The town of Simla lies in the High Plains region of Colorado less than an hour's drive to the northeast of Colorado Springs. It was originally built as a stop on the Rock Island Railway, which ran from Kansas to Denver. For most of its early history it was known for its agricultural products, however, it transitioned over to a manufacturing and service economy in the middle of the 20th century. Today it stands as a perfect example of quiet, small town living, even though it’s within commuting distance of the Denver metropolis.
When you book an RV in Simla, expect a relaxing experience away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Simla doesn’t have too many attractions of its own, but it is conveniently located near to Denver, Colorado Springs, the Rocky Mountains, and the vast High Plains region to the east. When you rent an RV here, you’ll never need to go far to reach a great attraction.
One of the best ways to get outside near Simla is to drive some backcountry roads. While much of the area to the east of town is farmland, you can still find a few great examples of prairie wilderness if you get off the beaten path. If you’re hoping to hit the links with your camper rental in Simla, head to the golf course just outside of Limon. There are also dozens of them near Colorado Springs and Denver if you’re willing to travel a little farther.
An unexpected treat just outside of town is the Paint Mines Interpretive Park, a relatively small open space filled with psychedelic-colored badlands. The park gets its name from the Native Americans that previously collected clay from it to construct their colorful pottery. Whether you love history or just beautiful landscapes, this is a fantastic place to visit when you get a travel trailer rental in Simla.
Another interesting formation lies west of Colorado Springs, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. This is one of the largest fossil beds in the world and there are several self-guided tours at the park that pass by the more noticeable fossil formations. Inside the visitor’s center, you can learn how the fossils are extracted, cleaned, and prepared for exhibition to the general public.
Colorado is an RV traveler’s paradise, so it’s no surprise there are some great places to camp when you get a motorhome rental in Simla. One of the closest places to stay is at the Cadillac Jack's RV Park and Campground. Sites are equipped with electrical and water hookups and there is a dump station on the edge of the park. It’s also close to some convenience stores in case you run low on any essential supplies. The Western Lodge Motel and RV Park is right in town and offers a few amenities.
Another option is the Limon KOA Journey, which has a selection of amenities. You’ll find plenty of sites, all with full hookups, a swimming pool, and a dog park for your four-legged companions. Limon is also quite a bit larger than Simla, so you should find a wider selection of dining and shopping options to choose from there. The Trailing Edge Park is also located in Limon and has full hookups, but is primarily utilized by long-term residents.
If you’re only staying for a night or two, it might be worth asking for the manager’s permission to camp at the Walmart in the town of Falcon, just outside Colorado Springs.
When you choose an RV rental in Simla, you’ll have a few cafés to choose from when you go out to eat. To find any sort of fine dining options you’ll probably need to drive to either Limon or Colorado Springs. As you get closer to Interstate 70 you’ll also find quite a few microbreweries too - Colorado has one of the highest breweries per capita, so you should never be far from one. Good shopping can be found all over Colorado Springs, from outlet malls to boutique shops selling handcrafted gifts.
If you have an animal lover in the family, be sure to check out the Limon Wetlands just a few miles away. The wonderfully paved paths through the wetland are a great place to do some bird watching and to enjoy seeing how the complex ecosystem functions.
For a historical tour of the area, make a trip to the Limon Heritage Center close by. The center covers some of the most interesting facets of Colorado’s pioneer days and has all sorts of artifacts from the period. While there are plenty of great museums in Denver that include similar material, sometimes it’s fun to check out a small museum without any of the crowds.
