Boat and RV Storage near Colorado Springs: Ute Pass Guide

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 14:34:03 GMT

Every spring it plays out the same way. The first warm weekend hits, the boat comes out of the side yard, and half the driveways in Colorado Springs remember the same problem at once: the HOA letter from last fall is still on the fridge, and the trailer cannot stay where it is. If that is how your search for boat storage near Colorado Springs started, you are in good company, and the fix is closer than you think.

Our Highway 24 property sits at 11120 W Hwy 24 in Green Mountain Falls, about 20 minutes up Ute Pass from the west side of town. It has open-air parking for RVs, boats, trailers, and extra vehicles, plus enclosed bays for when you want four walls around them. Gated, month-to-month, and your gate code works around the clock.

Twenty minutes is the sweet spot

Here is the logic most owners land on after a season or two. Storage in town is tight and pricey, and your rig still has to climb the pass every time you use it. Storing in Green Mountain Falls means the boat or camper is already on the way to where it is going, whether that is a ramp up the corridor or a campsite toward the Rampart Range. Friday after work, you are hooking up in a wide gravel aisle instead of threading a trailer through neighborhood streets.

And when winter comes, you are not tripping over it until April.

Open-air space or an enclosed bay?

About half the vehicles here sit in open-air spaces, and it is the right call for most trailers, fifth wheels, pontoon boats, and motorhomes. It is the quickest to reserve and the easiest on the budget.

Some rigs earn a roof, though. The property has enclosed 10x20 and 10x25 vehicle bays with roll-up doors, and an 18x25 multi-door bay for the genuinely big stuff. If you have a boat you baby, a project car with fresh paint, or anything you would rather keep out of the sun and snow, that is the move.

Not sure what your rig needs? Call (719) 662-0404 with the length including the tongue and we will match you to a space in one conversation.

Storing through a mountain winter

Green Mountain Falls sits around 7,800 feet, so winter prep is not optional. The owners who roll out clean in spring all did the same handful of things in fall:

Boats: drain the engine block, ballast, and livewells, stabilize the fuel, and cover or shrink-wrap. If you hop between reservoirs, Colorado Parks and Wildlife keeps current rules on registration and aquatic nuisance species worth a read.
RVs: bypass the water heater, run RV antifreeze through the lines, pull or disconnect the battery, and cover the tires. Go RVing has good seasonal checklists if you want the full version.
Cars: full tank, stabilizer, battery tender, breathable cover.

Because your gate code works 24 hours a day, plenty of owners swing by in January to run an engine or check a cover. Nobody has to wait for an office to open.

How reserving works

Open the locations page , pick the Green Mountain Falls property, choose your space or bay, and finish the lease online. It takes about five minutes, it is month-to-month with no deposit, and the gate code arrives by text and email. You can park the same day, which is exactly what happens most Saturdays in April.

If you are also staring at a garage full of everything else, our Woodland Park storage units guide covers drive-up units at both of our properties. And the site tour page has video and photos if you want to see the yard before you commit.

Questions we hear a lot

Where can I store a boat near Colorado Springs?

Right here. Green Mountain Falls is 20 minutes from the west side of town, with open-air parking and enclosed bays. Call (719) 662-0404 for what is open.

Yes. Enclosed 10x20 and 10x25 bays, plus an 18x25 multi-door bay for larger rigs.

Your code works 24 hours a day, seven days a week. First-light launches are the whole point.

Is there a contract?

No. Month-to-month, no deposit, leave when you are ready.

Storage Units in Woodland Park, CO: A Local Guide

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 14:33:59 GMT

Ask around town long enough and you will hear the same story a few different ways. Someone closes on a house in Woodland Park and the garage is full before the moving truck leaves. A contractor outgrows the trailer. A family realizes the skis, the bikes, and the camping bins cannot all fit under one roof. That is usually when the search for storage units in Woodland Park, CO begins, and it is why we run two properties here instead of one.

Between them, Woodland Park Storage has 173 units and parking spaces, all drive-up, all behind coded gates, all with 24-hour access. This is the honest guide to how it works and which property is probably yours.

Two properties, two different jobs

The Highway 67 property sits at 915 CO-67, just north of downtown Woodland Park. If you live in town, this is the convenient one. It is all standard drive-up units in the sizes people ask for most, from a 6x10 for a room's worth of stuff up to a 10x20 for a household move. You can reach the team there at (719) 660-2419.

The Highway 24 property is at 11120 W Hwy 24 in Green Mountain Falls, about 20 minutes from the west side of Colorado Springs. It has drive-up units too, but its real specialty is vehicles: open-air parking for RVs, boats, and cars, plus enclosed bays when you want a roof over them. That line is (719) 662-0404.

A lot of renters end up using both over time. Household overflow goes to Highway 67. The boat winters at Highway 24.

What actually fits in each size

The question we hear most is some version of "will my stuff fit?" After enough move-ins, patterns emerge:

If you are stuck between two sizes, the size guide has real examples, or just call. Five minutes on the phone beats renting the wrong unit.

The part people do not expect: 24-hour access

Every renter gets a personal gate code by text and email, and it works at 2pm and 2am. That matters more than it sounds. Contractors load tools at five in the morning. Families finish a moving day at eleven at night. Nobody waits for an office to open, because there is no window where your stuff is locked away from you.

Both properties are fenced and gated, and every unit is drive-up. You back in, open the door, and you are loading. No hallway, no elevator, no cart with a wobbly wheel.

Renting takes about five minutes

The whole thing happens online. Open the locations page , pick your property and size, sign the lease, pay, and the gate code lands in your phone. Rentals are month-to-month with no deposit, so you are not signing away a year to store a couch for two months. Stay as long as you need, leave when you are done, and handle payments online the whole time.

Who actually stores here

Woodland Park keeps growing, and every recent Census estimate shows it. New arrivals rent units while they figure out which house has the garage they thought they were getting. Contractors keep materials close to the job instead of hauling up and down the pass. And half the town seems to have a season's worth of gear rotation: skis out, bikes in, then back again, most of it headed for the Pike National Forest sooner or later.

Then there are the vehicles. If that is you, read our companion piece on boat and RV storage up Ute Pass before you pick a spot.

Questions we hear a lot

How much does a storage unit cost in Woodland Park?

It depends on size and property, and rates change with availability, so we do not print numbers in articles. The locations page always shows live pricing and what is open right now.

Do you have climate controlled units?

No, and for most of what people store here, furniture, tools, equipment, and outdoor gear, a clean drive-up unit does the job. If you truly need climate control, tell us what you are storing and we will be straight with you about whether it makes sense.

How fast can I move in?

Same day, usually within the hour. The gate code comes by text and email the moment your lease is done.
