Best Glamping near Rocky Mountain National Park, CO

Great campground! Wonderful view of the surrounding mountains, quiet, clean, staff was friendly. They had wood and ice for sale. Conveniently located across the road from Rocky Mountain National Park shuttle that takes you to the major trailheads as well as Estes Park.

Very nice campground. Great starting point for visiting Rocky Mountain national park.

Fond memories from childhood, lots of amenities but lacks wildness. Rocky Mountain National Park is amazing though. Pictures are from a snowy day last winter.

This place is huge, beautiful, and nice. The showers were clean. There are all kinds of things to do on the grounds, plus you have quick and easy access to the Rocky Mountain National Park, Arapaho National Forest, and Roosevelt National Forest.

It was a large campground and nice to park for a night while on the road but a little too close to other campsites for my liking. It’s right next to Estes park though so it’s got a lot of cool things to do and very close to Rocky Mountain national park ! Great location for a campground.

Sites are a bit close together but provide a decent space. Full hookups and tent camping available. Sites are level on gravel and there is a fire ring and picnic table on concrete slab. Must be bear aware and there will be dear and possibly elk walking across the campground. Breathtaking views and sunrises. Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park all there!

This campground close to Estes Park is a bit out of the way but worth the visit. Located 5 miles south of town you can be in Rocky Mountain National park in minutes. The sites were a little uneven for a tent and the restrooms were a walk. The highway traffic also made for a long night if you are a light sleeper.

We enjoyed the easy access to the Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown Estes from Eastes Park at Mary's Lake. We even shared a quick walking tour in one of our videos: https://youtu.be/M-oUxILIC3k?t=832

Clean, propane and firewood available, and a nice little pool. The highlight was seeing Elk walk right into camp! 

Affordible for the area we would stay again.

Good Sam’s RV park with full amenities. We booked a water/electric online, but got bumped up to full hookups. Beautiful river going beside many of the sites. Newer bathrooms. Huge park with playground for kids. Our site was very wide and open, but we might just have been lucky. Most are tree covered sites and not packed in. Dog park. About 45 minute beautiful drive to Rocky Mountain National Park entrance.

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.

With no traffic, it’s only about 6 minutes from the park entrance. There certainly is a lot to do here and I appreciate the bear boxes at each site. Very well maintained. My only complaint would be the cost (which I’m sure is the going rate around here) and the $2 coin operated showers. They have a coin exchanger on-site, but it certainly seems like a way to nickel & dime you, quite literally. But I have enjoyed my stay and my time at Rocky Mountain National Park!

A lovely wooded campground literally on the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park - we even saw moose from the back window of our RV!  Options for everyone from cabins, to FHU RV sites (limited and not the ideal locations, but still nice), water/electric sites and tenting areas.  Even Conestoga wagons!  There is horseback riding on site and we loved watching the horses run in and out each morning/evening and you just have to cross the road for a pretty hike along the Colorado River in RMNP (no dogs on the trails).  We camped with our Great Dane - very dog friendly with bag stations around the park.  Friendly and helpful staff, a small shop with supplies and souvenirs, a cute little petting zoo with goats, sheep, and pigs.

This is a beautiful campground with lots of family-friendly activities to do.  They have direct access to the headwaters of the Colorado River.  We visited a little late in the season (August) to catch many fish, but we still had fun.  We found some tailwaters below the big lakes and caught some trout on the fly rods.  

This site is minutes away from an entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park.  We got up early and hiked a trail in RMNP and had a few moose walk right past us.  It is also close by to the major lakes of the area.  

They rent ATVs and lots of people bring their own horses to this campground to enjoy the many back-country trails that begin at the back of the property and go high up into the mountains.  

Facilities were well kept and clean.

A group of 3 families stayed a week here.  We had two popups and one travel trailer.  We used the campground as a base to explore Rocky Mountain National Park and Roosevelt National Forest.  It took us about 5 minutes to get to Estes Park and an additional 10 minutes into Rocky Mountain National Park.  You are basically in Roosevelt National Forest.  

This isn't the typical Jellystone Campground.  While it has all the typical amenities (pool, mini-golf, jump pad, ga-ga ball, basketball, etc.), the campsites are more private.  Because it is built into a hill, this isn't just a field like some Jellystones are.  There are also quite a few mature trees.  The managers and workers were very friendly and the place was kept quite clean.  The showers are regularly cleaned and I did not have to wait for showers (except when my own teenage nieces got there ahead of me, but not anybody else).  

Here are a few issues we had:  1.  Not enough power at the campsite.  We could not run our air conditioning nor could the other campers with us because they did not have the round bigger plugs, just regular plugs.  There must be some sites with this ability but we were not placed on them despite telling them we had campers.  2.  Tough walk up the hill from ranger station and bathrooms.  Especially if you've been drinking or hiking all day.  3.  Bears.  I saw bears twice in one night in our campsite.  This is not the fault of management, but be careful!  They were easily scared off and caused no damage other than giving me a slight stroke.

In summary, I'd stay there again.  I was hesitant to stay at first because it was a "Jellystone", but it was better than the previous ones I'd stayed in and not as crowded or busy.
