Spacious campground

Lots of room to spread out but some weird regulations. Like only 3.2% alcohol?

Beautiful and serene

We stayed in the month of November of 2021. The road is okay to drive on, we took our car and tent camped. We didn’t take our camper as the switchbacks are very tight and the road is very steep.

We stayed a couple of nights and decided to move on because the park ranger gave us a visit about 3-4 times a day. We wanted to be left alone not make friends.

There is a little store at the bottom of the mountain and you can also fill up there. I wasn’t paying attention to see if there was a dump station.

There is a fee upon entry. You have to pay for the nights you plan to stay and you have to pay for your vehicle to have a permit to be there. I think we spent around $30 for 3 or 4 days. We left early so i’m sure that money went back to the park.

The park provides every spot with a table, fire ring and bear box. The bear box is for more than just food. If you have anything that smells good, the animals (not just bears) WILL try to get into your vehicle to steal it. Sprays, lotions, deodorants… etc.

We followed some animal trails and went on a few hikes. Seen a lot of animals, but seen no sign of fresh running water anywhere.

We were the only campers at this time of year in all 3 campgrounds. So it was very peaceful. The spaces are spread out. At the entrance to each campground there is a dumpster. So it’s not a long walk to dispose of your trash!

We will return to this area in the future. It’s a nice quaint spot with much to do.

Beautiful location and good spacing

The camp sites were well spaced and the ample trees gave you plenty of privacy. Please note, the campground doesn’t allow trailers longer than 20’. We definitely saw longer trailers but the roads are tight with lots of tree branches so it will be hard to navigate with a big trailer.

Our stay in Colorado

A lovely campground to stay at. Alot of sites. Clean bathrooms. Beautiful scenery. Nice set of cabins to stay at as well. Nice bear boxes for your food and coolers. Plenty of wild life head into Estes Park to see the Stanley Hotel and the herd of elk move through. Spend a day in Rocky Mountain Park it's just down the road. We really enjoyed our stay!

Feel remote while close to town

Not far outside of Estes Park, but far enough up the side of a mountain to enjoy the wilderness. Sites spaced nicely apart, very well maintained, great fire pits with an attached grill grate. Moose and black bear apparently frequent but haven't caused any problems. This is our 3rd stay here, and one of our favorites.

Good stuff

We couldn’t much camping around this area that was open in early April. We came across this place and stayed for 1 night. There is bear boxes and some bathroom. Sites have fire rings.

Good campsites with good views

Little pricier than I wanted, with a $9 vehicle fee and $30 camping fee, but comes with vault toilets, fire pit, and room for our two tents. Definitely had good views of the Aspens changing colors

Nice campground

Pros: Beautiful campground, easy to find, and good for first timers. Dog friendly.

Cons: $9 a day additional parking fee wasn’t mentioned in reservation. Close proximity to camp neighbors.

Overall, very nice and relaxing. Not noisy. Would recommend to friends.
