Campsite at A97 was beautiful with an amazing view. Bathrooms were warm at night (which I really appreciated) and always stocked with toilet paper. One of the sinks had a clog and was filled with water the whole time I stayed. I really appreciated the ample sized bear containers at each site.

We took the shuttle from Moraine campground to Bear Lake. Told the driver when we got on, we were going to Bear Lake. She NEVER told us we needed to change buses at the Park n Ride. We rode the bus way longer than was needed - because she never told us we needed to change buses. Made for a very long day riding a bus in circles!! The sound system on the buses is awful !! can't understand what the drivers are saying. Perhaps they could speak slower, and clearer. Also a simple bus route map on the wall of the bus would help immencely. I could figure it out myself, if I had an overview of the entire system.

We love staying at Moraine park campground. It’s our favorite place to camp in colorado. The meadow is just beautiful and offers a great chance to see the elk in late summer but definately in fall during the rut. Camping there alsoprovides us access to all of rmnp without trying to get a park entry pass. Definately see Sprague in the early morning for a chance to see a moose by or crossing this beautiful lake.

Excellent campground! Stayed for 7 nights at the end of September, walk to overview of Moraine Park meadow for great views of elk. Very quiet and sites have enough space for privacy, does not feel like you are on top of each other. Clean and well maintained throughout. Stayed in site A 068 in a camper van. Get out there!!
