We had a wonderful stay at Aspenglen. It was a beautiful campground and the location was great and close to hiking trails. We will be back again soon!

The main advantage is that the camp is inside the park, and you don't need any other prebooked permits to go to different park areas. The camp is crowded, hence nosy. The site was clean, beautiful, but not the best we’ve been too.

I was fortunate to pick up a last minute cancellation and had a premier campsite. Next to the river , water and a trail that went outside national park so I could walk my dog . I loved it , the checkin was easy and very informative!

What a spectacular place to visit. Absolutely amazing. Stunning views, wonderful wildlife. Should be on everyone’s bucket list if your into that whole nature thing and unspoiled wilderness.

The bathrooms were pretty gross (compared to Glacier Basin). I wiped down the metal ledges at the base of the mirrors w/clorox wipes several times in the less than 24 hrs we were there & were gross from peoples toothpaste every time we went in there. Why can’t people clean up after themselves, it’s nasty! The area was pretty wet overall, lots of mosquitos (much different compared to Glacier Basin). And the cell service was awful. I get great service at the other campgrounds and in the park, this area was terrible. Overall cute campground, quieter than the others, but grosser in my opinion.

Our first time to camp here, and it's a very beautiful campground! The setting, with large trees, the valley that opens up to spectacular views, and the roaring Fall Creek all make it outstanding. Our only issue was that the campfire smoke seemed to hang in the air, possibly due to it being in a valley. We struggled with allergies and asthma due to the persistent smoke.
