What Guests Are Saying
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.

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.
