Beware of sites 172, 180 and 149 which should be labeled as tent or RV. A trailer would have issues with getting into the spots and plugging into the electrical socket.

We enjoyed a newly reopened Morraine Park campground. Double-check your campsite location reservation before coming. You should plan as far into the future as possible, but also keep checking to see if spots open up. Parking at Bear Lake was available before 6:30 AM on a Friday. Parking at Alpine Visitor Center was chaotic but plenty to see and do.

Beautiful despite the crowds! We were able to make it up to the Bear Lake Parking lot in the afternoon and found parking. The busses are great as well.

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. |

Be Bear Aware when camping. Store all food and scented (soaps/lotions/toothpaste/lip balm – anything with a scent) items inside Food Storage Boxes provided at each campsite. RMNP has a zero tolerance policy for food storage violations. Do your part to help protect wildlife. |
