Aspenglen Campground is praised for its beautiful setting, great location, and well-maintained facilities, including clean restrooms and private, tree-lined sites. Many visitors appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and helpful rangers, making it a favorable spot for camping. However, some noted a lack of sufficient food storage boxes and limited access to trails and water nearby, but overall, the experience remains highly positive.

What a wonderful, neat and clean campground. We had a herd of elk wander through our campsite, what a treat. The campground host was friendly and helpful. We would stay there again.

Aspenglen was a beautiful campground to stay at. We were only staying one night on our way through the area, but it was a great stay. We stayed on a walk-to camp sight in loop A, and I would definitely do that again. We did a short walk through the campground, and all the loops seemed like good places to stay.

Clean. More noise then we are use to. Spots close together. We got there late and left early. Friendly.

Great campsite. Aspenglen is quiet and pleasant overall, even though it is not that short a drive to many of the main hiking trailheads. I love the walk in sites, loop a (which is all generator free, so pleasantly quiet) sites a to e, because of how much space there is and how private they are. Sites c through e are farthest but also prettiest and there's nothing between them and the river. So you get the nice rushing river sounds. And access - if you're willing to clamber down the banks - to sit in the rocks next to the river. The sale of firewood and ice all evenings except Wednesdays from 5:30pm - 7:30pm is convenient, and even though the price is slightly higher than in town I think a nice bonus. Note that camping stove fuel is available at limited places in estes park - only the hardware store that's open 8-6. If you're willing to carry on all your stuff a bit of a ways then the walk in word are asking the nicest one been to at any national park, and imo site e is the nicest. Btw, the toilets were quite clean even when the campsite was full.
