We occassionally tent camp during vacations when we can't find other lodging at a reasonable price. Estes Park in July presents a choice between a lousy hotel room for $120 and up or a campsite for about $30. We spent four nights in this campground and it adequately provided a quiet place to sleep while we spent our days in the national park, which is just over the fence from the campground. So the location was good and the scenery was nice. My biggest complaint was that the tent sites are way too close together. You're practically on top of the folks next to you! If the place had been busier while we were there or if it hadn't rained three of the four nights we were there, this would have been worse than it was. Other problems were that one of the restroom/shower room doors didn't lock and both my wife and I had someone walk in on us whlie we were in there, and one of the stalls went a day and half without paper products being restocked during our visit. One morning as we were eating breakfast at the picnic table at our site, we got to witness the saga of life and death as a badger from the national park came under the fence and was chasing and killing gophers. As a lover of wildlife, I'm not complaining about witnessing this, but if we'd had little ones, we might have found it a little gruesome. Overall, I won't say I wouldn't stay here again, but I'll certainly consider other options first.
