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!
