Colorado state law does not prohibit year-round RV living, but city and county ordinances, HOA rules, and federal land policies impose restrictions. RV parks offer yearlong rentals with utilities, while rural private property may allow it subject to local regulations. Denver, Broomfield, and Fort Collins ban long-term RV stays even on private land. State and national parks limit stays to two weeks per location.

Is it legal to live in an RV in Colorado?

Colorado state law permits year-round RV living, but local zoning ordinances impose stay limits. In Denver, private property stays are capped at 28 days per year, and street parking is limited to 72 hours. State parks allow 14 days per 28-day period, national parks allow 14 days per month with a 25-mile relocation requirement. Overnight stays at rest stops are technically prohibited, though police typically tolerate driver rest.
