Travel TrailerRentals in Denver
The workhorse of Colorado camping. Hook a travel trailer to the truck you already own, drop it at the lake for a week, and keep your tow rig free for town runs and trailheads.
Who Rents a Travel Trailer
Families who want separate beds without motorhome money. Anglers who park it at Chatfield for a week straight. First timers who'd rather learn on something that unhitches. If you own a half ton pickup or a properly equipped SUV, this is the cheapest way into a hard sided camp with a real fridge and a furnace.
The unhitch part matters more than people expect. Your campsite keeps the trailer. You keep the vehicle. Groceries in Frisco, a trailhead up a dirt road, dinner in town, none of it means breaking camp.
Towing One in Colorado, Honestly
Check three numbers before you book: the trailer's loaded weight on the listing, your vehicle's tow rating, and your altitude margin. Gas engines breathe thin air up here. The old rule of thumb docks a naturally aspirated engine roughly three percent of its power for every thousand feet, and the Eisenhower Tunnel sits above 11,100 feet. A truck rated to tow 8,000 pounds at sea level does not feel like it on the Georgetown grade.
Field note
Leave a thousand pounds of headroom between the trailer's loaded weight and your tow rating. You'll climb slower than the rating promises and brake harder than the flatlands ever asked you to.
Every tow listing spells out its hitch setup and brake controller requirement, and the right equipment comes with the trailer. Never towed? Say so. Our crew will walk you through hitching until you can do it blind, or skip the lesson entirely and have us deliver it to your site.
What It Costs Around Denver
On the Denver market, smaller single axle trailers usually run less per night than a hotel room downtown, and even large bunkhouse floor plans undercut motorhomes by a wide margin. Expect nightly rates to climb with length, slide count and season. July weekends book first and cost most. Add delivery and the fee scales with distance, which is why close-in parks like Cherry Creek and Bear Creek Lake are the cheap runs.
Before You Book, Check This
- Loaded trailer weight against your tow rating, minus altitude headroom
- Hitch type and ball size, both supplied with the rig
- Brake controller, required for nearly every trailer this size
- Delivery radius and fee if you'd rather not tow at all
- Furnace condition if you're camping above 8,000 feet, even in summer
White Glove, If You Want It
Every rig on this page can arrive as a finished camp. Choose delivery at checkout and our crew tows it to your reserved site, levels it, connects power and water, and hands you the keys. Add a camp food package, rental bikes or a fire kit and the site is stocked before you pull in. Prefer the classic pickup and walkthrough? That works too. Two ways to start the same good weekend.

Quick Answers
Asked constantly, answered once, kept current.
Can my SUV tow a travel trailer?
Some can. A properly equipped midsize SUV handles many single axle trailers under about 4,500 pounds loaded, but you need the tow package, a brake controller and honest math on altitude. Compare the listing's loaded weight to your door jamb sticker, then leave margin. When in doubt, book delivery and skip the question entirely.
Do rentals come with the hitch and sway control?
Yes. The weight distribution hitch, sway bars and the correct ball come with the trailer, already dialed to that rig. Confirm your vehicle's receiver and wiring in a message before you book.
What if I have never towed anything?
Tell us. The walkthrough gets longer, you practice hitching once or twice at handoff, and you leave knowing how to back it up a campsite pad. Or book delivery and we place it on your site, level and hooked up, before you arrive.
