Rocky Mountain National Park Moraine Park Campground

Our first camping adventure in RMNP! What an abundance of incredible natural beauty! Super friendly and helpful rangers and plenty of fellow happy campers. I do have two recommendations for improvement:
1. The addition of shower facilities would greatly enhance the camping experience.
2. Please add an express lane for those returning to the Park. As already registered campers, it was very inconvenient waiting in the long line at the park entrance behind those visitors just checking in.

We stayed at Moraine campground. Most of the sites are shaded and have privacy. We had large bucks walk through our campsite on numerous days. The restrooms were clean and well-lit. I used a solar shower for the first time. It was a better experience than I had anticipated. We used the campground shuttle on multiple days. (the C loop location) Although it took longer to get somewhere, parking is limited for such a large number of people. The shuttle drivers were all friendly. It was more relaxing than trying to navigate parking. The hikes are all great. Many signs direct you where to go. My family loved the hike to Sky Pond. It is beautiful there.

We had a wonderful time at Moraine campground. There were so many great sites but I really feel we got the best one (for tent camping) with site A038. It was super private from other sites, had it's own parking area, and yet was still very convenient to the restrooms. The campground was really quiet, had lots of nice tree coverage, and we saw wildlife there every day. We also attended a nice ranger talk at the amphitheater one night, which was right next door to our site. After driving through the two other main campgrounds at the park (Glacier Basin and Timber creek), we were very glad we decided to stay at Moraine. The bathrooms could have used a bit more cleaning but I would assume that is due to all of the recent budget and staffing cuts. Even so, they were always well stocked and they had a convenient potable water pump and dish sink. There are no showers here but there are very roomy shower booths for self-provided solar shower bags, which we used a couple of times, and they worked out great. The other nice benefit to this campground is it's close distance to the Moraine Discovery Center and Bear lake access. We spoke with a super helpful ranger at the Discovery Center who gave us great tips for where to see wildlife. Every visit to Sheep Lakes provided us with either a moose or sheep sighting and we saw lots of Pika looking over the edge at Rock Cut.

Nice site, but not a level driveway. Higher in the back. Could have been graded leveler. Surprising considering all the other improvements to the campground.

The area and scenery were of course beautiful. The campsites however are small and difficult to back into even with a short 20-footer like ours. And no showers. We stunk pretty good by the time we left.

One of the most beautiful places in America; majestic mountains, diverse wildlife and stunning views. And among all of this you have commercial jets flying overhead all day long, every day. It isn’t because pilots are limited in their airspace. They purposely fly overhead RMNP so their passengers can look. Good for them. But, what a buzzkill.
