City of Creede, Colorado Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Creede sits at about 8,800 feet along Willow Creek, a tributary of the Rio Grande, in Mineral County. Silver found in 1889 grew the camp from about 600 people to over 10,000 by late 1891, and mines operated until 1985. Today Creede Repertory Theatre, which runs early May through mid-September, is the county's largest summer employer.
We rent mobile kitchen trailers, dishwashing trailers, and emergency refrigeration trailers as short-term rentals or long-term leases. Call any hour or request availability and a quote for your City of Creede site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in City of Creede
January lows near 3°F
Deep winter cold is the main planning item. Water lines, grease traps, and hand sinks can freeze overnight, so we plan heated, insulated connections and a propane or electric heat source, and we ask about heat tape and a covered hookup on site.
Cool summers, highs near 76°F
Summer highs near 76°F keep refrigeration loads light and kitchens comfortable. Wind, rain, and cool nights are the bigger planning items for an outdoor setup.
Delivery from Denver
About 165 miles in a straight line from our Denver warehouse. That is a regional delivery: we confirm the road route, any seasonal limits, and the timing when we quote.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in City of Creede
Theatre season
Creede Repertory Theatre runs from early May through mid-September with mainstage and children's shows and a touring production. Cast, crew, and visitors create a surge in food-service demand that restaurants and lodging can supplement with a mobile kitchen. Business owners should confirm placement with the town before ordering.
Fire season on the forest
The 2013 West Fork Complex began June 5 with lightning and grew to about 109,600 acres, closing US 160 and CO 149 near the fire. Wildfires bring responders and evacuees, who need kitchens, sanitation, and cooling at staging sites. Staging areas are set by incident commanders and the county.
Backcountry and fishing visitors
Trout streams feed the Rio Grande, and the headwaters in the Weminuche Wilderness attract hikers. Outfitters, lodges, and trail crews serving backcountry groups can use a kitchen trailer, showers, restrooms, or refrigeration at base sites. Placement on forest land requires permission from the managing agency.
- Seasonal kitchen overflow during theatre summers
- Responder and evacuee feeding during wildfires
- Outfitter and trail crew base camps
Delivery from our Denver warehouse to City of Creede
We keep equipment in Denver, the Colorado capital, and plan every delivery from there. City of Creede is about 165 miles from the warehouse as the crow flies; the actual road route, timing, and any permits are confirmed when we quote.
Getting a trailer to City of Creede
CO 149, the Silver Thread byway, reaches Creede about 21 miles north of its junction with US 160, and crosses Spring Creek Pass at 10,901 feet beyond. Trailers from Denver travel a long way into the San Luis Valley first. Check CDOT winter conditions.
If your project spans more than one site, South Fork, about 20 miles from City of Creede, and Lake City, about 24 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Del Norte at 33 miles.

How a rental works
Rentals run by the month, with short-term and long-term options. Delivery, setup, and pickup are coordinated for your site. An inquiry does not reserve equipment; a person confirms availability, delivery time, and terms with you. Hours: open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Setup usually takes about five hours for kitchens and dishwashing trailers and about one hour for refrigeration units, and an inquiry is the first step, not a reservation.

Frequently asked questions
Who permits a temporary kitchen in Mineral County?
Contact Mineral County public health or the state health agency about mobile and temporary food service. Share your menu, dates, and setup, and ask which license, inspection, or plan review applies before the trailer is dispatched.
How does elevation near 9,000 feet affect a trailer?
At about 8,800 feet, gas appliances may perform differently depending on their altitude rating, and nights can be cold. Give us your site elevation, expected temperatures, and utilities so we can discuss equipment and winterization before delivery.
How fast can a trailer get to City of Creede if our kitchen is down?
Call (888) 385-5513 at any hour and we begin planning on that call. Trailers leave from our Denver warehouse, and the delivery time to City of Creede depends on the equipment and the road, which we confirm in your quote.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
Not by itself. We reply with availability, timing, and terms first, and equipment is reserved only after you agree to them.
