Rating: 9 7 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Nice campground. We stayed on the B loop, where the sites were reasonably-well spaced. Each site had paved space for 2 vehicles and a tent pad, picnic table and fire ring. The bathrooms on our loop were recently renovated - still only a toilet and sink, but much nicer than the bathrooms we found at Moraine Park and Timber Creek campgrounds. There was also a dishwashing sink at the bathrooms, which is always nice. Location on the east side of the park was great. - wanderfilledlife
Typical NPS campground. Beautiful area but no electrical. Very popular. Campground is located on the east side of Rocky Mtn National Park, near Estes Park, just past the entrance station. Asphalt road and pad, even pad but slightly sloped. Most pads seemed sloped or short or both. No Verizon connection. No dump station at the campground, but we were able to use the dump station at other campgrounds (e.g., Moraine CG, which is deeper inside the park but still accessible from the west side without going over the Trail Ridge Road). - OlderGoat

Rating: 8 10 9 9 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The is a typical National Park campground with no hookups and only basic bathrooms (no showers). The sites are well-maintained and reasonably well spaced apart. Bathrooms are nothing fancy, but provide a toilet and sink. This was a great location for September, as there was a large herd of elk in the nearby valley. Very large campground, but was still full on a Sunday night in September. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time! - wanderfilledlife
We secured a 4 night reservation back in April for this campground. Our first site was slated as being large enough for our 20' trailer......but after an hour of attempting to get into it we went to the ranger and were moved to another site for emergency purposes. It was perfect. We backed into it on the first try and enjoyed a wonderful stay complete with almost daily thunder storms and one day a major hail storm. But then the skies would clear and we would have a beautiful evening. Moraine is a well used, well loved campground. The evening programs are always a hit with us and there are many hikes to choose from. Most people love a wood burning campfire.....unfortunately as I've aged the smoke is affecting my throat and I wake up in the morning with headaches and sore throats. This is my only dilemma about camping in the national park. - arteacher
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Moraine Park Campground (NPS Campground) »We stayed 3 nights in space A55. Site needed a couple blocks on th front tires and had no hook ups. Generator hours were fine and we were also able to use our portable Solar during the day. Cell coverage was poor and there were no OTA channels. We did not hook up Dish, but I am sure it would have been fine (from our site). There were plenty of Elk all over and the Shuttle Bus got us to all of the hikes we wanted to accomplish. While no hookups, there was water available at the entrance and a 1 hole dump station as well (I imagine that could get busy on some days). - Davishouse2

Rating: 8 7 8 7 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Another fairly traditional NPS campground. You can't make a reservation, so get there early if you can to find a good spot. We arrived around lunch time on a Monday in September and had plenty of spots to choose from. The campground was at least mostly full by sundown. There are a good variety of sites all with a picnic table and a fire ring. We drove around until we found one that we liked. That is the best part of not having a reservation! Bathrooms are very basic, but do provide a toilet and sink. You can get firewood at the front of the campground. - wanderfilledlife
Recently ravaged by the pine bark beetles, this was once a very shady pine needle carpeted campground. Evidence if the dead trees remain on the slopes. Today it is a recovering sunny meadow with many small trees that are beginning to encroach on the interior roads and campsites. This is the only non-reservable RV accessible CG in RMNP during the summer and is often full by late afternoon. Many of the perimeter sites are tent only. All the sites in the loops have tent pads along with back-in or pull through parking for RVs. There is a 30' limit but only a few sites can accommodate that size. As all sites are 1st come, expect that a long site could be occupied by a tent. Summer nights are chilly with temps in the 40s. Days are generally warm and sunny, but gusty thunderstorms can kick up with little warning. The rest rooms are cold water, no showers. Each loop has at least one non-threaded freshwater spigot. - Trailbuddy
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Timber Creek Campground (NPS Campground) »We definitely miss the trees but this is a natural process and an example of how a forest regrows from a meadow. Elk frequent the campground in the mornings and evenings. Moose and bear can be seen nearby. The standard rate of $26 seems high for dry camping. There is a posted 30' RV length limit. Most sites are designed for tents or small camper vehicles. All sites are 1st come 1st serve and the campground fills often by mid-afternoon. 8900' elevation in Kauwanechee Valley often sees 40 degree overnight temps in July. Interior roads and parking are all asphalt. Tent pads at each site. - Trailbuddy

Rating: 8 9 7 9 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: No Hookups. H2O and Dump available in campground. Out site (B-34) was set up to where door opened up to the road. No OTA, no Dish (due to trees) and spotty AT&T cell service. Was able to harvest some solar for ~4 hours per day. Beautiful just to walk through all the camping loops and see the mountains. Plenty of deer walking around as well. - Davishouse2
Great setting in the park. Sites were small, ours was a pull-through with just enough space for our 21 foot trailer and truck. Clean and level. No services, but we're able to use our generator several hours per day. Views 180 degrees. Mostly tent campers and small rigs. - Katie's Mom
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Glacier Basin Campground (NPS Campground) »There are a large number of sites here but they are NOT designed for a big rig, nor do they advertise them as such. In fact, they state 35 foot maximum and I think that's pretty accurate. They have a couple of loops in the trees and a couple out in the open. They also have a tent area for groups. The park is all dry camping but they do have water and a dump station so it's not a problem to stay here with a rig that will fit. The park is right across the road from the transportation center and I would STRONGLY recommend taking advantage of the FREE transportation throughout the park, including into Estes Park. This is a great place to stay in to tour the Rocky Mountain National Park. They have ranger programs almost every night which are geared largely for the kids but are great. There ARE bears here so PROPER food storage is very important. If it rains, some sites can get pretty "wet". Be aware and position your rig appropriately. - 1998 Ultrasport

Nicely situated RV Park. Our site was riverside with lots of foot traffic at times. Level, gravel site with picnic table and concrete patio. Good hookups. Escort to site and help with positioning, much needed with the longer trailers and 5th wheels as interior roads s/w narrow. Community fire pits. Ice cream social and potluck. Many seasonal residents. Good areas for dog walking. - Motorhome girl
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Manor RV Park »We were pleased with this park. It is well located for both visits to Estes Park and trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. Spaces are a bit tight, but there is a nice river. We saw elk right in the park as others have noted. Try to get right on the river even if you pay a premium- you may have a lovely private area at the back of your trailer if it is not too long. This park looks like it is the best rv park in Estes Park. We would definitely stay here again. - Grants Girl

Rating: 6 8 10 10 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: A great park right along the Big Thompson River in Estes Park. The sites in the park are dirt and organized with most being back in. There is a small grass area with a picnic table next to each site. There are not many trees in the park, so satellite service will work in most sites. The park had reasonable bathrooms and showers along with a fishing pond and playground area by the pond. The wifi worked fine and they had cable service that worked great. The only downside for us at the park is that they don't accept mail for their visitors. Given the size of their office staff, we were disappointed that we could not get our mail and packages while we stayed here. - Gary Gilliam
The campsites are close together but large enough for us to park our 32' motor home, our toad and a family member's truck. It was very convenient to the park location for the event we were attending and also to Estes Park itself. Parking in town for our toad was great and allowed us to walk the town streets with ease. There's an excellent small restaurant less than a mile away with well-priced sandwiches, hamburgers and gyros. - snabo

Rating: 5 4 7 6 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Gravel lot with full hook up. No one ventured from their rigs (except an occasional dog walker). Just an adequate place to sleep between enjoying National Park (all camping booked) and Estes Park. No wifi, but cell coverage good. - JustDust6114
If you park in the bottom row and it rains you’ll be in mud. And when it rains it pours! The 35 foot slots are just that 35’. They’ll measure you if they think you are too long. Better to stay in the upper sites (lower numbered sites). The layout of the back ins allows for any neighbors to be too close. Too close to your outdoor area at the rear and on the side of your patio. Other than that the hosts were polite and friendly, the manager not so much. It’s too bad the city doesn’t even make an attempt to improve the drainage. - TRDAWG
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Estes Park Campground at Marys Lake »You don't stay in this park to get to resort experience. This is a slightly overpriced gravel lot with FHUs at a price that's robbery anywhere but in a place like Estes Park. We were tempted to splurge for some spots that were more scenic, but most of those were almost or more than double the rate here. Besides, we didn't come to Estes Park for the CG. We came for Rocky Mountain National Park. With that mentality, this place is just fine. It has some nice amenities like a heated pool, nice playground, cornhole and horseshoes pits, etc. The kids enjoyed riding their bikes as the speeds were pretty well regulated and it was nice to come back to the rig after a long day of hiking and take a long shower instead of a dry camping navy shower. My one gripe of the layout is where your driver's side neighbor's fire ring sits. It's too close to your site so the music, chatting, smoke, etc find their way into your rig. Any time we come back to visit RMNP, this is the first place I'm looking for vacancy. - Part-Time Paradise

Rating: 9 6 5 8 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: KOA right on the edge of Estes Park. Tight maneuvering even for our 27' motorhome but the sites were fairly level. Friendly staff helped us get parked and level. Cable tv was available with about 30 channels. decent reception even though we were out further in our loop. Sites are very close together. We weren't able to extend our awning all the way because of our neighbor's camper. Still overall it was a good site. - Rickycardo

View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Estes Park KOA »We stayed here for a week Jul 22nd to 30th. The spots are very very tight, water pressure was almost to low to take a shower. I was promised a 50 amp site but did not get one of the 2 only on the park. Vehicles park all over the place preventing cars from getting intyto spots. They put most of their efforts in the cabins and not the rv spots. This is the first bad review I have ever given a rv park in my 7 years on the road. I complained about the radios blairing after quiet hours and nothing was done about it. I will not stay here again and advise others to avoid it unless you are getting a cabin. - Weebeerving

Rating: 7 7 4 3 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Sometimes location is everything. This RV park is located just outside of Rocky Mountain NP with beautiful views of the mountains, and about 2 miles from Estes Park, plus there was a small head of elk that wandered through the meadow almost everyday. The roads and sites are gravel/dirt with sparse grass in between, mostly level, both back-in and pull-through, mostly open, FHU with 30 or 50 amp, and most have adequate space in between. The bathrooms and laundry in the middle are clean and modern but have very limited hours. There is a very large fenced dog park and lots of space for walking a large dog. The campground is unattractive due to the dust and dirt and sparse grass but everything functioned well and we had a comfortable stay. I would stay here again when visiting RMNP. - JoyceM
Pros: Friendly service, clean campground, really handy to both Estes Park & Rocky Mountain NP, very good dog park. Cons: very few sites with trees or any vegetation except for sparse grass. It seems that they grade the dirt roads frequently so there is often a lot of dust. They require a 50% deposit of your entire stay which is non-refundable. Also, check-in is at 1 pm. There is a $25 early check-in fee! Most of the sites have sufficient room in between except the one we were in. We could not have used the picnic table because our tiny lawn space was on a hill. There are both back-in & pull-through sites - relatively level. Looks like a nice pool that was closed for the season. Miniature golf. Roads are easy to navigate. We would stay here again for the great convenience! - storms

The restroom with shower was mouldy, the entrance to the shower I had to stoop myself, the water was running like drop by drop. Bad experience!
The site was wide, but you couldn't clearly see, where is the dirt site, where is the dirt-grass between the sites and where are the dirt-roads inside the campground. Dirt over dirt and our motorhome was as dirty after raining only one day.
NEVER AGAIN THIS CAMPGROUND! - Dietmar -

Rating: 4 7 9 9 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The $59 daily rate includes tax for a week's stay. We were really looking forward to this campground. The website certainly indicates a lovely place to stay along the river. First of all, the entrance off Route 66 is a steep one-lane drive, so be prepared. The campground is not very large and it is very congested, so when you get to the bottom of the drive, stop before you go any further. The people who work here are very nice. We were put in site 1, which backs up to the river. We are a 36' motorhome and our back end hung over the river when our front end was in place. Our neighboring travel trailer had to bring in his awning in order for our slide to open. We were lined up in a row with barely any space on either side. We had a cabin on the other side of us. If you enjoy space to spread out, do not come here. There were not many ratings for this park, probably because most of the sites are used by seasonal people. We did get a strong Verizon signal at this campground. Estes Park is a cute town but very congested also in the summer. We would not recommend or come back to this campground, mostly due to the incredibly tight site spacing. - dbcordello
We chose this park because of the reviews, which are accurate. It's small, crowded, and along a creek, which is only a plus is you are parked by it. The folks in the office are terrific and helpful. The place is pristine clean. Although the location, just outside the national park, is very convenient it is very difficult to get here. We came in from Loveland up 30 miles of winding steep two lane road. Traffic in Estes Park this Labor Day weekend was horrific. Finally, the directions to Paradise are difficult to follow and the street signs in town difficult to read. A tip - come all the way through Estes Park on route 36. Continue all the way out of town almost to the park entrance and go left on CO Route 66. Continue 1/4 mile and left into the driveway, where you will be met by a nice gentleman who will help you squeeze your RV into your space. - Doogiesmom

Very friendly staff and immaculately maintained bathroom, shower and the laundry room. Very reasonable to do laundry at $1.25 to wash and $1 to dry. Additional cost of $3.50 per day is charged for cable hook-up. Stream current is too fast to do any fishing but the sound is very soothing. Entry to and exit from the property was guided by the staff because of the extremely narrow road and the campsites. - gartail
