  Riverview RV Park & Campground

  Sweet spot!

  Its in a beautiful spot, tree covered, and a river runs through it. About 10 mins outside of Loveland and 40 mins from Estes park. Downside: free WiFi is worse than dialup, and was told it wasn’t worth paying for the premium cuz it wasn’t much better.

  Elk Meadows Lodge & RV Resort

  Mountain views

  This is real close to RMNP and yet around the corner from Estes park. It is a bit dusty like a lot of Co. But RR's are well maintained and clean. Try even do trash pick up. The lodge had a band on weekend and there is a big dog run and activities.

  Riverview RV Park & Campground

  Nice campground, close together sites

  The campground is located along a river with walking paths. There are some shade trees but some of the sites are very sunny without any shade. Sites are very close together and a bit noisy. We did not have any shade at any time of the day making our site very hot. There are lots of amenities and music on the weekends during the summer. The location is not too far from Estes Park & Rocky Mountain National Park.

  Riverview RV Park & Campground

  Family and Pet Friendly with a High Probability of Seeing Wildlife

  My wife and I spent a week here.  We enjoyed seeing the kids playing in the playground and riding around the park on their bikes.  Nearly every day a deer would come munch on the greenery right behind our rig.  The staff were super friendly and I believe we received good value for our payment considering the prices and sold-out state of other nearby parks like Horsetooth Reservoir.  The campground is right on the banks of the Big Thompson river which does provide a soothing background for those fortunate enough to have sites on its banks.  The roads and campsites are dirt, and a little messy after a rain storm.  I think more attention could be paid to mowing the weeds of campsites between users.  The laundry facilities were underwhelming as well; there wer two broken washing machines while I was there, and I spoke to a permanent resident who stated that they don't do their laundry in the park because of the poor availability of the machines.  The facilities were clean.  It can be suddenly and very windy here, so most campers did not use awnings.  The campground is about 35 minutes from Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain National Forest, two excellent destinations for anyone coming for a vacation.

  Estes Park KOA

  Decent

  Decent campground. Showers, bathrooms, laundry available. More “glamping” than camping

  Site 459 - State Forest State Park

  Dispersed Camping at American Lakes

  This is one of my all-time favorite places to hike and camp in Colorado. I have not yet stayed in any of the campgrounds but have backpacked to the top of the American Lakes Trail. Not only is this hike fantasticly beautiful and full of wildlife (tons of moose especially) but there is great dispersed camping along the trails. You simply cannot find more scenic and free camping in Colorado. I would highly recommended camping anywhere in State Forest State Park!

  Also, there are quite a few huts, cabins and yurts that can be rented year round in SFSP!

  Arapaho Valley Ranch

  Dump

  $90 for dry camping!!?? Rip off. And YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THE SHOWERS. They are for glamping sites only! The only thing good was we had a nice view. It's very difficult to get into though.

  Longs Peak Lantern

  Escape from the city in style

  Jake from the Dyrt here!  The Longs Peak Lantern Glamping Tent is a great spot to escape from the city without going too far, and its a great jumping off point to visit Rocky Mountain National Park!  Check them out and share some pictures you take on your trip!

  Arapaho Valley Ranch

  We love Arapaho Valley Ranch!

  There are community fire pits, stocked trout pond, access to the river, acres of woodland, and Colorado’s smallest bar! We love the vibe at AVR and the owners are amazing. Occassionally you can catch live music and there are several historic buildings they are restoring. We have a few friends that don’t camp which is okay because they also offering glamping, tipis, cabins, and a lodge. Trust me... one stay and you’ll be booking another one soon after!

  Site 459 - State Forest State Park

  Crags campground, camping (mostly) as it should be

  This is not 'glamping'. This is a pitch your tent, start a fire, watch the deer walk thru type campground. Beautiful views of the Rockies, trails for all levels of hiking. My only tip--bring your own TP, they kept running out. And a jacket, nights are chilly at this altitude. No trailers, RVS allowed as tiny, winding dirt road to get there.

  Estes Park KOA

  Clean but a bit too close for comfort

  I can't give any KOA a 5 star. It's the extreme of glamping. The only reason we stayed here cause my husband was running a marathon and hotels were booked and other camp grounds were booked. This was our last option. The people were amazing, the bathrooms super clean, lots to do for families with kids. But like I said it's just about too close to other campers. But you can see the mountains, enjoy the fresh air and go else where to have your mountain outdoor fun! :)

  Arapaho Valley Ranch

  A must do!

  This place is one of my favorites. The campsites are very well taken care of. Camp host is nearby and helpful if you have any questions or concerns. Perfect location for paddle boarding, kayaks and fishing. Sites range from tent camping, Trailer, on-site Tee Pee's, cabins to glamping. They generally have resident moose that love to hang out in and around the property. Well kept playground for your Littles as well as complimentary canoes that can be used on their on-site pond. The owners are awesome and super friendly.

  Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountain

  I’m not even proud of how much I loved this place

  I’m a mountain girl! Like grab your back pack and hike in! Then we had kids and splurged on a camper... and now this place has me over here laying pool side... drink in hand, head over heels about glamping. Seriously I loved this so much. They have an amazing pool! Bowling alley, arcade, restaurant, bars (yes more than one!) they had live music, they have fishing, and dog parks, bike rentals, daily trash pick up from your campsite, firewood delivery, play grounds, golf carts... it is a little close together with out any trees of coverage BUT the pros far (FAR FAR FAR) out weigh that one con.

  Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Estes Park

  Gorgeous Rocky Mountain campground!

  Estes Park Jellystone Campground is everything you’d want in a campground in the Rocky Mountains! Minutes away from NP entrances and Estes Park, yet totally secluded in the mountain wilderness.

  We got a site furthest away from the entrance / highway, up a steep road (Yogi’s “Hey Hey Highway”). The sites are small and close together, but the surrounding beauty more than makes up for it.

  Super friendly staff and lots of activities for the kids. My teens even had fun here! Will definitely return!!

  Hermit Park Open Space

  Best camping near RMNP

  Stayed here during our visit to RMNP and it was perfect! Very conveniently located, only a short drive into Estes Park. Lots of trails for hiking and biking in the park. Each campsite had a bear box, picnic table, and fire ring. There are plenty of trees for shade and some privacy, but you are still near other campers. You must pay for the day pass each day you camp, but there is a water fill up station which is nice. The park roads are not paved but AWD isn’t really necessary. Would definitely stay here again when in Estes Park.

  Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Estes Park

  Pretty nice campground close to Estes Park

  We stayed at the Yogi Bear Jellystone Campground outside of Estes Park for 3 nights in early August. We had a water / electric site with our pop-up and it was in a perfect location near the bathhouse on the upper part of the main loop. I was surprised at how large the campsites are - lots of room around the fire pit and picnic table even with our camper and main vehicle. The location approximately 4 miles outside of Estes Park is great - it took us

  Great spot

  Great place to camp and enjoy Estes Park and RMNP. Very clean. Well laid out and views of the surrounding peaks. Not roughing it but quiet convenient and worth a visit.

  Estes Park Campground at Mary's Lake

  Nice location but a little cramped

  It was a nice campground within a short distance of Estes Park but sites were really crammed in there. We were right on top of our neighbors. It was clean and well maintained.

  Estes Park KOA

  Friendly, Clean, and Accomodating

  This was our first stay in Estes Park, and we couldn't be happier with the KOA facilities and staff. 

  The staff were *extremely* helpful and welcoming. We didn't feel the "Oh, God... another tourist" vibes we got from basically everyone else in Colorado. On the contrary, they couldn't have been happier to see us and welcome us to their little city. They even gave us personal directions and recommendations for what to do in Estes Park. Moreover, we decided to leave a night early, and they completely refunded our last night's stay without hesitation. 

  The facilities are excellent. There are combo shower/bathroom stations throughout the campground so you never have to walk far to clean up. These stations also have dish washing sinks, and the the campground provided free dish soap and one of those nice soaping-dispensing sponges. The fire rings are dual purpose, as well--with space for a regular bonfire and then an attached 1' x 2' section with a grill for cooking. 

  The only thing I didn't like about the campground was how close it was to one of the main thoroughfares, but that's not uncommon with KOA's, so it didn't bother me that much.

  Elk Meadows Lodge & RV Resort

  Beautiful RV Park!

  We got into Estes Park on a Friday night with plans to stay elsewhere but those fell through. Luckily, Elk Meadow Lodge and RV Park had spots open for us! The park itself is lovely, well maintained and a spectacular view of Long's Peak. Facilities were very nice and clean. Hot tub and pool were wonderful for days after hikes. They had live music and drinks on the weekends, plus free pancakes in the morning on Sunday! The price was a bit steep but we loved it so much we sucked it up and stayed longer than expected (plus it's Estes Park, what do you expect?). The staff there was probably some of the nicest staff I've seen at an RV park - very kind and helpful. One of our favorite places to stay (since there aren't many options for dispersed camping in the area).

  Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Estes Park

  Close proximity to Estes Park

  Spent some time here during Covid-19. About 7 minutes from downtown Estes Park. Nicely wooded and level sites offering some privacy. Plenty of amenities including pool and jump pad which our toddler enjoyed. Would recommend for a base camp for trips to Rocky Mountain NP

  Great kid-friendly mountain campground

  Very kid-friendly campground with tons of activities for them and adults.  Game rooms, pool, hiking, etc.  Some of the sites are a little challenging to get into with a big camper, but doable.  We'd defininately go back again.  Just a few minutes from downtown Estes Park.  Beautiful setting!!

  Estes Park KOA

  Meh

  Campsites are very close together - you should have seen this place over Fourth of July Weekend! It was packed. It's a bit close to the road for my liking as well. You can tent camp or go in an RV. Location is good - near Estes Park and not far from RMNP.
