Best Glamping near Estes Park, CO

665 Reviews

Elk Meadows Lodge & RV Resort and Estes Park KOA provide upscale glamping accommodations near the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Elk Meadows features comfortable yurts with breathtaking views of Longs Peak, while the KOA offers both yurts and canvas glamping tents with real beds, electricity, and private decks. Both locations include full bathroom facilities with hot showers, although the glamping units themselves typically do not have en-suite bathrooms. The sites come equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and drinking water access, with wood available for purchase at camp stores. A recent visitor noted, "We had a great stay in a glamping unit with the most amazing views of the mountains in all directions - absolutely beautiful."

Located just minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park's Beaver Meadows entrance, these glamping sites offer immediate access to world-class hiking, wildlife viewing, and outdoor recreation. Winding River Resort, another glamping option slightly farther away in Grand Lake, provides canvas accommodations with comfortable bedding alongside horseback riding opportunities. The glamping season generally runs from May through early October, with peak booking periods in July and August requiring reservations months in advance. On-site amenities at various locations include swimming pools, mini-golf, playgrounds, and organized activities for families. According to one camper, "The glamping sites are worth the premium price for the comfort and the incredible location - we were a 5-minute drive from the national park entrance while still enjoying real beds and protection from the elements."

    North Park Campground

    Not well kept, but has potential

    Was an old KOA. In fact, there are two typical KOA A frame buildings that need to be torn down due to their lack of upkeep. The grounds were overgrown with weeds knee high.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon

    Breathtaken, I remember it all too well 🫶🏼

    Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon is everything you expect it to be and more from the overview! Nestled right in beautiful Colorado, even!& I love camping! Okay, I admit, I love‘camping’ in parks where there are cabins with beds and air! So of course, we stayed in a climate controlled cabin! Reminded me of KOA Campgrounds and similar price except this park is in COLORADO with amazing views and KOA’s are just barely outside of boring iowa/SD cities(the ones we stayed in) the scenic walks were worth it themselves!

    But they have all sites, not just cabins, of course.(: I have 3 children and not one of them wanted to leave!!!(Made my sanity go a bit crazy, but says a lot when children stay somewhere for vacation and aren’t complaining and becoming bored before the end!) When we didn’t understand something they jumped to explain without being annoyed or irritated. They really hooked us up there! A little note: in my experience, and I’m sure everyone there is great, but Dillon, especially, took so much time to answer our questions show us around and ensure we had a quality time! He was so kind and has that approachable personality of someone who loves to help others and ensure you have the best possible time!! 10/10 would stop again!

    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
