Had a great time over 2 days camping and seeing the park. The upside is that the park is not very crowded in late April / early May - the downside is that there are limited campgrounds and a number of the roads are closed over the winter period. But it was great to have Elk and Mule deer wandering through the campground !!

This park has it "together", but that said-- one has to select a site very carefully. And, toilet facilities are not created equally in this park. Some loops have flushing toilets while others have outhouses.

Our campsite was just down the hill from a beautiful vista of the continental divide! We put our camp chairs up there and hung out a lot..saw Mule Deer and Elk roaming daily. Our campsite neighbors were very friendly..we enjoyed chatting with them. It was so peaceful there and we will definitely camp there again after the repairs and updates are completed! Even though there were no showers and the restrooms were a bit of a hike, we loved being so close to the Elk Herds during the Rut!

Campsite was great! Camped with our small child (3 years old) and it was just a little walk from the parking space to the campsite. Used the bear box. Campfire ring and grate was good to have! Nice and shaded and we were able to hang our hammocks on the trees. Rangers were great at communicating the need to lock up food and other questions. Fire wood was available for sale in the evenings. The vault toilet/bathroom was just a little walk down the hill. We visited in August of 2022 and it was beautiful. We will be back.

Everything about this campsite was amazing. Forever will we remember the elk herding through our campground, practically through our campsite and t sound of the males bugling through the night. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming. The environment was ideal and breath-taking. Can't wait to return.
