View was good. We had a little bit of a hike to get to the campsite, which was okay for 2 of the 3 in our party. We were camping with a senior and he didn't make the hike more than necessary. Bathroom was mostly clean.

Beautiful campground with relatively clean restrooms and plenty of available water. The solar shower stalls were very helpful!

Moraine Campground is fantastic and we loved the quiet and all the elk we could see from our campsite. However, it is so hard entering and exiting RMNP. There is no entrance line for campers, so anytime we wanted to leave and head to Estes Park, it was an extremely long wait to get back into RMNP. Additionally, while we appreciate that our stay in Moraine Campground gave us access to the Bear Lake corridor, the timed entry really makes it so much more frustrating than it needs to be-- we got up early and were ready to start a hike in the Bear Lake corridor by 8am, however there was no parking at any of the trailheads and the Park and Ride lot was completely full. We were told that the park and ride was full from all the people that arrived from outside of the park before the timed entry began and it was completely full by 5:30am. That is extremely frustrating that we were actually camping in the park but unable to find parking due to the timed entry loopholes. Granted it was Labor Day weekend so I'm sure busier than normal, but still incredibly disappointing. The rangers were super nice and patrolling the campground, campers were respectful-- truly the reason we only gave it 3 stars out of 5 is the logistics of how RMNP runs and the difficulty getting in and out, and finding parking, despite having a camping reservation.

Beautiful park with lots of great hikes and wildlife! Too many people in the more popular areas, but that’s the nature of the place now.

Winner winner! We were able to secure a spot when sites were released 2 weeks prior to visit. The site was very level and easy to get into and out of each day. Right across from bathrooms but stills very peaceful.

Great spot with close hiking access, great views, lots of stars, many elk, and very near to restrooms. With the fire bans be sure to bring a propane grill since you won’t be able to use the fire pit. We have Verizon, and we had great reception. We were even able to FaceTime from all over the campsite.

46 minutes in a traffic jam to get into the Park one day, slightly longer the next. The pollution created by that many idling engines must be having an effect. Plenty of room for other lanes, maybe an express lane with RFID through Rec.gov.

this was a great spot! one of the best on the A loop for sure — site was large, accessible, and had great mountain views and opportunities for shade. campsites were pretty close together but noise level wasn’t bad at all. being right next to moraine park was awesome too: SO MANY ELK in the mornings and evenings!!!!
