Louisville RV Dump Station
Louisville Number 1 Dam, 798 CO-42, Louisville, CO 80027
(303) 335-4500A small RV dump station tucked next to Louisville Number 1 Dam on CO-42, handy for locals and travelers who need to empty holding tanks before hitting the mountains. Short, practical spot mostly used by RVers from Louisville and nearby Front Range towns. Not a big facility-think one or two rigs at a time rather than a spacious transfer station.
Pull off CO-42 into a compact lot with room for RVs to pull up to a concrete pad and the sewer inlet; lines form when a couple rigs are ahead. The site sits close to the dam, so breezy days can make things a bit fiddly when handling hoses or lids. Expect a simple, no-frills setup rather than a full service center. Some dump stations charge a fee, so plan for the possibility rather than assuming it’s free.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a good-length sewer hose and gloves - tight parking and short valves show up more often than expected.
- Aim for weekdays or late afternoons to avoid weekend backups, especially during spring cleanup season.
- Leave room for others to maneuver: use the pull-through if available or park so the next rig can back in without juggling too much.
