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.

What a lovely beach! I had a great time visiting last summer. There's a $5 entrance fee per person for day use. They also offer camping for both RV's ($20/night) and tents ($10/night).

We got there pretty early in the day, and were able to secure one of the little hut/gazebo things for our belongings. If you see one of them available, grab it! It's nice to have a shady spot to retreat to. The beach was very clean, and much less crowded than I was expecting.

There are porta potties and outdoor showers by the beach, and indoor facilities closer to the road.

I had the great pleasure of visiting this campground last weekend. Moraine is on the east side of RMNP, near Estes Park. The campsite fee is $26/night, plus a $20/day or $70/vehicle per week entry fee. Be sure to book as far in advance as you can, as the campground can fill up months in advance during the summer.

Our site included a fire ring, a tent pad and a picnic table. There are communal bear lockers scattered about the campground. Bathrooms are a mix of vault and flush toilets, so if that's something you're picky about, you may wish to consult the campground map before making your reservation. There are no showers here, but they do have solar shower stalls (BYOBag!).

The campground is flush with birds, squirrels, chipmunks and other small wildlife. I also heard there's a herd of elk that is present many mornings in the field below the ampitheater, but I didn't have the good fortune of seeing them myself.

RMNP has a great hiker shuttle system, and there's a stop by the entrance to the campground.

From 5:30 - 8:30 pm every evening, there's a gentleman that sells soda, ice cream, firewood and kindling by the entrance to the park.

If you're not sure what activities or hikes you want to do while you're visiting the area, consult the volunteers at the ranger station by the entrance! They gave us some wonderful suggestions, and I wish we had stopped by earlier in our visit.

I stayed here over a weekend, and it was so lovely. The campsite was $16/night, and a $6/adult entrance fee.

There was plenty of wildlife around - birds, squirrels, lizards, etc. There were a ton of birds, actually, and they even have a "Bird Blind" with lots of bird feeders and flowers where you can sit and watch the birds and butterflies. Neat!

There's a park store where you can buy food and drinks, firewood, and other basic supplies. There's a trailer parked outside that sells ice cream and sno cones, which is perfect if you're not smart like us and choose a hot as heck weekend to go camping.

The bathrooms were surprisingly clean and nice for a campground. Flush toilets, warm showers, the works! Much less spider-y than I was expecting, too.

Make sure you make reservations ahead of time! I made mine on Friday for the next night, and I snagged the last available campsite. You don't choose your campsite ahead of time, rather, when you show up, the employees let you choose from a map of available sites. The woman who helped us out was super helpful in describing the cool features of the site we randomly chose.
