Excellent spot for families but a bit loud

I visited RMNP during early Sept when COVID precautions were still in effect. They were limiting camping and park entry to 40% capacity. The campground was still very noisy due to lots of families making the trip from Denver. Perfect place for kids as the bathrooms are centrally located and the campground gets frequent furry visitors. My review includes a video of a few deer that made their way through my campsite one morning.

The showers are SOLAR SHOWER areas, which means you need to bring a solar shower bag if you want to shower. They are available at most sporting goods/outdoor places in the area. There was a dish washing station available and Bear boxes (make sure you store food/cooking equipment properly). The bathrooms were clean but you may have to wait in line as they tend to be a busy place between 7am-9am as well as 6pm-9pm.

Morraine is a good location and I would strongly recommend waking up early one morning to get some photos of sunrise at Sprague Lake. My review also includes a photo and video of some Elk that caused a minor traffic jam near the parking lot of Sprague Lake. I also included a photo of the sunrise from Sprague Lake. This area is known for beautiful reflection photography but the wind made that difficult for me during my stay.

Overall I think RMNP is underrated due to it’s size. It offers some amazing wildlife viewing opportunities and absolutely stunning mountain views.
