The park is beautiful. Unfortunately for me I wasn’t aware that dogs weren’t allowed to be brought into nature so I couldn’t really do too many trails.

As always the Park and the campground were outstanding but what stood out to me on this trip was the employee who checked me in around 1:00 on Sunday 6/21. Her name was Theresa but I didn’t get a last name. When I discovered that my reserved spot couldn’t handle a tent my size she was patient, professional, and cheerful in finding an alternative, all while checking in other campers and tending to other duties. She was excellent and should be commended. She set the tone for yet another great trip to RMNP!

The campsite was quiet, easily accessible, and well maintained. Staying overnight at the park made it convenient to hike and drive the scenic route along Trail Ridge Road.

We stayed at Moraine Park Campground in Rocky Mountain National Park in mid-June. Moraine Park Campground The reservation had to be made back in December, and even then availability was very limited, so early booking is essential.
The campground is located directly on Bear Lake Road, and access to Bear Lake requires a timed-entry pass. Even if you stay inside this corridor, the pass is still required to reach the Bear Lake area.
The site is clean and well organized, with paved roads and spaced-out campsites. Our spot had a great valley view, but location choice is very important.
In June, daytime temperatures were around +73.4 °F, while at night it dropped to about +37.4 °F. We used a heater inside the tent, which was necessary.
There are no proper showers in the campground. Instead, there are basic facilities where you would need to bring and heat your own water, which is not very comfortable. Because of this, we went to town and used a laundromat facility where we found a proper warm shower, which worked much better.
On the fourth day we experienced extreme wind. Our tent and canopy were badly damaged, and several nearby tents were destroyed. RV campers were much more protected. We had to leave one day early and spend part of the night in the car, later paying for an expensive hotel in Estes Park due to full availability everywhere.
We also drove Trail Ridge Road, a high-altitude scenic drive with incredible views, but very cold and windy conditions — warm clothing is essential.
Overall: a beautiful but demanding campground where weather, altitude, and preparation are critical.

The toilet facilities at the campground need better maintenance! They need cleaning more frequently. I have been to many other NP and State Parks campgrounds, and those at RMNP were the worst.

Really great camp ground. We been coming here since the 80's. Now with electric it is even better for us and our fridge. The camp ground and facilities were clean and there were new water sources, Only thing they had not caught up with was advertising their great evening ranger talks at Moraine campgrounds. We did not even know they were having them, just happened to wander by.

Campground is really nice, very comfortable and well spread out spaces. Only downside to this site is there is a walking path to the restroom but it walks straight through the next campsite so it isn't usable when that site is occupied.
