Our campsite was quiet secluded yet close to town. We had wildlife walk through the campsite daily. the campground was easy to find and easy to get into. The bathrooms were clean and the nearby. There were an amazing variety of fir and pine trees. I like the walking trails that were inside our campground. One downside was at least on the two sites we tried to use very difficult to get into and leveled on because they were rather small. We got a warning ticket because one of our wheels was touching a blade of grass... I exaggerate, one wheel was off the pavement, in the gravel. The staff was friendly and helpful and allowed us to move into a different site to try to solve our leveling problem. the Aspenglen campground is the one closest to the National Park entrance and therefore most of the trails, lakes and other attractions were farther away, but it was convenient to and from Estes Park, where we had multiple family functions to attend. We recommend this campground.

I do not live in Colorado so when I go camping i am there for the adventure and solitude from the daily hustle. Aspenglen camp ground is very well maintained and quiet at night, perfect for sleeping under the stars. The Park Rangers are always friendly and helpful. There is always firewood and ice available as you run out. I have been hiking RMNP off and on for the past 20 years and staying at the campground for the last 6 years in a row, I will always stay there when I visit.

The site was perfect for us! Convenient to Estes Park (where we were attending the Scottish-Irish Festival.) Our site was completely in the shade. Easy to get in and out with our 15 foot A-Liner.

We only stayed one night but it was very nice. Parking was level and not right on top of other campers

We come here each fall after the crowds have left and Labor Day is a few weeks past. The nights are cool but still okay for tent camping. There are always open spots at this time of year, but we always reserve just so we know (with 2 kids, 2 dogs, it's just easier to know you've got a spot). The shaded spots and trees are my favorites, but if you prefer sun, you can find those too. There's tent sites and RV sites in different loops. The bathrooms are all new within the past 5 years, sites are clean, hosts are reasonable, and wildlife aplenty. We always see deer, turkey, squirrels, chipmunks, and occasionally an elk. We live only about 40 minutes away and love the closeness that is Aspenglen. We're hardcore fans of this specific epic campground. RNMP and the National Parks are worth loving and protecting for future generations!

We stayed in site 1 and had an excellent experience. The washrooms were very clean and in good shape. Rangers were friendly and the check in process was quick and easy. A pack of turkeys even wandered through our site at dusk! One thing to note- it is necessary to take bear precautions here, including locking up food and scented items in the provided bear locker.

Clean, beautiful and spacious campground. Also close to a mini market in case you need to get some essentials. Would certainly recommend it!
