Had a great time. The camp site was next to a trail head. The trail, only 7 miles, had a river, lake, mountains, and valley. This was an amazing spot.

Our family had an amazing time at Rocky Mountain National Park! Moraine Park Campground was a beautiful, peaceful place to stay and the perfect home base for exploring the park. Driving Trail Ridge Road was unforgettable, with breathtaking views around every turn. The hike to Emerald Lake was a highlight of our trip—scenic, family-friendly, and absolutely worth it. Just remember to get an early start or you’ll be battling big crowds!
We made wonderful memories together on this trip and can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful and spacious campsites. Conveniently located. Shuttles work well. Close to town. Like the Comfort Station concept. Plentiful wildlife. Downsides: sparse toilets and water stations. Reservations are extremely tough. Pay attention to Park and Bear Lake Road entry times, even if staying within the Park.

This was my first solo camping experience, and it's a memory I'll cherish for a long time. The campground was well maintained, peaceful, and a wonderful place to stay. One of the biggest advantages is that your reservation includes timed entry access to Bear Lake Road, which made exploring the park much more convenient.

We reserved site D237 6 months in advance. We love Loop D but you can't reserve most of the D sites until 2 weeks before, so that is very difficult when you are trying to plan a trip for a group of 4 girlfriends. The site was nice but the bear box (food storage locker) is in an odd spot--next to the tent but farther away from the picnic table. We recommend either moving the box nearer to the table, or swapping the location of the tent pad and the picnic table. We never saw the logic of why the bear box was so far from the table.
The bathroom was cleaned every other day and was generally clean. Unfortunately, other campers put trash in the bathroom one day and so it stayed there until the next cleaning. Also, other campers took the tape off the water pump that was out of service and tried to use it, creating a puddle that could have invited unwanted pests or critters. It is hard to believe that people who camp would do such things, but maybe it was kiddos.

Solar shower area came in handy. Campsite was quiet and very nice. Verizon cell phone service was good enough to stream. Bus service was ideal.

Nice campground and comfort station although our site had no electricity. Nice view of the mountains within the campground.

Morraine was super beautiful... at night we would just walk around the campground "window shopping" at all the tents and looking at the views.

Great experience camping here. Campsites are a bit close and no showers, but restroom and sink facilities are awesome. Very quiet at night and campsite seemed to go to bed early. The bear lockers are big and can fit your ice chests and food and I really appreciated that conveneince, since our campsite was a bit of a walk-up(site 104). There are solar showers but you need your own water, so DEF RECOMMEND bringing your own solar shower bag so you can shower on site. Take time to go down to Bear Lake area and walk a trail by the river…so beautiful. Lots of sightseeing further inside the park—we saw lots of elk, mule deer a marmot(in the tundra), hummingbirds, and even a beaver. Hoping to catch a big horn sheep next time.
