Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights1 site open for every nightA forested campground near hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Moraine Park Campground sits at about 8,160 feet on the north side of Moraine Park, just inside Rocky Mountain National Park's Beaver Meadows entrance and a short drive from Estes Park on Highway 36. The campground's open meadows and stands of Douglas fir, lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine and occasional Engelmann spruce give you partial shade and easy access to the park's montane and alpine environments; from here you can reach hundreds of miles of trails that include lake walks (Bear Lake, Cub Lake), waterfall routes (Alberta, Ouzel) and longer summit approaches, plus scenic drives such as Trail Ridge Road and Old Fall River Road.

















Length limits vary by campsite.
Limited electric sites.
Dump station on site.

“I did not expect washrooms to be that clean. I was very happy to see clean washrooms. I didnt face any problems. Checkin was easy. Everything was good. I really enjoyed my camping.”
“Best views, would always love to camp at moraine campground, closer to Estes park for quick showers, dining , shopping etc. Loop C has good views of mountains and flush toilets. Loop B also has sites with beautiful views, but needs flush toilets. ”
“Camp grounds were clean and spacious. This site was close to the flush toilets,as well as the meadow thar the elk like to frolic in! The only negative was that the site itself is on a hill, and we had to trek back and forth quite a bit to unload/load the car.”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (111,334 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
