Tips For Van Camping In Rocky Mountain National Park Read More »

Rocky Mountain National Park is a stunning national park in the heart of the Rocky Mountains that offers a plethora of outdoor activities and breathtaking views. One of the best ways to experience the park is through van camping, where you can enjoy the beauty of the park while staying on a budget. Here’s a guide to van camping in Rocky Mountain National Park for under $20.

Plan Ahead

Before you hit the road, it’s important to plan ahead. You’ll want to make sure you have all the necessary camping gear, including a tent, sleeping bags, and a portable stove. You’ll also need to purchase a camping permit, which can be done online or in person at the park’s visitor center.

Choose Your Campsite

Van Camping In Rocky Mountain

Rocky Mountain National Park has several designated campsites for van camping, including Moraine Park Campground, Glacier Basin Campground, and Timber Creek Campground. These campsites offer basic amenities such as restrooms, fire pits, and picnic tables, and some even have electric hookups for an additional fee.

Take Advantage Of Free Camping Options

If you’re on a tight budget, there are also free camping options available in Rocky Mountain National Park. Dispersed camping is allowed in designated areas throughout the park, but be sure to check the park’s regulations and guidelines before setting up camp.

Explore The Park

Once you’ve settled in at your campsite, it’s time to explore the park! Rocky Mountain National Park offers a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, fishing, and wildlife watching. Be sure to take advantage of the park’s free shuttle system, which provides access to popular hiking trails and scenic overlooks.

Practice Leave No Trace principles

As with any camping trip, it’s important to practice Leave No Trace principles to minimize your impact on the environment. This includes packing out all of your trash, using designated campsites, and respecting wildlife and natural resources.

In conclusion, van camping in Rocky Mountain National Park can be an affordable and rewarding way to experience the beauty of the park. With a little planning and preparation, you can enjoy all that the park has to offer without breaking the bank.

There are many ways to store your bike on your van. Many of these are third-party products. Vandoit offers several accessories we believe are helpful and make traveling with your bike seamless.

Bike Fork Mounts

Bike Storage Tips

The easiest option is the Bike Fork Mount. Traditionally, it is attached directly to the gear slide. It can also be mounted on the roof, floor, or vertically on most extrusion sections. It allows for ease when installing by simply removing your front tire, then attaching the mount to the front fork of your bike. We offer four different size options of the Bike Fork Mount: 12mm x 100m, 15mm x 100m, 15mm x 110m, and 15mm x 150m, as well as a 9mm skewer.

These folks are truly passionate about building out quality and functional camper vans that can also be daily drivers. They have thought about and rethought about just about every feature. I am so impressed with my van and all the fun design elements. I’m also excited about all the possibilities for tweaking how we use it. I love the underlying Ford Transit...it drives and feels solid. The tour upon pick up was detailed and fun. Thanks for the whole experience!”

"I have looked for a camper van to replace my old syncro Westy for quite a few years. I came close to pulling the trigger many times, but nothing felt quite right. Then I discovered Vandoit by accident on a google search.From that first call with Ted to the last handshakes with Brian, Ian, and Jared the process has been easy and a pleasure and the van is perfect. I got a Quigley 4x4 and the custom Vandoit options that fit our lifestyle. I am very happy with my purchase and look forward to years of backroad camping under the stars.”
William Snider
Everyone was extremely helpful during each step of the process. My biggest problem was that I have trouble visualizing designs and colors from a phone or computer screen. Even with that the final product came out great. People keep coming up to me when I get gas or park anywhere to tell me how cool the van is. They provide a lot of material to answer questions as well as respond quickly if I have other questions not in the included material.
Mitch Alberts
Almost 2 years since purchase of our van. It has brought my wife, daughter, and I on so many adventures that we never would have gone on! Whenever I call, email, or even stop by Vandoit HQ they make my family feel like we are part of the family.Thank you for being such great, hardworking human beings VDI! You create so many smiles daily!
Rob Nitz
There’s nothing quite like pulling up to a remote, hard-to-reach campsite and enjoying everything a Vandoit build has to offer. Not only has our van taken us on unforgettable adventures across the US and Mexico, it’s a vital part of our business. We’ve driven over 75K hard miles with our 350HD Dually and it keeps on surprising us with its capabilities on and off-road. The VDI team is innovative, passionate, and authentic. They’ve been nothing short of extraordinary since we bought our van over 2 years ago.

The last thing they want is a disgruntled owner. I can't think of anyone who has taken possession of their van and been disappointed. Occasionally you may have the person who flakes out during the build process and decides to try and bad-mouth the company, but from my understanding they usually do what they can to remedy the situation. They are an amazing group of people and as an owner who has attended the last 5 or 6 owners xperience gatherings., I consider the employees and other owners as family. I think this is why you see mostly 4 and 5 star reviews. The 1 star reviews are usually those who never got to experience the joy and think they have a leg to stand on.
- Kurt Schuler
We brought our van into the shop for some maintenance and new parts today. The staff was awesome and even offered a tour of the facility. We also found some deals on some used Dometic fridges that were here. Great waiting area with snacks etc and comfy couches. Over all great service and experience here.
