Pretty convenient campsite. The brief presentation by rangers at night were perfect for children to have fun and learn some facts about the nature. We highly suggest to leave very early if you plan to park at the Park & Ride lot and take the bus up the bear lake road. Parking spot are very limited and we didn’t find one when we get there at 8:30.

Campgrounds were very clean and accessible.
For a larger family or group I would recommend the more spacious camp sites.
Estes Park was only a few minutes away if we wanted to shop or eat at the local restaurants.

NPS campsites are the best! Shade is a bit hard to come by at Morraine Park in the summer, but easy access to bear lake makes it 100% worth it.

This is a beautiful campground! Very peaceful. The best sites, in my opinion, are in the D Loop and are #s 221 and 224 (if you can snag them). My spot, 216 (also in D Loop) was in a ‘heavier foot traffic area’ due to being by the restrooms and didn’t offer much shade (but was beautiful nonetheless). Happy camping!

We were lucky to snag a campsite last-minute due to the park reopening certain sites during the summer after a closure. We chose a walk-in site, and it was an uphill walk so it wasn’t easy to carry gear, but worth it to not be right on the road like most of the other sites. We could see other sites from our own due to the lack of trees. There was no shade so it got hot in early August. Strangely, there were lots of animal bones all over, almost like someone had gathered them there. The walk to the bathroom was not too far, and the flush toilets and running water were great to have. Unfortunately there was smoke in the air due to several wildfires, so the air quality wasn’t great. We did a walk around one of the lakes in the park but parking was nonexistent in the more popular areas. Probably wouldn’t camp in this particular campground again unless we could find a site with more shade and privacy, but it is great for those who don’t mind giving up privacy for the convenience of modern plumbing.

Restrooms were close to camping. Views were gorgeous. There could have been more info about parking in the listing. We are in a rooftop tent and knowing if it was an end or middle space would have been helpful. I looked at photos to ensure we would fit. But with poor cell service, it often took a good amount of time to load photos. The staff was very helpful. The park was great.
