Make reservations early. Fills up fast because it is such a great place to camp. Nice pads. Firing rings.Accessible bathrooms. No showers. Firewood sold next to the entrance by the same husband and wife that have been selling firewood there for 35 years. There is a shed full of firewood. The wife was selling firewood from the back of their truck when we visited. They only sell firewood at certain times so check for times so look to your left on the way into the campground. Bear Lake is accessible and the view are stunning. Lots of trails of varying lengths and the difficulty: from easy to more challenging. You can hike fro Glacier Basin to Sprague Lake. It is popular fly fishing spot and there are hiking trails that branch off from the trails around the lake. You can bike from the campground to Bear Lake. Bear Meadows Visitor's Center is close by. It's worth a visit. "The Beaver Meadows Visitor Center is open daily, except Christmas. Located just outside of Estes Park on US 36, it features a bookstore and movie theater with regular free showings of park films. A few minutes’ walk down a paved sidewalk behind the center is the backcountry desk, the only place on the east side where you can reserve and purchase permits for backcountry campsites in person. Shuttle bus pickup is in the parking lot next to the bathrooms." MyRockyMountain.com

We stayed three nights in the Seneca Loop. Great place for RV's. Not so great for tent campers. The park's campground map does not show there is an active railroad close by with trains running in the middle of the night and during the day. We awoke Monday morning to the sound of race cars doing practice laps and tune-up runs at Watkins Glen Raceway. The park is high above the town of Watkins Glen so biking to and from the park is a challenge although you can bike around the park. The swimming area accommodates a lot of people. The redeeming quality for this campground is the short, connecting trail that provides easy access to the Watkins Glen Gorge Trail. It's beautiful and well worth the visit even if you aren't staying in the campground.
