My favorite!

Just stayed here as our Basecamp for our RMNP adventures. This has moved to the top of my list of favorite campsites! Some sites are smaller, but several are good size and spaces far enough apart for the perfect amount of privacy. The vault toilets were the cleanest we have ever seen! Basically no cell service unless the wind blew just right. Also, they do charge an additional $15 to use the dump station. That felt like a rip off considering what we already paid to stay here with no services, but wasn’t much we could do about it.

Beautiful County Park by Rocky Mountain NP

Just south of Estes Park, CO and ~30 minutes to rocky mountain national park. This county park is a hidden gem. Huge open space preserve with a few great hikes (Kruger rock had phenomenal views but moderately strenuous). We stayed in the bobcat loop that was 2.5 miles up a dirt road from the entrance. Aside from the windy dirt road, no complaints from us - would stay again!

Expensive camping.

Sites are very hard to get your unit level. Very high price for no hookups. Close to Estes Park.
