The road is steep, but nothing crazy. Our RAV4 has no issues at all. After the yogi bear campground the turn is on the right, kind of hidden. Head up until you see some campfire rings on the left. If you go a little off to the left on the first big turnoff, there are several good spots further from the road.

We got up on a Friday night and we're next to only one other couple. By Sunday all the spots were taken at some point. Dogs had plenty of space to roam. Not too crowded, and also not far from lake Estes.
