A Green Valley Ranch Camper's Calendar — And Where Storage Fits In

Colorado's camping season is longer than most people from other states expect. Snow can fall in September and again in May, but the window between those bookends offers some of the best outdoor access in the country. For Green Valley Ranch residents, that window is particularly easy to take advantage of — E-470 puts the entire Front Range and eastern plains within quick reach.

Spring, roughly April through early June, is when most GVR campers get their rigs out of storage and start running through the pre-season checklist. The mountains are still wet but lower elevations are opening up. Chatfield State Park and Cherry Creek are popular first trips. This is also when fresh water hookups and tire pressure checks become part of the routine again after a few months of the vehicle sitting still.

Summer sees the most active use — Rocky Mountain National Park, summit camping, longer trips west on I-70. The RV is in and out of storage frequently, and 24-hour facility access becomes important for families planning around school schedules and work calendars.

Fall is arguably Colorado's best camping season and Green Valley Ranch residents who've figured out their storage situation get to take full advantage of it. Cooler temps, fewer crowds, and the kind of visibility that makes the mountains look like they were painted. October trips are common among regular campers in this part of Aurora.

Winter brings the rig back to storage for most, though some customers keep theirs ready for ski season trips and heated campground stays. The dump station and fresh water at the facility are particularly useful heading into winter — draining tanks and winterizing before a long storage stretch is much easier when the infrastructure is right there.

Front Range RV Storage in Bennett handles all of this for Green Valley Ranch residents year-round. It's a short E-470 south to I-70 east run that fits naturally into every part of the camping calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have both a camper and a fishing boat. Can everything go in the same place?

Yes, and this is actually a common setup for GVR customers heading to Chatfield or Cherry Creek Reservoir. Both vehicles can be stored at the same facility under one account. You can grab what you need for a specific trip and leave the rest. Having both in one location means one less thing to coordinate, which matters when you're already managing the rest of what goes into a Colorado camping or fishing trip.

Colorado hailstorms make me nervous about outdoor storage. What's the realistic risk?

It's a fair concern for any outdoor storage along the Front Range. The facility is outdoor, so complete hail protection isn't guaranteed — that's worth knowing upfront. What helps is making sure your RV insurance covers weather events while in storage, which many policies do. A quality fitted cover also reduces cosmetic damage significantly. The facility monitors conditions and communicates with customers after significant weather events.
