What Guests Are Saying
Aspenglen Campground in Rocky Mountain National Park offers a beautiful, well-maintained setting with clean facilities and friendly staff. Campers appreciate the quiet atmosphere, scenic views, and proximity to nature, including a nearby creek and wildlife sightings. However, some visitors noted noise from a nearby event venue, which can disrupt the otherwise peaceful experience. Overall, the campground is highly recommended for its cleanliness, organization, and convenient location.

Our initial experience was great—the staff were helpful and the facilities were clean. However, the peaceful atmosphere was completely ruined starting around 7:30 PM. A large group started playing extremely loud music with a DJ and microphone, which continued well past 9:00 PM. The noise was so disruptive that we couldn't stay the night. We came to the campsite for peace and quiet, and the loud music completely ruined the experience. It was disappointing to see such a lack of consideration for other campers.

Excellent campground! I recommend driving up
1. Old Fall River Road (One-way dirt road up mountain) and enjoying the beauty as you travel.
2. I really enjoyed Bear Lake and hiking all the way up to Emerald Lake (Even though I am 62 years old)
3. Ask the local rangers where they think are the wonderful treasures and adventures of the Rocky Mountain National Park. They know a lot!
Note: Cell phone service can be tricky. I had no service (Verizon) at campsite 20 Loop B, but campsites closer to the river may get a signal. (Having said that, I was totally okay not having my phone work in my tent / at my campfire, as that is part of the beauty of tent camping and enjoying nature! Also of interest, there are no showers at this campsite, and perhaps none in the Rocky Mountain National Park (I am not sure about the park as a whole?) Showers were are available in town (Estes Park) at the laundry mat for $6, and perhaps else where in town - ask around. I mention this as the previous 7 days of tent camping I was at Jenny Lake in the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, and they have showers available for $5 coin operated at the campsite, and I was surprised the Rocky Mountain National Park campsite did not have any. Excellent experience and great campsite. I would like to recommend this to any and all campers. Wonderful people.

Site 45 was tight for our RV, I think the spot itself is ok, but overhanging bushes make it tight. 1 of the restrooms is outdated (eg no ability to lock doors, paint has faded) though still functional. Other restroom shows how the other should be. Enjoyed our stay, in the park, but also close to estes park to enjoy one of its restaurants. Liked also the fact that there is a "left over"-box at the entrance, where you can donate (in our case, since it was the last night of our holiday) or take stuff usefull for other campers.

Clean - bathrooms flush and running water. Up against the mountain and quiet. Good shade coverage depending on spot.
