Best Tent Camping near Rocky Mountain National Park

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.

We didn’t have reservations on a Thursday, but there were plenty of open sites. We were on our way from Rocky Mountain National Park to Aspen. The young camp host was very nice and since senior citizens qualify for discounts if they have a national park pass, the price of $5 was great.

Good campground not to far from Rocky Mountain National Park. It’s about 9 miles off the main road so it’s a good drive back in there but nice area right by the lake and some streams. Tons of hikes and fishing right by the campgrounds. The spots are mostly small so not many would hold a large trailer. Most of them have a spot for a tent as well and ours was well spaced and covered from other spots by brush and trees. Lake is huge and the cove we were by was good for paddle boarding and kayaks. Also saw lots of wildlife all around.

The park is in Rocky Mountain National Park and it is great.  There is tons of wildlife - Elk, Mule Deer, chipmunks, wild birds of all kinds.  

We stayed in a tent site but there are RV sites as well.

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!

• 14 day/night stay max.
• $24 a night for tent or RV camping (there are way more hook-up sites over tent sites. Loop D is one of the two options for tent camping and I highly recommend any of the sites in that loop.)

Bring your fishing pole, SUP, kayak, or hammock to hang out by the lake. This is my favorite campground in Colorado for the accessibility to the lake and town nearby.

This campground has spectacular 180 degree view of mountains, including Rocky Mountain National Park and lake Granby. Has hook ups, dump station and access straight to the lake. Clean bathrooms and even has showers too. The views and sunset are worth the stay. We had a trailer site, which was great. Good distance between campsites. Near the bathrooms and killer views. Tent sites seemed tight and not much privacy between them. The only downfall is that you can hear the highway of cars at all times. Would stay here again

This campground has a great view and is conveniently located to town. Tent camp sites are not fantastic or maintained very well.
