Camping near Georgetown, Colorado
Georgetown sits in Clear Creek County along I-70, roughly an hour west of Denver, at an elevation above 8,500 feet. The town serves as a base for exploring the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, the Guanella Pass Scenic Byway, and the Mount Blue Sky (formerly Mount Evans) corridor. Options for RV travelers cluster east along I-70 toward Idaho Springs and Central City, since Georgetown itself has limited full-hookup capacity.
Closest to town, Idaho Springs RV Resort & Campground and Cottonwood RV Camp offer sites within a short drive. Farther east, Denver West / Central City KOA Holiday provides a resort-style option with more amenities, while Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon and Lostfork Basecamp sit near Golden Gate Canyon State Park for guests who want a quieter, forested setting.
Expect thin air, cool nights, and rapid weather changes. Higher-elevation Forest Service campgrounds along Guanella Pass reach above 10,000 feet and lack hookups, so most RV renters stage near I-70 and day-trip into the alpine terrain.
Things to do around Georgetown
The Georgetown Loop Railroad runs a narrow-gauge historic route between Georgetown and Silver Plume and is a reliable family activity. In town, the Hotel de Paris Museum and Hamill House cover the district's silver-mining history, and downtown is compact enough to walk with kids.
Outdoor options fan out in every direction. The Guanella Pass Scenic Byway climbs south from town toward trailheads for Silver Dollar Lake and Mount Bierstadt; Georgetown Lake offers shoreline fishing and, in winter, ice fishing. Clear Creek is stocked and popular for fly fishing.
Day trips reach Mount Blue Sky, Loveland Pass, Golden Gate Canyon State Park's hiking and mountain-biking network, and Idaho Springs for hot springs and food. Bighorn sheep viewing along I-70 near Georgetown is common in late fall and winter.

43° / 21°F 60 mmSnowmelt and mud; high-country sites still closed

December - February
27° / 9°F 30 mmCold and snowy; I-70 traction laws often in effect
Peak camping season runs from late May through September. Most Forest Service campgrounds along Guanella Pass open once snow clears, typically around Memorial Day weekend, and close in September as overnight temperatures drop. Daytime highs in summer sit in the upper 60s and low 70s Fahrenheit, and overnight lows can drop below 40 degrees even in July at higher elevations. Afternoon thunderstorms are common from July into August.
September brings aspen color and cooler nights, with the first snow possible above 10,000 feet by month's end. The Guanella Pass Scenic Byway sees heavy weekend traffic during leaf-peeping season and higher segments can close once snow accumulates.
Winter is cold and snowy. Georgetown averages well over 100 inches of annual snowfall, and I-70 chain and traction laws are enforced during storms. Most rustic Forest Service sites are closed for the season, and year-round options are limited to private RV parks along the I-70 corridor. Spring is muddy, with snowmelt running into May and lingering closures at higher elevations.

We could not have had a better experience! Joe was just incredibly helpful. The camper was perfect for us. Would do it again in a heartbeat, in fact my grandson didn’t want to leave.
Melissa M. - Aug 2025
Thanks Joe for everything. The RV was perfect for our little family's trip. We spent 31 nights and travelled through 7 States and 9 National Parks driving over 3,500 miles. The RV was our little home and we miss it! perfect for us and our two kids who slept in the bed above the cab. The kitchen was well laid out and had everything we needed. The added bonuses wer having the bike rack for our three bikes and Starlink! I run my own business and was able to stay on top of my work wherever we pulled up at night. Highly recommend renting from Joe and this RV.

How to book campgrounds near Georgetown
Private RV parks such as Idaho Springs RV Resort & Campground, Cottonwood RV Camp, and Denver West / Central City KOA Holiday are booked directly through each property's website or the KOA reservation system. Summer weekends and Colorado holidays fill early, so reserve two to three months out for July and August.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife handles state park reservations, including Golden Gate Canyon State Park, through cpwshop.com. Bookings open six months ahead on a rolling window and popular sites are often claimed the day they release. Forest Service campgrounds along Guanella Pass, including Guanella Pass Campground and Clear Lake, are on Recreation.gov on a six-month window, with a small share of first-come, first-served sites at Clear Lake.
Private options like Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon and Lostfork Basecamp are typically booked through their own sites or partner platforms.
What to expect on the ground
Georgetown itself has no large in-town RV park, so most renters stage at properties along I-70 near Idaho Springs, Silver Plume, or Central City. Sites at Idaho Springs RV Resort & Campground and Cottonwood RV Camp put travelers within minutes of Georgetown by highway, while Denver West / Central City KOA Holiday sits above Clear Creek on a higher plateau.
Elevation is the biggest adjustment. Coming from sea level, expect shortness of breath, disrupted sleep the first night, and stronger sun exposure. Hydrate more than usual and keep kids in layers, since temperatures drop fast after sunset.
Cell coverage is reliable in Georgetown and along I-70 but fades quickly on side roads and Guanella Pass, and there is no cell or internet service inside Golden Gate Canyon State Park. Bears are active from spring through fall, so store food and trash in hard-sided vehicles or provided lockers. Fire restrictions are common in summer, so check current-stage rules before arrival.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Georgetown, CO
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Georgetown, CO?
RV rental in Georgetown is affordable through RVezy's peer-to-peer marketplace. Travel trailers typically start around $90 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes range from $175 to $275, and larger Class A motorhomes run $250 to $400. Because Georgetown sits right off I-70 at Exit 228, basing your trip here saves fuel compared with driving up from Denver. For a cheap RV rental in Georgetown, book midweek, travel in May or late September, and filter for tent trailers or smaller campervans. Pro tip: many hosts offer weekly discounts for 4 to 7 night stays, so message them before booking to confirm pricing.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Georgetown%2C%20ColoradoDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Georgetown, Colorado?
A regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Georgetown for nearly every rig on RVezy. Colorado does not require a Commercial Driver's License for personal-use motorhomes under 26,001 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, which covers essentially every Class B campervan, Class C motorhome, travel trailer, and fifth wheel on the platform. Approved RVezy renters are generally 25 or older and must upload a clear photo of a valid license during the ID confirmation step. Visiting from abroad? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit and you're set to drive Guanella Pass like a local.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection and roadside assistance comes with my Georgetown RV rental?
Every RV rental in Georgetown booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can drive into the Rockies with peace of mind. Protection plans cover most physical damage to the vehicle, and you choose your preferred coverage level during checkout, which lets you balance the security deposit against your comfort level. Roadside assistance handles flats, lockouts, jump-starts, and towing, which matters when you're climbing toward 11,669-foot Guanella Pass. Pro tip: snap photos of the RV at pickup and dropoff during the host's walkthrough; that five-minute habit keeps your trip stress-free.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Georgetown RV rental?
Booking your Georgetown RV trip is low-risk because RVezy, not individual hosts, sets the cancellation policy across the platform. There's a money-back grace period right after you book, and the refund amount depends on how far ahead of your trip start date you cancel. Hosts cannot change these terms, so the experience is consistent listing to listing. If a host cancels on you, RVezy refunds your booking or helps you rebook. Pro tip: book early to lock in the best campervan rental Georgetown options, and reach out to RVezy support if mountain weather forces a change to your plans.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Georgetown, CO RV rental?
Yes, and Georgetown is a great destination for dogs. Filter for Pet-Friendly when browsing pet-friendly RV rental Georgetown options on RVezy, and you'll find plenty of hosts who welcome four-legged co-pilots. Once you're here, dog-friendly trails are everywhere: Georgetown Lake has a flat leashed loop perfect for after-dinner walks, the Guanella Pass Scenic Byway has multiple leash-friendly pullouts, and the Arapaho National Forest allows leashed pets at Guanella Pass Campground and Clear Lake Campground. Pro tip: bring a tie-out and water bowl, because elevations above 8,500 feet dehydrate dogs faster than expected.
fs.usda.gov/recarea/arp/recarea/?recid=28376Can the RV be delivered to my campground in Georgetown?
Yes, RV delivery is one of the most popular options for an RV rental in Georgetown, especially for first-timers who would rather not drive a 30-foot motorhome through the I-70 mountain corridor. Many local hosts will deliver the RV directly to Guanella Pass Campground, Clear Lake Campground, or a private driveway in town, then handle full setup including leveling, slide-outs, propane, and a walkthrough. Delivery fees are set by the host and commonly run a few dollars per mile from their location. Pro tip: ask your host for delivery to your campsite when you book; you'll arrive to a fully-prepped rig and start your Georgetown RV trip with a campfire instead of a manual.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106474-Delivery-of-the-RVHow far can I drive on an RV rental from Georgetown?
Georgetown's location on I-70 makes it a strong launchpad for a Colorado RV road trip. Hosts set their own mileage policies, with many offering 100 to 150 free miles per day and some advertising RV rental with unlimited mileage, especially on weekly bookings. Popular routes are easy from here: Rocky Mountain National Park is about 90 miles north, Glenwood Springs sits roughly 135 miles west on I-70, Aspen is about 160 miles southwest, and Great Sand Dunes National Park is around 230 miles south. Pro tip: filter for unlimited mileage listings if you're planning a multi-park loop, and message hosts to confirm the route works for their rig.
nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/directions.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Georgetown, CO?
The best campgrounds near Georgetown sit within a short drive and put you steps from alpine lakes, 14ers, and bighorn sheep country. Guanella Pass Campground, south of town on the Guanella Pass Scenic Byway, has 18 sites at high elevation with several RV-friendly spots reservable through Recreation.gov. Clear Lake Campground is ideal for smaller rigs. Heading east toward Idaho Springs, West Chicago Creek Campground offers 16 quiet sites at 9,600 feet. Cottonwood RV Park in Idaho Springs provides full hookups. Pro tip: reserve Guanella Pass through Recreation.gov up to six months ahead, because summer weekends sell out fast.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232306When is the best time for RV camping in Georgetown, CO?
For RV camping in Georgetown, the sweet spot is mid-June through mid-September, when daytime highs are comfortable and Guanella Pass is fully open. July is the warmest month with average highs near 75 degrees and cool nights, making for sleep-with-the-windows-open evenings at 8,500 feet. September brings golden aspens and quieter campgrounds, a local favorite. Spring snow can linger into May at higher elevations, and the Georgetown area sees significant annual snowfall, so winter rentals are best left to seasoned cold-weather campers. Pro tip: book early September for fall foliage on Guanella Pass without the summer crowds.
weather.gov/bou/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving in the Georgetown mountains?
Yes, and Georgetown is a great place for first time renting an RV because hosts here are used to coaching new drivers. Every RVezy host provides a hands-on orientation at pickup that covers driving, leveling, propane, the water system, and the dump process, and they're a quick text away during your trip. For nervous drivers, choose a Class B campervan or a 22 to 25-foot Class C, which handle I-70's mountain grades and Georgetown's narrow historic streets easily. Pro tip: avoid Eisenhower Tunnel traffic by traveling Tuesday through Thursday, and skip Guanella Pass in larger RVs since the Forest Service does not recommend the byway for big rigs.
fs.usda.gov/recarea/arp/recarea/?recid=28376What happens if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You're never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance for flats, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing, which is especially reassuring when you're at high elevation on Guanella Pass with patchy cell service. Your host is also your first call for anything mechanical or system-related (think furnace, slide-outs, or the water pump), and RVezy's customer support team is available before, during, and after every trip if you need an extra hand. Pro tip: download offline maps for the Clear Creek County area before leaving Georgetown, and save your host's number and the RVezy support line to your phone's favorites at pickup.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityCan I take my Georgetown RV rental into other states or across the border?
Cross-state travel is welcome and common from Georgetown. You can roll an RV rental into Wyoming for Grand Teton, Utah for Arches and Moab (around 350 miles west on I-70), or New Mexico for Taos (about 270 miles south). Travel to Canada may be allowed with host approval and insurance confirmation, so message the host before booking if that's on your itinerary. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage does not extend across that border. Pro tip: a popular multi-state loop from Georgetown hits Moab, Bryce, and Zion, returning via I-70.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage and gas budget should I plan for?
Plan smart and your Georgetown RV trip stays well within budget. Class C motorhomes average 8 to 12 miles per gallon, Class A rigs run 6 to 10 mpg, and Class B campervans can hit 18 to 22 mpg on Colorado highways. Gas in Clear Creek County typically runs slightly above the Denver metro average, so fuel up in Idaho Springs (about 15 minutes east on I-70) before climbing higher. For a 4-day loop covering 400 miles in a Class C, budget roughly $150 to $200 in fuel at current Colorado prices. Pro tip: I-70's steep grades hammer mileage, so descend in a lower gear to save your brakes and your wallet.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book campgrounds near Georgetown?
Book early and you'll get the prime spots. Most Forest Service campgrounds near Georgetown, including Guanella Pass and West Chicago Creek, accept reservations through Recreation.gov up to six months in advance, and summer weekends from late June through Labor Day are typically full within days of the booking window opening. Private RV parks like Cottonwood RV Park in nearby Idaho Springs are easier on short notice but still fill up for July 4th and Labor Day. Pro tip: set a six-month-out calendar reminder at 8 a.m. Mountain Time on the day you want to book Guanella Pass, because the 18 sites are some of the most coveted in the Front Range.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232306What are driving conditions like around Georgetown?
Driving conditions around Georgetown are mostly straightforward on I-70, which is paved, well-maintained, and lined with pullouts, but there are a few high-country quirks worth knowing. Expect steep grades (up to 7 percent near the Eisenhower Tunnel), strong crosswinds at Loveland Pass, and afternoon thunderstorms in July and August that can drop visibility quickly. Colorado's Traction Law typically runs September 1 through May 31, requiring all-season or snow tires on I-70 west of Denver, and most RVezy rigs are already compliant. Pro tip: check cotrip.org before driving each morning, and avoid Guanella Pass in anything longer than 25 feet since the Forest Service warns large RVs off the byway.
codot.gov/travel/winter-driving/tractionlawWhat amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Georgetown?
Campground amenities near Georgetown range from rustic to fully-equipped. Forest Service campgrounds like Guanella Pass and Clear Lake offer vault toilets, potable water (seasonal), fire rings, picnic tables, and bear-aware food storage, but no electric, water, or sewer hookups. For full hookups including 30/50-amp electric and sewer, head to Cottonwood RV Park or a similar private park in Idaho Springs, about 15 minutes east. Pro tip: fill your fresh water tank in town before heading up to Guanella Pass, and bring an extra propane tank since high-elevation nights can dip into the 30s even in July.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232306What's included inside the RV I rent in Georgetown?
Your motorhome rental in Georgetown typically comes ready for adventure straight out of the host's driveway. Most RVezy rigs include a queen or king bed, a galley kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave and sink, a wet bath with toilet and shower, dinette seating that converts to a bed, climate control (furnace plus roof AC), and seatbelts for every traveling passenger. Many also feature a generator, solar setup, outdoor speakers, a TV, and Wi-Fi boosters that come in handy when you're parked near Georgetown Lake. Pro tip: filter by sleeps count and amenities on RVezy, and check listing photos for specifics like an outdoor kitchen or awning, which turn a family RV trip in Georgetown into a backyard-style basecamp.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Georgetown%2C%20ColoradoWhat add-ons and pickup options are available for my Georgetown RV rental?
Hosts in Georgetown make customizing easy. Popular add-ons include camp chairs and tables, bedding and linen packages, bikes and roof boxes, generators, propane refills, and pet kits, each priced individually by the host. Pickup is typically at the host's home in or around Georgetown, Idaho Springs, or Evergreen, with delivery available to local campgrounds for a per-mile fee. Mileage policies vary by listing, with daily allowances commonly between 100 and 150 miles plus optional unlimited mileage packages, often a great deal for a longer Georgetown RV trip. Pro tip: message the host before booking to bundle add-ons with delivery, which usually saves more than booking each separately.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Georgetown%2C%20ColoradoHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is simple and fully handled through RVezy, so you'll never hand cash or a check to a host. You pay your booking total securely on the platform with a credit card, and a refundable security deposit is pre-authorized (not charged) on your card before pickup. Deposit amounts vary based on the rig and the protection plan you choose at checkout. Once you return the RV in the agreed condition, the hold is released, usually within a few business days. Pro tip: complete the walkthrough photo checklist at pickup and dropoff; this single habit prevents almost every deposit dispute and keeps your rent an RV in Georgetown experience smooth from start to finish.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Georgetown during winter?
Yes, winter RV rental in Georgetown is absolutely an option and can be magical, with snow-dusted Victorian buildings and easy access to Loveland Ski Area just up I-70. Filter for four-season rigs that include heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, and shore power capability, all essentials when overnight lows drop to single digits in January and February. Many hosts also include snow chains and offer delivery directly to a winterized RV park so you can skip mountain driving entirely. Pro tip: ask your host about a heated water hose and an extra propane tank; with the Georgetown area seeing heavy annual snowfall, you'll burn through propane faster than you'd expect.
