Improved sites with electricity is very beneficial. It would be nice if additional Comfort Stations were built especially in Loop B and near the Ranger Station

We enjoyed our stay at Rocky Mountain National Park. We were able to move from a nonelectric site to one with electric on our 2nd day which was great. The only negative experience was with the new bathrooms which were still not open. Seemed incredible since the campground was closed several years for renovations.

This was our first time at RMNP. We had a wonderful experience. The campground was beautiful and well maintained. Elk and deer walked right through nearby. The park rangers we interacted with were friendly and helpful. The Discovery Center around the corner was really cool too.
We did realize later that loop B, where we stayed, only has vault toilets, but loops C and D have bathrooms with running water! So we would take that into consideration next time!

Camping spot was excellent. Couldn’t sleep at night as the Elk rut was in full effect. An Elk bull was 10 feet from our tent all night long and was bugling the whole time. It was a very cool experience. Didn’t mind it at all that we didn’t get any sleep. Will be back next year.

Enjoyed this visit. Wish we could have stayed longer. Hard to reserve a site for more than 2-3 days because of site availability. Need more "FF" sites.

Excellent views of Longs Peak and the meadows below. Site was relatively spacious and had a bear box in a convenient location. The driveway isn’t the longest, so we had to unhook our teardrop camper and park a Gladiator separate. The comfort station includes a utility sink for dishes and is a very short walk away.

Elk bugling all night. Good but hard to sleep. No change needed.
Lots of aircraft noise, what can you NPS do about it?
Overcrowded Moraine Park Rd, cars parked along road elk viewing made for traffic congestion.

Stay Out of Hydroseeded Areas!Moraine Park Campground has recently been re-seeded after construction! This process, called hydroseeding, applies a combination of local native seed, mulch fiber, and water to disturbed areas, and looks similar to fine straw. Over the next couple of years, this seed will germinate and help restore the local native plant communities we know and love. Please protect these fragile areas by using designated paths and keeping kids and pets out of hydroseeded areas. |
