About

Aspenglen Campground is situated on the east side of Rocky Mountain National Park, just 0.2 miles west of the Fall River Entrance on U.S. Highway 34. The campground features 52 campsites nestled within a pleasant mix of Douglas fir, Lodgepole pine, Ponderosa pine, and occasional Engelmann spruce, offering equal amounts of sun and shade. Open meadows filled with grasses, shrubs, and seasonal wildflowers add to the natural setting. During the summer season, which typically runs from late May through late September, all campsites are available by reservation only through Recreation.gov. Reservations can be made up to 6 months in advance on a rolling window, with some sites available 2 weeks or 1 week prior to arrival. Each campsite accommodates up to 8 people, one camping unit (tent, RV, or trailer), plus one additional tent, and two vehicles. The campground can accommodate RVs and trailers up to 30 feet, though there is no dump station on-site. Generators are permitted only in Loop C during specific hours. The campground's location provides excellent access to Rocky Mountain National Park's extensive trail system, with over 350 miles of hiking trails ranging from flat lakeside strolls to steep mountain climbs. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with frequent sightings of mule deer, Rocky Mountain elk, bighorn sheep, black bear, coyote, and moose. The nearby town of Estes Park offers additional amenities including dining, shopping, and recreational activities.

Directions

From Estes Park, drive west on U.S. Highway 34 toward the Fall River Entrance. The campground entrance is approximately 0.2 miles past the entrance station on the left side of the road.
