RV camping near Lyons

·

Set in the foothills, Lyons is conveniently located between Boulder and Estes Park, providing a home base for adventures in Rocky Mountain National Park—and beyond. Toss a line or a raft into the North St. Vrain Creek, which flows through Lyons, or hit one of the many hiking and biking trails that cris-cross the region. RVers will find several county park campgrounds in the area, offering dry camping and full hookups, mostly on the shores of scenic reservoirs. Venture west into the Roosevelt National Forest to find off-grid, designated RV campgrounds and dispersed camping amid the plentiful pines and mountain peaks. Full-service RV parks can also be found near Lyons, primarily north of town near Estes Park and Loveland, offering amenities like big rig sites, free wifi, and full hookups. Summer is the peak season for camping, while winter brings in weather conditions better suited for skiing than camping, but RV campers can keep cozy with heating.

Nestled in the back of our property, accessible via a horseshoe-shaped driveway, this dedicated camping spot awaits you. Please note that a 4WD/high clearance vehicle is essential for winter access, and rigs over 25' will not fit. We have a nice long pull-in with full hookups on our one-acre property. It is fully fenced and we are happy to accept pets. We are in a rural neighborhood setting and my husband and I do live on the property in the small green house you can see in the photos. There are houses around; it's not a secluded wilderness spot. We've been RVing for seven years (two of them full-time) and hiking and camping for many more. We're happy to provide local recommendations or to help you out with your rig if you're new. Our home is conveniently located approximately 35 minutes from Boulder or Nederland, 45 minutes from Eldora for skiing enthusiasts, 25 minutes from the Longs Peak Trailhead, and 45 minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park. We have hiking trails directly from the backyard.

We provide the platform for your tent as well as access to all of our lodge's amenities; front desk, lobby, bar & beer garden, fire pits, grills, bathrooms, shower, outdoor common areas, free wifi, etc. A-Lodge has a 7-day non-refundable cancellation policy.

Check out what a fellow camper had to say: "First time Hipcamper and A-Lodge visitor here, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re traveling to the Boulder area. The tent platforms were easy to get to and spaced far enough apart for privacy and generally a nice break from setting up a tent on a gravel pad. WiFi was stable throughout my visit and I was able to get some work done before heading home."

We are RVers and would far rather stay on private land than an impacted RV park; we thought others might as well so we decided to share our property. Learn more about this land: Private, semi rural property of 1 plus acre to house your RV while traveling or availing local activities; there is a home on the property. Close to Boulder CO and other towns, easy access and quiet place to stay that is not an RV park.  RV must be self contained with a toilet. We do NOT provide one. Generators may not be used, however we can supply 30 amp for a small fee during hot summer months.  We ask that the AC is off when the RV is unoccupied. Water as needed but there is NO sewer for dumping. This is a short term space for seeing the area and visiting people that you know. The camp spot is on 1 acre behind the house. You can enter and exit going forward. Tow car allowed but one vehicle per unit.
