Top tips for your Campervan trip to Denver

The best time to rent a campervan in Denver is between April and October. This is when the weather is nice and warm, and the roads through the mountains will have less snow. Visiting in the winter is possible, but some roads might be closed.

• 

  Driving
  One thing to note is that if you are driving high up in the mountains, there's a good chance it will affect the performance of your campervan due to the lack of air. Take your time on the steep climb and descents, and watch out for wildlife running across the road.
• 

  Family Friendly Activities
  Even though most of your trip will be spent outside of the city, there are some family-friendly activities worth visiting to keep the little ones entertained. Denver Zoo is one of the best, with over 4000 animals. The Downtown Aquarium is another option that is highly rated.
• 

  The Outdoors
  If we had to highlight a few, you must head to the Rockies National Park (just 90 minutes away). Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre are great places for photos because of their natural red sandstone formations. Theres also the Great Sand Dunes National Park is 4 hours away with fantastic towering dunes.
