Probably our favorite of the Rocky Mountain National Park Campgrounds that we visited. Our site was fabulous, had tremendous views and even had wildlife visiting during our stay.
@MichaelW725874 · Camped on Sep 6, 2025 at Campsite #B38
My favorite campground in RMNP.
@CathyG8730712 · Camped on Sep 5, 2025 at Campsite #C86
We stayed in C86 and had a great time! Ignore the pictures shown, little trees are growing up all around giving good shelter to the tent pad. Bear locker and campfire ring/picnic table location is great and really convenient access to both bathrooms and water. Great views of the mountains & close access to trail system along with park & ride shuttle. We'll be back!
@TravisS7511916 · Camped on Sep 4, 2025 at Campsite #B44
It's a nice spot but the straight line to the bathrooms is through neighboring campsites. This site is also in the woods so good for shade but you don't have the vista view of the mountains.
@EllieBADAEF966 · Camped on Sep 4, 2025 at Campsite #A26
Beautiful campground with amazing views!The only thing is it would be nice if each individual campsite had its own bear box.Currently you need to locate the nearest bear box to store items and is not all the convenient.

This particular spot is on the far back end of the campground, up against the trees. There were deer grazing near my tent all day and night - they must've come within a few feet of my tent because I could hear them breathing and chewing :). There is no designated bear locker for this site but I was able to share with my neighbors without a problem

Rangers had a lot of information about the area. Bathrooms were very clean and the site well managed

Need a bear box.

Our trip was two people tent camping out of a small SUV. We have experience tent camping and stayed at two different sites in the Glacier Basin campground. A Loop (Site A006) the first night had less separation from adjacent sites. C Loop (Site C087) felt more separated, with plenty of small pine trees between adjacent sites. Both sites had easy access to campground amenities (restrooms and potable water). Firewood was also available for sale at the campground in the evening. Access was easy and park employees as the campground were regularly around to answer questions and offer advice. The campground was clean, easy to access and get around.

Pleasant campground, beautiful views, excellent access to hiking trails, clean restroom facilities. Very quiet during our stay.
@nitintB26F75B1 · Camped on Sep 1, 2025 at Campsite #C93
Clean restrooms and Friendly staff who help and provided in hand info about the surroundings.
@SandraG9EC5191 · Camped on Aug 31, 2025 at Campsite #B38
Nice campground; very handy to have potable water hydrant close to same location as dump station so that fresh water could be filled at the same time.Awesome views of the mountains!
@SueM2034977 · Camped on Aug 30, 2025 at Campsite #C77
We stayed 4 nights at site 77. It is surrounded by small pines and gives a little privacy. You do share a bear box but it is plenty big. Bathrooms were cleaned often. No showers but we planned for that. Ice and firewood available every evening. Staff was so kind and helpful.
@JeremyV01A79C6 · Camped on Aug 28, 2025 at Campsite #A28
Great campground close to a very well run shuttle service
@LaurenF3587749 · Camped on Aug 28, 2025 at Campsite #D132
Great location. Great sites. Cleanliness was superb.
@PaulH7895659 · Camped on Aug 28, 2025 at Campsite #B54
Our stay at Glacier Basin Campground at RMNP was good! Rangers and Volunteers were a visible presence - enough so to keep things feeling safe and under control.
@PhilippF83AADE · Camped on Aug 27, 2025 at Campsite #B55
easy,clean and absolutely beautiful!
@KarenS4720852 · Camped on Aug 27, 2025 at Campsite #C98
Great campground. Restrooms really clean. Employees helpful.Our site #98 didn't have a bear box - most other sites did. And the bathroom light would come on during the night if someone used the bathroom.
@yvonnew590E11E · Camped on Aug 26, 2025 at Campsite #A2
Always a great experience though this time we couldnt get a preferred site. The park was clean and the staff always friendly.
@DianeA7725483 · Camped on Aug 25, 2025 at Campsite #D121
Camping at Glacier Basin campground was awesome- superb views of the mountains and the elk herds nearby!Driving up Old Fall River Road was exciting -glad we have a 4 wheel drive vehicle! The views (and the sudden thunder and lightning storms) were amazing!
@CraigS2150196 · Camped on Aug 22, 2025 at Campsite #A23
Nice campsite, clean bathrooms, had some very loud inconsiderate neighbors that I wish the ranger had told to be quiet.
@SigmarL1F90036 · Camped on Aug 20, 2025 at Campsite #C119
Spacious campground with a nice view of the mountains surrounding the glacier basin. Easy access to Bear Lake, etc.
@jameswCB575467 · Camped on Aug 20, 2025 at Campsite #D129
Like most of the national parks where weve been able to snag a campground. This one was fabulous. You have beautiful views of longs peak, and multiple other lower peaks as well as nearby glaciers. Its on Bear Lake Rd., which is a covered place to have a reservation to drive. Its right across the street from the shuttle if you wanna take that all the way up to Bear Lake to do some nice hiking. Its a little less than a mile away to Sprague Lake and there is a connecting trail as well. The Rangers and camp hosts were friendly and informative. There are many sites that are open where a Starlink would work well and there are several other sites where there are many trees. Theres also a beautiful group camp area if that is your need.
@DanielleM84170 · Camped on Aug 19, 2025 at Campsite #A8
It was great. Neighbors friendly and obeyed camp rules. Lots of options for different types of camping. Bathrooms flush and running water. Clean bathrooms - saw them cleaned daily. Had wildlife walk thru. Overall, great!
@CarolynN602786 · Camped on Aug 18, 2025 at Campsite #D133
We really enjoyed our time here. The facilities were great and we appreciated the easy access to the Park and Ride lot for park shuttle service. We also enjoyed being able to walk to Sprague Lake. The only reason I did not give 5 Stars is because D-loop sites have NO shade.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
