This was my first time camping in the wilderness and we used a 4 person tent with just enough space. I don't think there would have been enough space for a 6-person tent. The scenery was beautiful. 022 campground I thought was great! It rained for a short night, but it didn't affect the fun at all. The bear box was the perfect size.

We camped at two different Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) campsites: Timber Creek on the west side and AspenGlen on the east side. We actually much preferred Timber Creek as it seemed to be better maintained than AspenGlen, and the reservation was much less expensive. Near the Timber Creek campground, we saw lots of elk and moose at Bowen Gulch and Coyote Valley. On the east side, close to AspenGlen, we saw elk, moose, and bighorn sheep in Horseshoe Park, Sheep Lakes. Moraine Park on the Bear Lake Rd (need timed entry plus pass) also had lots of elk and moose.

I usually camp at Moraine Park, but decided to try Aspenglen since Moraine Park is closed for a year. I like that Aspenglen is a small campground. The bathrooms were clean. The employees were helpful and friendly. The site (23) was great. I might not go back to Moraine Park.

Rocky Mountain is such an awesome place. Aspenglen was convenient, had clean bathrooms, and a nice campsite. Would definitely stay here again! Plus, firewood and ice cream sold on-site.
