Campgrounds near Cripple Creek, Colorado
Cripple Creek sits at roughly 9,500 feet on the southwest flank of Pikes Peak in Teller County, Colorado. The town is a former gold-rush camp turned small-stakes gaming destination, and its surrounding hills, aspen groves, and reservoirs make it a practical base for an RV trip into the southern Front Range.
RV travelers have a mix of options within a short drive. Cripple Creek Hospitality House & Travel Park and Cripple Creek KOA Holiday sit closest to town services and casinos, while Rocking M Ranch Campground offers a more rural setting. For a state-park experience, Mueller State Park lies just north near Divide and provides forested sites with mountain views. Golden Bell Camp and Conference Center rounds out the group and family options in the area.
Expect thin air, cool nights even in midsummer, and winding two-lane approaches. Highway 67 from Divide is the standard route in, and most RV-friendly campgrounds cluster between Cripple Creek, Victor, and the Divide area.
Things to do around Cripple Creek
In town, the Cripple Creek & Victor Narrow Gauge Railroad, the Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine tour, and the Heritage & Mining Museum give kids and adults a working sense of the district's mining history. The downtown strip has casinos, restaurants, and seasonal donkey herds that roam the streets in warmer months.
Mueller State Park covers roughly 5,100 acres of mountain meadows, aspen and conifer forests, with 50 miles of scenic trails used for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, snowshoeing, sledding, and cross-country skiing. Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Eleven Mile Reservoir, and the Pikes Peak Highway are all within about an hour, giving RV families a full week of day-trip options.

The prime RV window runs from late May through mid-October. Mueller State Park's reservable campsite dates run from approximately mid-May through mid-October, with exact dates changing each year. Summer daytime temperatures at this elevation are pleasant, but afternoon thunderstorms are routine in July and August and overnight lows can drop into the low 50s Fahrenheit.
September and the first half of October bring aspen color to the surrounding hills and are among the busiest weekends of the year. Book early for fall foliage stays, particularly at Mueller and the closer-in Cripple Creek parks.
Winter is quieter. Mueller offers year-round camping, and limited winter campsites are available from October to May, with electric hookups at a subset of sites in the Peak View and Revenuers Ridge loops.

How to book a campsite near Cripple Creek
For Mueller State Park, use the Colorado Parks and Wildlife system. Reservations can be made online at cpwshop.com or by phone, up to six months in advance of the arrival date. The maximum stay is 14 days within a 28-day period, and a maximum of six people, two motorized vehicles, and one camping unit are allowed per individual site. A valid Colorado Parks and Wildlife vehicle pass is required in addition to the campsite fee.
Private parks including Cripple Creek Hospitality House & Travel Park, Cripple Creek KOA Holiday, Rocking M Ranch Campground, and Golden Bell Camp and Conference Center take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. Summer weekends and fall foliage weekends fill first, so book several months out.
What to expect at Cripple Creek campgrounds
Elevation is the biggest variable. Sites sit between roughly 9,000 and 10,000 feet, which affects RV generator performance, cooking times, and sleep for first-time visitors. Bring layers: summer nights are cold, and snow is possible in any month.
Fire restrictions are common. At Mueller State Park campfires are prohibited, gas fire pits are allowed, and outdoor cooking is limited to grills and stoves fueled by propane, natural gas, or liquid fuel. Check current Teller County and U.S. Forest Service fire orders before arrival.
Wildlife is active. Mueller is black bear country, and elk, mule deer, hawks, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep are also common in the surrounding hills. Store food in hard-sided RV compartments per park regulations and keep coolers inside overnight.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Cripple Creek, CO
How much does an RV rental in Cripple Creek cost?
RV rental in Cripple Creek, CO is surprisingly affordable, with travel trailers often starting around $90 to $150 per night and Class C motorhomes typically running $175 to $275 per night. Because Cripple Creek sits at 9,494 feet in the Rockies, demand peaks during the summer casino and Donkey Derby Days season, so shoulder months like late May and September deliver the best value. To find a cheap RV rental in Cripple Creek, filter by your dates first, then sort by price and look for hosts offering free local delivery or weeknight discounts. Pro tip: bundling 5+ nights often unlocks weekly rates that can save you 10–20% on your Colorado RV trip.
visitcripplecreek.com/What license do I need to rent an RV in Cripple Creek, Colorado?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Cripple Creek. Colorado does not require a special RV endorsement or Commercial Driver's License (CDL) for the motorhomes and trailers you'll find on RVezy, and the minimum age to rent is 25. Visiting from outside the U.S.? Pick up an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country before you fly, and bring it alongside your home license. ID verification happens quickly inside the RVezy platform during booking, so you can lock in your dates today and have everything squared away before pickup in Teller County.
dmv.colorado.gov/drivers-licenseIs RV rental insurance and roadside assistance included?
Yes, every RV rental in Cripple Creek booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance. The protection plan covers most damage to the vehicle and gives you real financial peace of mind while you are winding up Highway 67 or exploring the Pikes Peak region. You choose your protection level right inside the booking flow, so you can match coverage to your comfort. Higher tiers lower your out-of-pocket responsibility, which is a smart move on mountain roads where weather can be unpredictable. Pro tip: review the protection plan details before you confirm so you know exactly what is covered on your Colorado RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Cripple Creek trip changes?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy applies a standard cancellation policy to every reservation, including a grace period right after booking so you can lock in dates with confidence. Because Cripple Creek sits high in the Rockies and weather can shift fast, knowing you have flexibility matters. Refund amounts depend on how far in advance you cancel. RVezy (not the individual host) manages the policy, and the full terms are available in the RVezy Help Center before you confirm payment. Pro tip: book early for July weekends around the Salute to American Veterans Rally, then relax knowing your reservation is protected.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an RV rental in Cripple Creek?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental in Cripple Creek is easy to find on RVezy. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter and you'll see hosts who welcome dogs (and sometimes cats) along for the ride. Cripple Creek is a fantastic dog town: leashed pups are welcome on the Vindicator Valley Trail, around Mueller State Park's pet-friendly loops, and on patios along Bennett Avenue. Many area campgrounds, including Cripple Creek KOA and Lost Burro Campground, allow dogs with no fuss. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet fees (usually $25 to $75 per trip) and ask for their favorite local dog-friendly hikes, you'll get insider intel for your Colorado adventure.
cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parks/muellerCan the RV be delivered to my campground in Cripple Creek?
Yes, RV delivery in Cripple Creek is offered by many RVezy hosts and it's the smartest move if you're new to mountain driving. Your host will tow or drive the motorhome to your campground, level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before handing over the keys. Popular delivery destinations include the Cripple Creek KOA on County Road 81, Mueller State Park, and private parcels around Victor. Delivery fees usually run $2 to $4 per mile from the host's location. Pro tip: a delivered, set-up rig means you skip the hairpin turns on Phantom Canyon Road and start your trip with a cold drink in hand.
cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parks/muellerHow far can I drive, and what about mileage limits?
You've got real range from Cripple Creek. Most RVezy hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per night, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect for a Colorado RV trip with multiple stops. Additional miles typically cost $0.30 to $0.45 each if you go over. From Cripple Creek you can easily reach Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs (about 45 miles), Royal Gorge Bridge in Cañon City (about 50 miles), Great Sand Dunes National Park (about 150 miles), and Buena Vista's hot springs (about 90 miles). Pro tip: map your route before booking and ask the host to bump your mileage allowance, many will, especially for longer rentals.
codot.gov/travelWhere are the best campgrounds near Cripple Creek?
You have great options for RV camping in Cripple Creek within a short drive of downtown. Cripple Creek KOA Holiday on County Road 81 offers full hookups, a pool, and shuttle service to the casinos.

Mueller State Park, about 15 miles north on Highway 67, has 132 sites with electric hookups, dump station, and hiking right out your door.

Pro tip: Mueller's sites book fast for summer, so reserve early on the state park system.
cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parks/mueller/Pages/Camping.aspxWhen is the best time to visit Cripple Creek in an RV?
The sweet spot for an RV trip from Cripple Creek is mid-June through mid-September, when daytime highs sit in the comfortable 70s°F and nights cool to the 40s°F at this 9,494-foot elevation. June brings wildflowers, July hosts the famous Salute to American Veterans Rally, and late September delivers golden aspen on the Gold Belt Tour. Winters are snowy with lows in the single digits, so most casual renters target the green season. Pro tip: September weekdays are the local secret, fewer crowds at Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine tours, open campsites at Mueller, and pleasant mountain weather that still feels like summer.
weather.gov/pub/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving in the mountains?
You'll do great, even on your first time renting an RV in Cripple Creek. Every RVezy host gives a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through driving, hookups, the generator, and the dump valves before you roll out. Class C motorhomes and smaller travel trailers are the easiest to handle on Highway 67's curves up from Divide. Stick to paved routes (skip the unpaved Phantom Canyon Road if you're nervous), use lower gears on descents, and take your time, locals expect it. Pro tip: choose delivery for your first trip so the rig is already parked, leveled, and ready when you arrive in town.
codot.gov/travel/mountain-passesWhat happens if something breaks down during my trip?
You are covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so help is one phone call away whether you have a flat tire on Teller County Road 1, a dead battery at Mueller State Park, or a propane issue at your campsite. The roadside team coordinates towing, tire service, lockout help, and mechanical support across Colorado. Your host is also reachable directly through the RVezy app for quick questions about the specifics of their rig. Pro tip: save the RVezy support number and your host"s contact in your phone before leaving cell range, signal can get spotty between Cripple Creek and Victor.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionCan I take the RV out of Colorado or across the border?
Yes, interstate travel is welcome on most RVezy rentals, so an RV road trip from Cripple Creek can easily roll into New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, or Kansas. Popular routes include Cripple Creek to Taos (about 220 miles), Cripple Creek to Moab via US-50 (about 350 miles), and Cripple Creek to Yellowstone's south entrance (about 580 miles). Just confirm your itinerary with the host when you book so they can adjust mileage if needed. One important note: travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage doesn't extend there. Pro tip: the San Juan Skyway loop through Durango is a bucket-list Colorado RV trip.
codot.gov/travelWhat kind of fuel economy and gas budget should I plan for?
Plan smart and fuel won't surprise you. Class C motorhomes around Cripple Creek typically get 8 to 10 miles per gallon, Class B campervans deliver 16 to 20 MPG, and a truck towing a travel trailer averages 10 to 13 MPG. Colorado gas prices generally run about $3.20 to $3.80 per gallon, with the closest stations in Cripple Creek on Bennett Avenue and larger fill-ups in Woodland Park or Divide. For a 4-night loop covering 300 miles in a Class C, budget roughly $120 to $150 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up in Woodland Park before climbing to Cripple Creek, prices at higher elevation small towns are usually 20 to 40 cents higher.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground?
Reserve early and you'll have your pick. For an RV trip from Cripple Creek in July or August, book Mueller State Park 5 to 6 months ahead through Colorado Parks and Wildlife's reservation system, sites release on a rolling 6-month window. Cripple Creek KOA and Lost Burro Campground typically need 2 to 3 months of lead time for summer weekends. For September weekday stays, 3 to 4 weeks is usually enough. Pro tip: if Mueller is full, check the dispersed camping options in Pike National Forest off Teller County Road 1, free, first-come, and surrounded by aspen groves. Always confirm hookups match your RV's needs before locking in.
cpwshop.com/What are the local driving conditions like around Cripple Creek?
Cripple Creek driving is manageable once you know the lay of the land. Highway 67 from Divide is paved, two-lane, and winding, with steep grades, take it slow and use engine braking on descents. Phantom Canyon Road is a scenic dirt road with one-lane tunnels and is not suitable for larger motorhomes or trailers. Summer afternoon thunderstorms roll in fast, so plan to be parked by mid-afternoon. Winter brings snow and ice from November through April, when traction laws may apply on Highway 24. Pro tip: download offline maps before you leave Colorado Springs, cell service drops between Divide and Cripple Creek.
codot.gov/travelWhat amenities will I find at Cripple Creek campgrounds?
Local campgrounds are well-equipped for a comfortable stay. Cripple Creek KOA offers full hookups (water, 30/50-amp electric, sewer), Wi-Fi, laundry, showers, and a heated pool. Mueller State Park provides electric hookups, potable water fill stations, vault and flush toilets, plus a dump station near the entrance. Lost Burro has water, electric, and a dump station with creekside ambiance. For dumping and water fills between sites, the Cripple Creek KOA welcomes non-guests for a small fee, and Woodland Park is the closest off-mountain option. Pro tip: top off fresh water in Woodland Park before climbing, high-elevation campgrounds occasionally shut potable water lines during cold snaps.
cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parks/mueller/Pages/Camping.aspxWhat features and amenities come with the RV itself?
Your motorhome rental in Cripple Creek comes ready for adventure. Expect comfortable sleeping (queen beds in Class C rigs, convertible dinettes for kids), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, plus a bathroom with shower and toilet. Most rigs include a roof AC, furnace for chilly Rocky Mountain nights (lows can hit the 30s F even in July), a generator or solar, and seatbelts for every traveler. Many hosts include a TV, and some offer mobile Wi-Fi hotspots as an add-on. Pro tip: ask your host about a propane fire pit, fire bans are common around Teller County in summer, but propane pits are usually allowed when wood fires are not.
rvezy.com/What add-ons and pickup options do hosts typically offer?
Hosts make your RV rental in Cripple Creek easier with practical add-ons. Common options include linen and kitchen kits ($50 to $100), camping chairs and outdoor rugs ($25 to $50), generators with fuel ($25 to $50 per day), bike racks, and portable Wi-Fi.

Mileage policies range from around 100 free miles per night to unlimited, and dropoff times are typically by late morning. Pro tip: use Instant Book listings if you are booking last-minute for a Donkey Derby Days weekend, those hosts confirm immediately so you can finalize plans.
visitcripplecreek.com/eventsHow do payments and the security deposit work?
Payment is straightforward and secure. When you book an RV rental in Cripple Creek through RVezy, you pay through the platform, no cash or off-platform transfers. A refundable security deposit (typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the rig) is held separately before pickup and released after dropoff once the host confirms the RV is returned in good shape with the tanks handled per their listing. Final charges, like extra mileage or generator hours, are settled through the app. Pro tip: take date-stamped photos and a quick walk-around video at pickup and dropoff, it protects both you and the host and makes any deposit questions painless.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksHow should I prepare for cold weather and high elevation in Cripple Creek?
Cripple Creek"s high elevation means cool nights year-round, and that is part of the magic. Even in July, temperatures can drop into the 30s F after sunset, so look for an RV with a working furnace, propane top-off, and a campsite with 30-amp electric for a space heater backup. For shoulder-season or winter family RV trips in Cripple Creek, ask the host about heated holding tanks, tank skirts, and whether the rig is rated for sub-freezing use. Hydrate well, the altitude hits harder than visitors expect. Pro tip: spend your first night in Woodland Park before heading up, it helps everyone acclimate and makes the rest of your Colorado RV adventure more enjoyable.
