can I travel with my RV rental from Aurora?
You've got a big range with your Aurora RV rental. Most listings include a daily mileage allowance (often 100-150 miles per day), making bucket-list trips to Rocky Mountain National Park (90 miles), Garden of the Gods (80 miles), or even Great Sand Dunes National Park (230 miles) totally doable. If you're dreaming bigger, just check each listing's mileage policy. Pro tip: You can always message the owner directly with your route ideas and coordinate all the details.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhere are the best places to park an RV overnight near Aurora?
Aurora is surrounded by great RV camping spots. Cherry Creek State Park is a local favorite with full hook-ups and lake views, just minutes from the city. Chatfield State Park (in Littleton, 40 minutes west) has spacious sites and great trails. For full amenities, try Flying Saucer RV Park or Garden of the Gods RV Resort if you're heading to Colorado Springs. Overnight street parking isn't allowed in most Aurora neighborhoods, so campgrounds are your best bet.
cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parks/CherryCreekWhen's the best time for an RV trip to Aurora?
RV camping in Aurora is best from late May through mid-October when daytime highs average 75-88°F and nights are pleasantly cool. Late September brings gorgeous fall colors in nearby parks. If you're visiting in winter, plan for chilly temps: highs around 45°F and lows dipping below freezing, especially at altitude. Winter RV trips are an adventure, and many rentals have heated tanks and insulation for cold-weather comfort. Spring and fall offer mild weather and thinner crowds.
Is Aurora a good place for first-time RV renters?
Aurora is an excellent place for your first RV rental: wide roads, easy access to highways, and lots of beginner-friendly campgrounds. Every renter gets a hands-on orientation at pickup and you can message hosts with any questions, big or small. If you're nervous about driving, try an RV delivery: your RV will be waiting at your site, ready to enjoy. The RVezy customer care team and 24/7 roadside assistance add layers of support for first-timers.
auroragov.org/What if I need help during my Aurora RV road trip?
No worries: with every RV rental in Aurora, you get 24/7 roadside assistance and access to RVezy's customer support team. Whether you have a flat tire on I-225 or a tricky battery in Cherry Creek State Park, professional help is just a call away. Most travelers find peace of mind knowing support follows you everywhere, from Denver's busy streets to backcountry trails near Estes Park. You're never on your own, even after hours.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionCan I take my Aurora RV rental across state lines or into the mountains?
You're cleared for a real Colorado adventure! Your RV rental from Aurora can be driven anywhere within the United States, including iconic routes into the Rockies, New Mexico, or Utah. Just confirm your plans with your host (message directly from the listing). Travel into Canada requires approval, but trips to Mexico are not allowed. Popular road trips include Aurora to Rocky Mountain National Park (90 miles) and south to Garden of the Gods (80 miles).
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much does it cost to rent an RV in Aurora, and are there ways to save?
You can expect RV rentals in Aurora to start around $90–$120 per night for smaller travel trailers and $160–$250 for motorhomes, with summer weekends most in demand. To get a cheap RV rental, book in the off-season (late spring or fall) or for longer trips: many hosts offer weekly discounts. Use filters to compare prices and snag instant book specials. Booking early lets you catch the best deals before festival season fills up the calendars.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Aurora%2C%20ColoradoWhat fuel budget should I plan for on an RV road trip from Aurora?
Most motorhome rentals in Aurora average about 8–12 miles per gallon (mpg), while campervan rentals can reach 15–20 mpg. Local gas prices usually run just below the national average. For a family RV trip from Aurora to Rocky Mountain National Park (180 miles round trip), plan for 15–25 gallons of fuel. Check gasbuddy.com for current prices before you roll. Packing light and driving at moderate speeds will stretch your mileage further.
When and how should I book campgrounds near Aurora?
Colorado's state parks, like Cherry Creek and Chatfield, can fill up months in advance for summer weekends. Booking 3–6 months out is a smart move during peak season. Reserve at cpwshop.com for state parks, or check recreation.gov for federal sites like Pawnee National Grassland. Private parks and smaller city campgrounds often have more availability, but reserve as early as possible to grab your ideal site. Late August and September tend to have more last-minute options.
cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parks/CherryCreekWhat are local driving conditions like for RVs in and around Aurora?
Navigating Aurora is a breeze: most streets are wide and well-marked. Rush hour traffic on I-225 and I-70 can slow things down between 4–6 PM, but you'll have easy highway access for quick escapes west to the Rockies. If driving downtown Denver or into the mountains, watch for changing weather and keep an eye out for sudden rain or hail, especially in late summer. Using RV delivery is a great way to skip city traffic altogether.
What amenities will I find at RV campgrounds near Aurora?
Campgrounds near Aurora range from scenic state parks with electric hookups to full-service RV parks. Cherry Creek State Park offers electric and water, dump stations, and showers. Chatfield State Park adds boat rentals, and Flying Saucer RV Park in Englewood has Wi-Fi and laundry. For water fill-ups, look for park spigots and dump stations (Cherry Creek and Chatfield both have these on site). Pro tip: local campgrounds are clean, accessible, and perfect for newbie RVers.
cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parks/CherryCreekWhat equipment and amenities are included in an Aurora RV rental?
Most RV rentals in Aurora come set up with full beds, a kitchen for easy mountain breakfasts, a bathroom with shower, and air conditioning for those sunny Colorado days. Many feature entertainment options like TV and DVD, and some offer Wi-Fi and a generator for more remote sites. Seatbelts are built in for each sleeping spot: check exact counts in each listing. Message your host if you need something specific, like cookware or bike racks.
Can I customize my RV rental with extras, and how does pickup work?
Absolutely, you'll find everything from bike racks and camping chairs to bedding and kitchen kits available as add-ons in Aurora RV rentals. Pickup is a breeze: just schedule your time with the host, and you'll get a personal walkthrough and on-the-spot answers to any questions. Some hosts offer early pickup or late drop-off for an extra fee. Use the RVezy filters to find your ideal mix of features, whether you want glamping luxury or basic adventure.
What should I know about security deposits and payment for RV rentals in Aurora?
Booking your RV rental in Aurora is safe and straightforward. You'll pay through RVezy's secure system (credit card required), with the security deposit clearly stated at checkout: usually between $500 and $1500, held just before your trip.
