Aspenglen Campground — Rocky Mountain National Park

Campsites were nice sized, large food storage cabinets and the comfort station was new and cleaned well. Rangers were very helpful and happily answered questions for our kids. No electric at the campsites and no showers-par for the course at a National Park. Had a great stay

Quiet campground with occasion antlered visitors 

This is closest to Sheep Lakes you can camp if you’re hoping to see sheep (we’ve never seen them at Sheep Lakes though). You will definitely see elk everywhere. I like the walk-to sites across across the little river. You absolutely need reservations in the summer and into fall (for the elk rut). Lovely wooded area with great views everywhere. This is probably the closest campground to town and grocery.

Lovely site near sheep...maybe... 

This was our first campground stop of the summer for us. The views alone were breathe taking at this campground. Aspengen just remodeled all the bathrooms on site with running water and flushable toilets. Our tent only site was a walk-in site with the perfect amount of privacy. Site B is the least shaded on that loop but still a nice site with a fire ring, picnic table and tent pad. There are 2 huge bear lockers for all food and scented toiletries. One is located near where your car is parked the other located 10 feet from the camp pad. There's also a water pump with drinkable water located near the parking area. You'll have to purchase fire wood if you want to use the fire ring $5/bundle. Falls river runs right along the edge of campgrounds. You can't get in but it is nice to listen to at night while laying under the stars. You'll definitely see plenty of deer freely roam around the camp even in the middle of the day. Highly recommend reserving this place early in the year. Other sites on loop A are also very nice. Great site, great views, great park rangers.

P. S. Since the campground is within the park you'll have to pay the $20/day or $30/week parking pass upon entering

Amazing views 

it was awesome..but overpriced. We got some snow up high in the park which was awesome. We just think camping in national parks in not worth it anymore. But if you want to explore a big national park and you plan on spending a fews days it not worth to drive out and in every day. It really depends on how big your rig is and how far out of the park your driving. Anyways not many people on weekdays so it was alright

Cost to much.. my reviews of national park camping all sound the same haha.

Of all the national parks where I've camped, this was my favorite campsite. I got a walk-in site, and, besides not having trees perfectly situated for my hammock, I had no complaints - secluded, quiet, well-maintained, beautiful scenery, plenty of bear lockers, easy park access with proximity to a grocery store, flush toilets and running water! The only thing missing here is showers, which most parks don't have.  I can't recommend it enough! 

My favorite national park campground

sites are a bit close together and most are shaded but there ain’t much privacy in between. bathrooms were nice and new but no showers. ice was available from 5-6:15 pm daily. great views of the mountains and very close to Estes Park. we found it an excellent starting point for our adventures! 

each site had its own bear locker and all scented items, including food was stored there. this made cooking a little more difficult but was fine overall. it is close to the park boundary and we heard music from weddings on Friday and Saturday nights but it ended at 10 pm. 

it was also possible to walk to the Fall River Visitor Center from the campground by going across s bridge that goes over Fall River. 

close but cozy

Aspenglen is located just inside the Fall River Entrance Station.  Once you have entered the park it is the first left that takes you down to the Aspenglen campground.  There are a few more trees in this area, so you are more likely to find shade.  There are some sites that are specifically for tents and others that accommodate small to medium RV's.  There are no hookups for electricity or water and cellphone service is mostly non-existent.  The sites are spaced more widely apart than at Glacier Basin.  There are bear boxes to store your food, fire rings, and tables.  Three loops, and some walk-in sites compose the layout.  There was a host at the campground.  They did sell firewood near the check-in post.

A quiet oasis in a busy park

This site had a bit of a drop from the parking to the pad which is fine, just something to know. Nicely shaded and a short drive to visitor center with a restaurant. The ranger station sells ice and firewood from 5:30-7:30 in the evening. Each site has a bear box and the rangers are very serious about their use. We saw other campers who left food unattended get a ticket. (As they should) restrooms were clean. No showers. A lovely experience 

Wonderful stay

Absolutely incredible. Not even sure what else to say. Scenery was amazing.  Our site was spacious and felt relatively private (although I can’t say this for all sites at the park. Some seemed pretty out in the open). The campground itself is pretty well protected from wind being that it’s in a valley. Bathroom facilities were very nice and well maintained. We had some wildlife visitors throughout our stay but no bears. Truly one of the best campsites we’ve ever had. 

Incredible Stay

Nice campground. Sites in middle of loop C get a lot of sun. Clean bathrooms with flush toilets. 

We stayed in site 35 and website stated 2 cars but really should be one car.

Site 32 would be better if have 2 cars to park.
