Camper Van Rentals in Denver, CO

Searching for the perfect camper van rental in Denver? You’ve landed in the ultimate launchpad for Rocky Mountain adventures. A camper van lets you leave the city behind and wake up at 10,000 ft with coffee brewing and zero hotel check-out times.

Why Denver is the #1 Camper Van City in America

Denver sits at the edge of the Rockies with direct access to Rocky Mountain National Park (75 min), Boulder (40 min), Golden (25 min), and the I-70 mountain corridor. A camper van is the fastest, most flexible way to chase golden aspens in fall, wildflowers in summer, or fresh powder in winter — all while keeping your gear, kitchen, and bed with you.

Where to Pick Up Your Denver Camper Van

Denver has one of the strongest camper van rental markets in the country. You’ll find hundreds of privately owned, adventure-ready vans (Sprinters, Revels, Storytellers, Transits, and ProMasters) available for airport or city pickup.

Most vans are located within 15–45 minutes of DEN or downtown Denver. Many hosts offer free or low-cost delivery to Denver International Airport, Union Station, or your first campground. Just make sure to ask!

Pro tip: 4×4 vans with high clearance (Winnebago Revel, Storyteller Overland, Thor Sanctuary) book several months in advance for peak summer and fall color season (mid-Sept to mid-Oct).
