This campsite listed it as having shade but there was none. The tent site had lots of rocks which made it very uncomfortable. It’s also located close to road and other residential community making it very noisy until late at night. I would not visit it again.
The Bear Lake Road was very nice. I liked that the best. I was disappointed there was not more wildlife throughout the park.

Not enough parking. Too many hikers entering the park before a timed entry pass is needed filling up parking that was needed for those using timed entry passes. This is a flaw in the system.

Wonderful campground and location! We loved out walk up spot. It felt very secluded and gave the kids plenty of space to run around without bothering our neighbors.

Good views, clean rest rooms, not a lot of shade, many sites for smaller units & tents. Quiet, ice & firewood available, sites spread pretty good for the most part. I would camp here again.

Tent sites are a little too close together but everyone was quiet and respectful. Beautiful place to stay

Aspenglen was a great launching point for our adventures in RMNP. We summited Longs Peak, drove to Grand Lake, hiked the Bear Lake trails and went into Estes for mini-golfing. Our site (C26) was nicely shaded and had good privacy. We didn't see any bear and all of the campers around us were very respectful and quiet at night. We could fit our 6 person Kingdom and our 2 person Big Agnes on the tent pad. The bathrooms were clean and the park staff was nice and helpful. The fire ring wasn't too high so you can actually SEE your campfire at night, which is SO nice!! We cooked flatbread on the grate one night and also used a camp stove. It was a great camping trip!
