Basecamp to RMNP and other CO fun!
Winding River is an awesome campground as a Base camp for the West entrance to RMNP as well as centrally located for visits to Grand Lake and Grandby CO-both of which are cute small towns centered around large reservoirs. The campground itself is on beautiful property and off the highway-aka-no road noise. There are two sections of the campground-the "bottom" portion and the "top area". As a personal preference we preferred the 'bottom area' with our Travel Trailer. This area has more spaced out spots with a bit more privacy but only W/E hookups. The top area is great, just a little closer spots, and no trees aka not much privacy but full hookups.
Make sure to do a visit to Shadow Mountain Lake and Grand Lake Main street-very cute area.
