Our proximity to stunningly beautiful, but at times staggeringly cold mountain campsites has contributed to a flourishing RV culture. According to Whitney Holtz, President of local Windish RV, “Interest in RVing has increased exponentially over the last few years. We’ve seen more and more people choose RVing as a safe, socially distant family vacation.”
If you are eager to get your RV, trailer or tent out of storage and can’t wait for the warmer months, here are low elevation camping options in our amazing state.
Pawnee National Grassland, 32 miles northeast of Greeley. Elevation 4,800. Bird watching, trails and star gazing. recreation.gov
Cherry Creek State Park. Elevation 5,500. Boating, swimming, and bike trails that connect to the visitors center and beach area. cpwshop.com
Lake Pueblo, 10 miles west of Pueblo. Elevation 4,900. With 60 miles of shoreline and 10,000 acres of land, recreation options are plentiful. www.cpw.state.co.us
It’s important to note that while winter camping in Colorado is available, most of the campground services close for winter. So enjoy. Stay warm. Or enjoy being cold. It’s truly about the experience of being out there.
