Denver Climate


Contrary to popular belief, Denver actually has a sunny climate and gets an average of 300 days of sunshine per year. However, due to its geographical location, the weather patterns are prone to quick changes. Despite this, the summers are warm and pleasant, with low humidity. Winters are sometimes very chilly, although this is usually regulated by chinook winds. Prepare for your self-drive holiday with our US Camping Checklist.

So When Is The Best Time To Visit?


Although summer and fall are popular tourist periods, there is almost never a shortage on visitors all year. Don't forget to make early reservations on your accommodations and motorhome for your trip. MyDriveHoliday has the best Campgrounds In Denver as well as great RVs For Hire

Summer


Summers in Denver are warm and sunny, making it the perfect season for outdoor activities. June gets some rainfall, while July and August are the peak tourist months. Make sure to pre-book your flights and accommodations, and don't leave home without your sunscreen.

Autumn


You can still catch some sunny days in September, while the temperature begins to drop in October. It gets rather chilly in November, so bring a winter jacket and several warm clothes for your trip. There are not many visitors during fall, which means you can take advantage of cheaper rates on accommodations and motorhomes.

Winter


Although it is considered “off-season”, Denver gets many ski loving visitors in Winter. Holidaying tourists can enjoy the snow in December, while January is the coldest month of the year. February is not that different, so pack a winter jacket and plenty of warm clothing.  

Spring


Don't be surprised if it continues to snow until April; March happens to be the snowiest month in Denver. The snow begins to melt in May, but we would still recommend taking a winter jacket and your warmest clothing for your Spring trip.
