Flying into Denver?

Denver International Airport (DEN) is conveniently located on the northeast corner of Denver and an easy limo or car drive from the Highlands Ranch area.  Also convenient is the airport in Colorado Springs which is only 1.5 hours away on Interstate 25.

Getting to the Hotel from the Airport

You can take a bus from Island #5 DIA East to Arapahoe at Village Center Station (about 54 minutes) which is a stop on the light rail.  From there take the Light Rail F Line to Lincoln (end of the line).  The Lincoln station is about a block from the hotel.

Official Host Hotel

The official host hotel for 2010 is the Denver Marriott South at Park Meadows, 10345 Park Meadows Drive, Littleton, CO 80124, just a short distance from the field.  The rate is $79 per night for up to four people with either standard king or double/double. The reservation cutoff date is on or before Friday, July 30, 2010.  That gives you plenty of time but, remember, there are only so many rooms and this MWC is sure to be well attended.  To make reservations, call Marriott Reservations at 1-800-686-2767.  YOU MUST MENTION the Colorado Scottish Festival & Rocky Mountain Highland Games to get the discounted rate.

RV Parks in the Area

Check out the Denver Area RV Parks by clicking HERE.  The following RV parks are ones where Linda and I have stayed.  The Yogi Bear site is the closest to the festival.

Denver East KOA is a nice RV park located at exit 310 on I-70.  It is an easy drive probably 30 minutes from Highlands Ranch via I-70 and I-470.  It has shaded pull-throughs.
Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp - Resort at Castle Rock is located 25 minutes south of the Highlands Ranch festival site on I-25.  Camp sites are secluded pull-throughs among gamble oaks.  
Dekota Ridge RV park is on the northwest side of Denver on West Colfax with Highlands Ranch accessed via I-470.  

We are not familiar with the following park:

Denver Meadows RV Park is located just off I-225 south of I-70.  It does have a pool.  No website, see the Denver Area link above.

Because of the Rocky Mountains, Colorado has a multitude of RV parks located throughout the state.  If you are coming in an RV, you should plan to visit other areas of the state while you are here.  Top areas are Rocky Mountain National Park (RV parks at both the east and west entrances), Manitou Springs just west of Colorado Springs, Steamboat Springs, Summit County, and many others.
