Why Choose RV Storage in Rifle, CORifle, CO


At Right Move Storage, we make it simple to get your boat off the driveway and out of the side yard without hauling it across the county. Our Airport Road lot sits just off Interstate 70 at exit 90, about ten miles from the ramps at Rifle Gap Reservoir, with gated gravel spaces sized for boat-and-trailer setups up to 46 feet and a covered 12×50 space for owners who want a roof over the hull. Month-to-month terms mean you can park through the off-season or hold the space year-round.


  • Room for the Whole Setup: Spaces are sized for the boat and trailer together, with width for a wider beam and length for the tongue and any outboard overhang.
  • Covered Parking Available: Our 12×50 covered space keeps a hull out of direct high-altitude sun, which fades gelcoat and breaks down upholstery and canvas faster at 5,300 feet than it does at lower elevations.
  • Gated, Fenced, and Lit: An automatic gate with coded entry, perimeter fencing, and well-lit grounds keep the lot secure and easy to navigate at the end of a long day on the water.
  • Easy Trailer Maneuvering: Wide drive lanes and a level gravel surface give you room to back a trailer and line it up without a tight squeeze.
  • On the Way Out of Town: Exit 90 puts the lot a minute from I-70 and an easy run north toward Rifle Gap, so hitching up doesn't cost you a detour.
  • Off-Season Friendly: Park the boat once the water turns cold and pick it back up in spring, without paying for storage you're not using.
  • Quick Online Rentals: Reserve your space online, pay from your phone, and set up autopay in a few minutes.

RV Parking Options in Rifle, CO

Not every rig needs the same kind of space. Right Move Storage on Airport Road offers two ways to park in Rifle, and the right one comes down to how long you're storing and how much protection your RV needs.

Open Parking

Our open spaces are uncovered and sit on a level gravel surface inside the gated, fenced lot. They run from compact sizes suited to small fishing boats and jet ski trailers up to 46 feet for larger cruisers and pontoons on tandem-axle trailers. Wide drive lanes give you room to back in cleanly. Open parking is the practical choice through the boating season, when you're pulling the boat out often and a good cover does the work.

Covered Parking

Our covered option is a 12×50 space, newly added at the Rifle facility, with room for a long boat and trailer together. A roof means no direct sun beating down on gelcoat, seats, and canvas through the summer, and no snow load sitting on the cover through the winter. If you're storing a boat you've put real money into, or parking for a full off-season, this is the space to ask about.

Trailers, Pontoons, and Personal Watercraft

Bass boats, ski boats, pontoons, and jet ski trailers all park in the same open spaces, sized by overall length. Measure the trailer from the tip of the tongue to the back of the outboard or swim platform, and choose a space with a little room to spare so hitching and unhitching stays easy.

Who Uses RV Parking in Rifle, CO


Boat parking at Right Move Storage on Airport Road serves a wide mix of Rifle owners, including:


  • Homeowners whose driveway, garage, or side yard can't take a boat and trailer
  • Residents in neighborhoods or HOAs that restrict parking a boat on the street

  • Owners parking through the Western Slope off-season once the water turns cold
  • Anglers keeping a fishing boat close to home between early-morning trips

You'll find us on Airport Road just off Interstate 70 at exit 90, next door to the Walmart Supercenter and a minute from Rifle Garfield County Airport. We're a short drive from downtown Rifle and Railroad Avenue, close to Grand River Health and the Colorado Mountain College campus, and about ten miles south of the ramps at Rifle Gap Reservoir. Whether you're heading out for a morning on the water or parking the boat until spring, getting to your space doesn't take a detour.

Boat Space Sizes in Rifle, CO

All open parking at Right Move Storage in Rifle is uncovered gravel, sized by the overall length of the boat and trailer together, with a covered 12×50 space available as well. Measure from the tip of the tongue to the back of the outboard or swim platform before you book, and give yourself a little room to spare. Common sizes include:

Small Spaces (around 8×16 to 8×20)

A fit for jon boats, small fishing boats, jet ski trailers, and single-axle setups that need a secure spot off the driveway.

Medium Spaces (around 11×21 to 12×30)

Room for bass boats, ski boats, smaller pontoons, and tandem-axle trailers, with width to walk around the hull and reach the cover.

Large Spaces (around 11×32 up to 11×46)

Sized for larger pontoons, cruisers, deck boats, and boat-and-trailer setups that need real length for the tongue and outboard, running up to 46 feet for the biggest rigs.

How to Prep Your Boat for Storage in Rifle, CO

Winterizing properly matters at 5,300 feet, where a hard freeze can crack an engine block.

  • Flush the engine with fresh water, then drain it completely so nothing is left to freeze
  • Change the oil and filter, and add antifreeze to the cooling system
  • Fill the fuel tank and add stabilizer to limit condensation over the winter
  • Clean and fully dry the hull, deck, and interior, and pull the drain plug
  • Remove electronics, cushions, life jackets, and anything of value
  • Disconnect or remove the battery, or keep it on a maintainer
  • Fit a breathable, well-secured cover so moisture can escape instead of collecting
  • Check that the cover sheds snow rather than letting it pool and pull
  • Grease the trailer bearings and check the tires and pressure
  • Chock the trailer wheels once parked and support the tongue jack on a pad
  • Lower the outboard so water drains out of the lower unit
  • Confirm your insurance covers the boat while it is in storage
