We got a mojar rain and hail storm in the late afternoon but didn’t detour our fun, still was able to have a camp fire afterwards, I love camping in Moraine it is always so much fun, and get to see lots of wildlife walking right through the camp sites

One of the best spots we’ve stayed! Incredible views of longs peak and mountains, only caution is it’s a 200ft walk to your vehicle.

$30 (going up to $35/night for pit toilets with no electricity in them??!! You have to juggle a lantern or flashlight at night while you're trying to go, and there are no hooks or counters to put your lantern on when you're in there. I pity the moms who were trying to take their children in there! Not even a washing station for your hands outside the outhouse.
There are literally NO garbage cans in the camp area, except at the entrance to the campground. This is unacceptable! There is such a bear issue, and garbage needs to be put away securely at night, they should have garbage cans much more available.
The campsite literature says not to do your dishes at camp, use only a proper disposal recepticle for your dish-water, but NONE IS PROVIDED!! The campground on the West side at least has a sink available to wash at.
The campground sign said it was full, and in making reservations we could only find a couple sites open for one night, but when we were there EASILY half of the campground was vacant. If people aren't showing up for their reservations, or are cancelling, they really should open those sites up for first-come-first serve to make use of them. It was very poorly utilized facility, and obivously the 'reservation' system is not working. People are being turned away (told the campground is full) when half of it is vacant. Uncool, US gov!

Very good camping site. Easy access. Good clean bathrooms. It would be better if families with children are concentrated on certain loops. Children are wonderful but very noisy. But people respected 10pm quiet rule. We saw a moose running in between the tents. Heavy storm in the afternoon but water was diverted away from tent pad.

Great campground inside the national park, close to trails and Estes Park. Bathrooms and amenities were nice, campsite came with bear box, picnic table, and fire pit with grill. The shuttle to and from Bear Lake is very convenient and runs on time. Overall great campground with views of RMNP all around.
