Camping near Evergreen, Colorado
Evergreen sits in the Front Range foothills about 30 miles west of Denver, at roughly 7,200 feet in elevation. The town is surrounded by Denver Mountain Parks, Jefferson County Open Space, and Colorado state parks, which together give RV renters a mix of forested public campgrounds and full-hookup private parks within a short drive.
Chief Hosa Campground spans 58 acres within the 2,400 acres of Denver's Genesee Mountain Park, roughly ten minutes from downtown Evergreen off I-70. Dakota Ridge RV Park is a full-service option closer to Golden, while Applewood RV Resort and Cottonwood RV Camp round out the private-park choices in the corridor between Evergreen and the Denver metro.
For tent campers with rented vans or small rigs used as base vehicles, Staunton State Park lies about 40 miles southwest of Denver and offers hike-in sites in ponderosa and aspen forest. Larger RVs will want to stick with Chief Hosa or the private resorts, as most nearby state and open-space parks in this immediate area do not accommodate drive-up RV camping.
Things to do around Evergreen
Evergreen Lake anchors the town with a walking loop, paddle rentals, and fishing. Denver Mountain Parks trails, including Alderfer/Three Sisters and the Genesee bison overlook, are within a short drive. Bison sightings on hikes near Genesee are common, and Dinosaur Ridge and Red Rocks Park are both roughly twenty minutes east.
Staunton State Park offers more than 30 miles of multi-use trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and cross-country ski or snowshoe travel in winter. Rock climbers head to Elk Falls and the granite outcrops inside the park, and fishing is permitted in Davis Ponds and Elk Falls Pond.
Families staying at Dakota Ridge or Applewood are positioned for day trips into Golden for the Colorado Railroad Museum and Coors tours, or into Denver for the zoo and museums, while still returning to a quiet mountain base at night.

54° / 30°F 54 mmWet and variable; heavy late snow possible into May

The primary RV season runs from late May through late September. Chief Hosa's RV and campground facilities are open May through the fourth week of September, which is typical of Denver Mountain Parks sites at this elevation. Private parks like Dakota Ridge operate year-round, though the pool and spa are seasonal and weather-dependent.
Summer brings warm days, cool nights, and near-daily afternoon thunderstorms in July and August. Wildfire risk climbs through late summer and fall, and fire bans that restrict open flames and charcoal are common. Open fires and charcoal grills are prohibited year-round inside Staunton State Park, and all tent sites have bear-proof food storage boxes, so food discipline matters in black-bear country.
Spring is unpredictable above 7,000 feet, with heavy wet snow possible well into May and warm afternoons that swing back to freezing overnight. Fall aspen color typically peaks in late September, and winter access depends on plowing and tire or chain conditions on I-70.

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 campgrounds near Evergreen
Chief Hosa is reserved through Denver Parks and Recreation's online reservation system. Reservations are required, and closer Denver Mountain Parks sites often fill well in advance for summer weekends, so book as early as possible.
Staunton State Park bookings go through Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Reservations are required, can be made online at cpwshop.com or by phone at 1-800-244-5613, and open up to six months in advance of the arrival date. All 25 campsites at Staunton are walk-in tent sites, with no RV or drive-up camping inside the park.
Dakota Ridge RV Park, Applewood RV Resort, and Cottonwood RV Camp are private parks and are booked directly through the operators' own reservation systems. Summer weekends near Denver fill fastest, so lock in dates before finalizing an RV rental.
What to expect on-site
Elevation is the biggest adjustment for visitors. Evergreen sits above 7,000 feet, and campgrounds in the surrounding foothills range higher still, so plan on cooler nights than Denver and slower physical exertion the first day or two.
Hookup levels vary widely. Chief Hosa has tent sites, partial hookups with an on-site dump station, and full-hookup RV sites, plus coded-entry restrooms and coin-operated showers. Dakota Ridge offers 141 paved, level sites with 30- and 50-amp electric, water, sewer, a seasonal heated pool and spa, a camp store, laundry, and a dump station.
Expect some road noise at campgrounds close to I-70, black bear activity that requires strict food storage, and cell coverage that is generally solid on major carriers in the Evergreen and Genesee corridors but patchier deeper inside Staunton and other backcountry areas.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Evergreen, CO
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Evergreen, CO?
RV rental in Evergreen, CO is surprisingly affordable, with most travel trailers starting around $90 to $150 per night and Class C motorhomes ranging from $175 to $275 per night through RVezy. Campervans and smaller Class B rentals often land in the $130 to $200 range, making them a great cheap RV rental Evergreen option for couples. To save more, book midweek (Sunday through Thursday), travel in the shoulder months of late April, May, or October, and look for hosts offering generous free miles. Pro tip: Evergreen sits about 30 minutes from Denver but often commands lower nightly rates than DIA-area listings, so you can frequently score a better deal by picking up here.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Evergreen,ColoradoWhat kind of driver's license do I need to rent an RV in Evergreen?
Good news: a regular Class R (standard) Colorado driver's license, or the equivalent from your home state or country, is all you need to rent an RV in Evergreen for almost every rig on RVezy. Colorado only requires a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) for vehicles over 26,001 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), which virtually no personal RV reaches. You'll need to be 25 or older and verify your ID through the RVezy platform during booking. Visiting from abroad? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) and you're set. Most first-time renters are amazed at how simple it is to roll out of Evergreen behind the wheel of a campervan or Class C motorhome.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs rental protection included with my Evergreen RV rental?
Yes, every booking on RVezy automatically includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit the Rocky Mountain roads with real peace of mind. You select your protection level during checkout based on how much coverage and how low a deductible you want, and the plan helps cover accidental damage to the RV during your trip. It's not traditional auto insurance, but it provides meaningful financial protection while you're exploring Mount Blue Sky (formerly Mount Evans), Echo Lake, or anywhere else in the Front Range. That's especially reassuring for first-timers driving mountain passes, where a little extra confidence goes a long way.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Evergreen RV trip?
Booking is low-risk because RVezy (not the host) sets the cancellation policy, so the same rules apply across every listing. Refunds depend on how far in advance you cancel relative to your pickup date, and RVezy support can help if circumstances like wildfire smoke, blizzards, or I-70 closures force a change, which can happen in the Colorado Rockies. Because the policy is standardized, you won't see different cancellation rules on different listings. If you're worried about Front Range weather curveballs, message your host early and reach out to RVezy support, which is available before, during, and after every trip to help sort things out.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an Evergreen RV trip?
Absolutely, a pet-friendly RV rental in Evergreen is easy to find on RVezy: just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter and you'll see listings where dogs are welcome. Many Evergreen hosts are dog lovers themselves and sometimes include extras like food bowls or pet beds. Once you're on the road, your pup will love the off-leash dog park at Elk Meadow Open Space, the dog-friendly Bear Creek Trail, and the loop around Evergreen Lake (leashed). Colorado Parks and Wildlife campgrounds welcome leashed dogs at most sites. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any pet fee, and ask about their favorite local dog-friendly hike.
cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parksCan the RV be delivered to my campground or vacation rental?
Yes, RV delivery in Evergreen is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it's a game-changer if you're nervous about driving a motorhome on I-70 or the winding stretches of Squaw Pass Road. Many local hosts will deliver and set up your rig directly at Chatfield State Park, Golden Gate Canyon State Park, Reverend's Ridge Campground, or even a friend's driveway in the foothills. They'll level the RV, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before handing over the keys. Filter by Delivery on the search page to see exactly which Evergreen hosts offer it and their delivery radius, which often covers much of the Denver metro and Jefferson County.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Evergreen,ColoradoHow far can I drive on my Evergreen RV rental?
You have plenty of range for an epic Evergreen RV trip. Most hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per night, and you can purchase extra miles upfront at a discount or even find an RV rental with unlimited mileage by filtering for it on RVezy. From Evergreen, popular drives include Rocky Mountain National Park (about 80 miles north), Great Sand Dunes National Park (around 230 miles south), Mesa Verde (about 380 miles southwest), Steamboat Springs (about 160 miles northwest), and Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs (about 90 miles south). Pro tip: estimate your full route before booking and buy your mileage package in advance to save versus the per-mile overage rate.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Evergreen,ColoradoWhere are the best campgrounds near Evergreen, Colorado?
Some of the best campgrounds near Evergreen are within an hour's drive. Chatfield State Park (about 30 minutes southeast in Littleton) offers RV sites with electric hookups, a dump station, showers, and reservations up to six months out. Golden Gate Canyon State Park's Reverend's Ridge Campground sits at roughly 9,100 feet with electric sites among the pines. West Chicago Creek Campground in Arapaho National Forest (about 25 minutes west) offers rustic sites at around 9,600 feet for a true alpine feel. Echo Lake Campground near the base of Mount Blue Sky is a summer favorite. Book Colorado state park sites through CPW's reservation system and national forest sites on Recreation.gov, both opening six months in advance.
cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parksWhen is the best time of year to rent an RV in Evergreen?
The sweet spot for RV camping Evergreen is mid-May through late September, when daytime highs sit in the comfortable 70s to low 80s F and high country roads like Mount Blue Sky Scenic Byway and Guanella Pass are open and snow-free. July is the warmest month, with average highs in the upper 70s to low 80s and cool nights in the 40s and 50s, perfect for campfires at 7,220 feet of elevation. September brings gold aspen colors and thinner crowds, a local favorite. Winter rentals work well for ski trips to Loveland or Echo Mountain, just book a four-season RV with heated tanks. Pro tip: afternoon thunderstorms are common in July and August, so plan hikes for the morning.
weather.gov/bou/I've never driven an RV before. Is renting in Evergreen a good idea?
First time renting an RV? You're going to love starting in Evergreen because every RVezy host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup, covering propane, slides, water systems, and the dashboard before you ever turn the key. For extra confidence, choose a smaller Class B campervan or 24-foot Class C, and ask your host about delivery so you can skip the city driving entirely. Stick to wider roads like US-285 or I-70 East toward Denver for your first miles, and save tighter mountain passes like Squaw Pass for after you've settled in. RVezy support is available by phone or chat, and roadside assistance is included with every protection plan, so help is one call away if anything feels off.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I have a breakdown or flat tire during my trip?
You're covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so a flat tire on US-40, a dead battery at Echo Lake, or an issue with the propane system is just a phone call away from being solved. Help can be dispatched anywhere in Colorado, including the high country around Idaho Springs, Bailey, and Conifer. Your host is also a great first call for quick questions about quirks of their specific rig. Save both RVezy's support number and your host's contact in your phone before you leave Evergreen, snap a picture of the RV's VIN and license plate, and you'll be ready for anything the Rockies throw at you.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Evergreen RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, road-tripping out of Colorado is welcome on most RVezy rentals. An RV road trip from Evergreen across state lines into Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, or even Canada is allowed by many hosts, since the protection plan and insurance generally cover travel throughout the US and Canada. Just confirm with your host before booking, especially for Canada trips, so they can note it on the reservation. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage does not extend there. Popular cross-border routes from Evergreen include Grand Teton (about 480 miles north), Moab and Arches (about 350 miles west), and Yellowstone (about 560 miles northwest).
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel economy and gas budget should I plan for?
Plan smart and you'll keep fuel costs reasonable on your Colorado RV trip. Class B campervans typically get 18 to 22 mpg, Class C motorhomes average 8 to 12 mpg, and Class A motorhomes get about 7 to 10 mpg. Most Evergreen rentals run on regular gasoline, though some diesel pushers exist. Colorado gas prices typically hover near or just above the national average, with stations in Evergreen, Conifer, and El Rancho convenient before heading west on I-70. Pro tip: top off in Idaho Springs or Georgetown before climbing into the high country, since fuel gets pricier the higher and more remote you go. Driving the speed limit on I-70 climbs (not racing the trucks) noticeably improves mileage.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Evergreen?
For the best campgrounds near Evergreen, book about six months ahead, which is when Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) releases new dates on its reservation system. Colorado state parks are reservation-based, so plan ahead for places like Chatfield, Golden Gate Canyon, and Staunton State Park. For Arapaho National Forest sites like Echo Lake and West Chicago Creek, use Recreation.gov, which also opens reservations six months out. Summer weekends fill quickly, so set a calendar reminder. Pro tip: midweek stays (Sunday through Thursday) are dramatically easier to book and tend to be quieter at campgrounds.
cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parksWhat's it like driving an RV around Evergreen and the Rocky Mountain foothills?
Driving around Evergreen is more scenic than scary, and most renters settle in within an hour. The town sits at about 7,220 feet, with main routes like CO-74 (Evergreen Parkway) and I-70 well-maintained and RV-friendly. Expect grades on Floyd Hill and Squaw Pass Road, so use lower gears descending and watch your engine temperature climbing. Colorado's Traction Law (Code 15) can kick in between September and May, requiring snow tires or chains on I-70 during storms, so check CDOT's COtrip.org before you go. Avoid Mount Blue Sky Scenic Byway in anything over 30 feet because of tight switchbacks above tree line. Take it slow, use pullouts to let traffic by, and you'll be cruising the foothills confidently.
codot.gov/travelWhat amenities will I find at campgrounds near Evergreen?
Campgrounds near Evergreen range from full-service to rustic, and most have everything you need. Chatfield State Park and Cherry Creek State Park offer electric hookups (with water at many sites), dump stations, showers, and laundry. Golden Gate Canyon's Reverend's Ridge has electric sites, drinking water, flush toilets, and a dump station. National forest campgrounds like West Chicago Creek and Echo Lake are more rustic, with vault toilets and potable water but no hookups, so plan to dry-camp. Need to dump tanks or fill fresh water in town? Travel centers along I-70 and several Denver-area private RV parks offer day-use dump service, typically $10 to $25.
cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parksWhat features and amenities come standard in an Evergreen RV rental?
You'll be impressed by what's packed into a typical motorhome rental Evergreen guests book. Most RVs sleep 4 to 8 people and come with a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink), a bathroom with toilet and shower, a propane furnace (essential at this altitude), air conditioning, and seatbelted travel seats. Many include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor speakers, and an awning for evenings at camp. Wi-Fi and onboard generators vary by listing, so check the amenities section or message the host to confirm. For chilly Colorado nights, look for heated holding tanks and good insulation, especially shoulder season. Family RV trip Evergreen renters love? Class C bunkhouse models with a separate kids' sleeping area.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Evergreen,ColoradoWhat add-ons can I get with my rental, and how does pickup/dropoff work?
RVezy hosts in Evergreen offer plenty of useful add-ons to customize your trip. Common extras include camping chairs and tables, kitchen and linen kits, portable generators, bike racks, propane refills, and prep-stocked groceries. Some hosts even include outdoor gear like coolers and firewood. Pickup is usually at the host's home base in Evergreen, Conifer, Bailey, or nearby Denver suburbs, with delivery offered as a paid upgrade. Mileage policies typically include 100 to 150 free miles per night, with extra miles available at a discount when added in advance. Always do the walkaround at pickup and drop-off together with your host, take dated photos, and you're set.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Evergreen,ColoradoHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and fully handled through the RVezy platform, so you never need to hand cash or a check to your Evergreen host. You'll pay your trip total (rental, protection, taxes, and any add-ons) by credit or debit card when you book. The security deposit is separate from your booking payment and is placed as an authorization hold on your card before pickup, then released after the trip if the RV is returned in the same condition. Deposit amounts vary by rig. To avoid issues, take time-stamped photos and a short video at pickup and dropoff covering the exterior, tanks, mileage, and interior, and you'll have a smooth, deposit-back experience.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Evergreen in the winter for skiing?
Yes, winter RV rental in Evergreen is a fantastic option for skiers heading to Loveland, Echo Mountain, Winter Park, or Keystone. Many local hosts keep their rigs available year-round and equip them for cold weather with heated holding tanks, dual-pane windows, propane furnaces, and skirting. Look for listings labeled four-season or message hosts to confirm winter readiness. Several Front Range RV parks stay open all winter, including Chatfield State Park and Dakota Ridge RV Resort in Golden, both offering full hookups so you can plug into shore power and keep things toasty. Pro tip: pack a heated water hose, follow Colorado's Traction Law on I-70, and you've got a cozy ski basecamp on wheels just minutes from the slopes.
