Ault sits just off US Highway 85, providing straightforward access for RVers traveling north from Denver or south from Wyoming. The drive from Denver takes about 90 minutes through relatively flat terrain, making it manageable for large rigs and motorhomes. Interstate 25 connects to Highway 85 via several routes, with the most direct being Highway 14 west from I-25 at Fort Collins.
The rural roads around Ault are generally RV-friendly, though some county roads can be narrow with soft shoulders. Stick to main highways when possible, especially during wet weather when dirt roads become problematic. US 85 through town handles big rigs without issues, and most local businesses have adequate parking for larger RVs.
Fuel up in Fort Collins or Greeley before heading to Ault, as local options are limited. The Sinclair station in town can accommodate most RVs, but larger diesel pushers might find maneuvering tight. Stock up on groceries and supplies in Fort Collins or Greeley as well – Ault's small market covers basics but won't have everything you need for extended stays.
From Wyoming, the drive south on US 85 offers scenic views of the Front Range foothills. Watch for strong crosswinds, especially during spring months when weather patterns can create challenging driving conditions for high-profile vehicles.
