Mountain roads and gold rush history deliver RV adventures in Golden.
At the foot of the Rocky Mountains, Golden is a solid starting point to explore the region’s mountains, geology, and culture by campervan. A half-hour drive to Denver makes it easy to access big city amenities, while nearby Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests put nature at the doorstep. Thirty minutes northwest of downtown is Golden Gate Canyon State Park, where RV campers can hike, bike, and horseback ride on peaceful mountain trails. You can also discover Golden’s alpine landscape with a hike up the flat-topped North Table Mountain, home to spring and summer wildflowers blooms. Find RV parks in Golden that offer full hookups, restrooms, and dump stations, or check out private shaded campsites and hidden gems on working ranches in the area for a unique experience. Snow can begin as early as September in the mountains, so June to September is the most popular time for RV camping in Golden, home to Buffalo Bill’s grave and the Colorado Railroad Museum.
