We had a great site. The campground was so quiet. No light pollution at all.

Absolutely fantastic campground! The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and the entire area is impeccably maintained. My family had an incredible time and can't wait to return!

Elk bugled nearby all night long which was exciting. Some bathrooms were newish while others were quite ancient but still functional. Nice quiet place.

Can walk up to VC and restaurant and other small paths. Gets you in the park to allow for Bear Lake road access. Friendly Rangers and camp hosts. Wood was available, contrary to literature. Most have some privacy and are somewhat level, more than many other older NPS campgrounds .

You can enjoy the sounds of the Fall River. Lots of wildlife viewing. Beautiful mountain scenery. Great night skies.

Loved the location inside Rocky. We were lucky to get two nights from cancellations and were happy even though we had 2 different sites so had to move. Our favorite was the B loop - small and quiet with very close restroom. We could hear the elk bugling and deer walked through often. The second night we were at the end of the C loop, site 42. Very large site next to the water spigot and right next to the walking path that goes a few miles towards Estes. Not a big deal, but after 3 days of hiking in the park, it was tiring to walk uphill to the restrooms and to the trash dumpster! Beautiful view of Deer Mountain and there is also a city open space at the end of the campground. Heard owls while walking here early in the morning. Hope to go back next year and stay in one spot!

The camping site was great. Unfortunately, it rained most of the first day which you guys can’t control. Great camping and hiking overall. Thanks!

Great campground and site! We were a bit concerned about privacy and noise when we arrived, but it ended up being great. You could hear nearby water running. The bear box accessible to our site was completely full.
