Great campsite! Probably one of the best in the park. Only about a 100ft walk from parking to the camp site.

Amazing site, you could hear the river at night. Lots of privacy, really spacious site with lots of shade.

Campsite D was very nice with the sound of the river and the view of the mountain.

We had Loop A, Site D. If you are willing to carry your stuff in, the walk-in sites are by far the nicest in the campground, and all have beautiful views. A and B have no shade/hammock trees. C, D and E are all a longer walk (C is closest, then D, then E) but have beautiful private settings close to the river with both sun/shade. The river makes great white noise at night - loud at sites C, D and E, and you can hear it at sites A and B but not as loud. The banks are steep, so it isn't easy to actually go down to the river itself. All sites in this campground have large tent pads, a fire ring with a grate and a picnic table that cannot be moved (this was annoying in our site, as for some reason they had put the fire ring right next to the picnic table. The five walk-in sites have 3 shared bear boxes by the assigned parking spots, then each has its own bear box at the site. Site D also had an additional older huge bear box, which was super helpful, as this campground advises that you not leave any food in your car (when we checked in, they showed us pics of a car at that campground that had been broken into by a bear). The bathrooms must have been recently redone, as they were extremely clean/nice; they have flush toilets but no showers. There is a sink at the bathroom building for doing a final rinse on your dishes, and the water spigot for filling your water is by the parking. Most evenings there is someone selling firewood, bags of ice and ice cream treats for two hours. A couple evenings there were elk walking through the trail to the campsites. The location of this campground close to the Fall River entrance is convenient for running into Estes Park for groceries/phone service; just beware the backups (we arrived after 3 on a Sunday and probably had to wait for close to an hour to get in - it wasn't like that the rest of the week).

We stayed at three campgrounds in three days in September. Aspenglen was by far our favorite campground. The bathrooms are nicer and the campground has more trees and more quiet. We stayed in a walk-in tent site by the river and it was beautiful. They have a rugged wagon you can use to cart your things to the campsite since it is a few minute walk from the parking lot. The parking area for the walk-in sites is tight. We ended up sleeping in our vehicle and it was quiet. I would recommend staying here!
