Overall the campground is beautiful but we chose site #72 and didn’t realize that walk-in meant probably 100 yards to get to our campsite on a little trail. Lesson learned but it took a lot of trips to carry all our camp supplies to the campsite. We were also disappointed that the bathroom nearest to us on the map was closed down. That should be taken off the map if it’s inoperable (the signs looked permanent). Needless to say it was quite a walk to the next bathroom. Finally our campsite was on a little hillside. The table want on a flat slope which made it difficult to cook on. He tent area was the only actual flat spot. Besides those issues the campsite was clean and well maintained. Rangers were helpful and the park was beautiful. Saw lots of elk.

Convenient spot to visit Rocky Mountain National Park. Campsites aren't too cramped and the facilities were clean. There's a bus stop at the campground entrance which helps a lot.

I got this site 2 weeks out, so beggars can't be choosers, but it is a pretty good site. GREAT view of Long's Peak. Parking spot is near picnic table and tent pad. 100 yards from bathroom. Only downside is that you could throw a baseball and hit 5 other campsites.

Great campground! We had a short wait to get in the first night. Took the shuttle up to Bear Lake early the next morning.

The campground is wonderful but I couldn’t get a reservation for two nights in a row so I had to move campsites. It was a hassle but being in RMNP during the elk rut is magical.

Campground location is great. Loops A,C, and D have nice bathroom facilities. Elk were often very close to the campground.

It cannot get better than this site. This might be the best site we've ever camped in. 360 degree mountain views. No close neighbors, close to water and the bathroom but not too close. A little shade for when it's hot. A herd of elk visited us. Absolute heaven.

It’s a little bit of a walk up the hill but you’re still conveniently located close to the bathroom, which was very clean with flushing toilets and a charging outlet. The campsite is beautiful.

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. |
