Moraine Park Campground

My Husband and I stayed here in site: D156
Sun Sep 16 - Tue Sep 18 2018
This is a very large campground with some amazing views and little campgrounds tucked everywhere. I wasn't sure what to expect since we booked last minute and only had 5 spots to choose from. We stayed in D loop where there are no generators allowed. The spots on the inside loop can be close to each other and in some it seems that you have to walk through other sites to get back and forth which can be awkward. The only negatives was the rude ice/firewood lady and a week before we left we got a call that the bathroom by our site was closed for the season. We had to walk quite a ways to the next one in loop A with everyone else. Will stay here again in loop D!

Drink lots of water here! If you are driving around RMNP during the day it's very easy to get altitude sickness so stay hydrated.

Pick your site carefully. Some have great views... some not.

Site 65. One of the best places I have ever camped - the staff is friendly from the get go, the campground is easy to navigate, and with jaw-dropping views of Longs Peak...it's perfect. We were visited by a dozen elk and their calves both nights, listened to coyotes yipping in the distance, and watched shooting stars till we couldn't keep our eyes open any longer. I absolutely love RMNP, and moraine park is no exception to that love.

Use of the bear boxes is required.

Camped in 87, walk in. Was about the shortest walk of the ones near us. 88 was better, bigger area under canopy. One behind 87 offered more privacy, but longer walk and probably didn't have the views. Was a bit exposed to hot sun with minimal shade, but all the rocks and amazing views of Longs and Twin Sisters in the sunsets made it one of the best campsites, and frankly campgrounds we've stayed in. Short walk to nice bathroom with sinks for washing dishes, and flushable toliets and even a family bathroom. Didn't try solar showers but they looked interesting. Just a 15 minute drive or less to Bear Lake. Would love to come back.
