RV Rental for Aurora Arts Festival in Aurora, CO
Every September when the Aurora Arts Festival sets up around the Aurora Municipal Center off Alameda Parkway, I get the same question: “Where do we actually stay?” The festival itself is day-use — there’s no overnight camping on the Municipal Center grounds, and the lots there fill up fast on a Saturday morning. So a smart RV rental for the Aurora Arts Festival isn’t about parking a motorhome at the event; it’s about giving your group a comfortable home base a short drive away and using the rig to come and go without fighting for a spot. That’s what I set up for folks every fall, and I’ll walk you through how it works.
Why an RV Beats a Hotel for the Aurora Arts Festival
The festival pulls a big crowd to central Aurora the same weekend a lot of other Front Range events are running, and the hotels along I-225 and East Colfax get tight. With a camper you’ve got your own kitchen, your own bathroom, and a quiet place to put the kids or the dogs down between the art booths, music, and food vendors. September in Aurora is honestly the best month of the year out here — warm, dry days in the 70s and crisp nights that can dip into the 40s, so you’ll want the furnace some evenings even when the afternoons feel like summer. An RV handles that swing a lot better than a tent does.
Whether you’re a family coming in from out of state, a vendor working the festival, or a group wanting one base camp instead of three hotel rooms, an Aurora festival motorhome keeps everyone together and saves money over a holiday-weekend hotel block. Take a look at our fleet and how we work to get a feel for what fits your group.
Where to Park Your RV Near the Aurora Arts Festival
There’s no overnight RV parking at the Aurora Municipal Center, so the move is to camp at a nearby park and drive in. The closest real option I send festival renters to is Cherry Creek State Park, just southwest of the Municipal Center off I-225 and Parker Road — you’re looking at roughly a 15-minute drive to the festival grounds depending on traffic. The campground there has paved pull-throughs and electric hookups, and the back loops can get tight on the turns, so when I deliver I match you to a site and an RV size that won’t have you backing into a tree.
If Cherry Creek is booked — and in September it books up well ahead of the festival weekend — I’ll point you toward Chatfield State Park to the southwest or Bear Creek Lake Park near Lakewood, both an easy reach via E-470 or US-285. For the full rundown of sites, hookups, and which loops fit bigger rigs, see our guide to local campgrounds and RV parks.
- Cherry Creek State Park — closest to the Municipal Center, ~15 min via I-225; reserve early for September weekends
- Bear Creek Lake Park — Lakewood, quieter and good for families, reachable via US-285
- Chatfield State Park — larger campground southwest of town off E-470, a solid backup when Cherry Creek fills
- Castlewood Canyon area — farther out toward Franktown if you want to pair the festival with a hiking weekend
We Deliver and Set Up — You Just Show Up
You don’t need to know how to tow or level anything. I bring the RV to your campsite, get it parked and leveled, hook up the water, power, and sewer where the site allows, and walk you through everything before I leave. After the festival weekend, I come back and haul it out. That’s the whole point — you spend your time at the art booths and the music, not wrestling with a trailer hitch in a Cherry Creek parking loop.
We deliver across the Denver metro — Aurora, Denver, Centennial, Parker, Englewood, Littleton, Commerce City and out toward Brighton — and we can also set up for guests flying into Denver International Airport (DEN). Learn how it works on our RV delivery page. Exact inclusions like linens, generators, and kitchen gear vary by unit, so reach out and I’ll tell you exactly what comes with the rig you’re looking at.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I park an RV at the Aurora Municipal Center during the festival?
No — the Aurora Arts Festival at the Municipal Center is a day-use event with no overnight RV camping on-site. The plan I set up for renters is to camp at a nearby park like Cherry Creek State Park and drive in, which is about 15 minutes via I-225.
How far in advance should I book an RV rental for the Aurora Arts Festival?
The sooner the better. September is peak camping season on the Front Range, and the closest campgrounds — especially Cherry Creek State Park — fill up weeks ahead of the festival weekend. Reach out as early as you can and I’ll lock in both the RV and a campsite.
What’s the weather like for the festival, and will I need heat?
September in Aurora is usually dry and pleasant — daytime highs often in the 70s with cool nights that can drop into the 40s. You’ll be glad to have the RV’s furnace in the evenings, and the climate control makes the whole weekend more comfortable than tent camping at this elevation.
Do you deliver the RV, or do I have to tow it myself?
We deliver, set up, and remove it for you. I handle parking, leveling, and hookups at your campsite anywhere across the Denver metro, including pickups for guests flying into DEN. You never have to tow or back anything in.
What’s included with the RV rental?
Inclusions like linens, kitchen equipment, and generators vary by unit, so contact me directly at 720-526-4848 and I’ll tell you exactly what comes with the camper or motorhome you’re considering for your festival weekend.
