Excellent site for large groups. We really enjoyed it.

@JamesonCEE4C1F · Camped on Jul 23, 2025 at Campsite #C94

C-94 is a great campsite, wonderful views, close to water. Has shared driveway with 95 that makes daily access tricky

@MatthewK865533 · Camped on Jul 22, 2025 at Campsite #C73

A lovely campsite with stunning views! Electric and running water in the bathrooms was a nice ammenity compared to many mountain sites.

@AbigailM6F2EE8 · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #B58

Clean, quiet, family friendly campground. The rangers were easy to find and friendly. Bathrooms are close to almost all sites and clean/well maintained. Unbeatable access to some of the most popular attractions in RMNP.

@McKennaB5BB88D · Camped on Jul 19, 2025 at Campsite #A22

Awesome campground! Love the "availability alert" feature that tells you when a campsite opens up. We've found we like the inner-loop sites in A and B loop for the shade and good trees to hammock in. Bathrooms are always super clean. Very convenient to have the park and ride right across the road - the shuttle comes through easily every 5-10 minutes to take you up Bear Lake Rd.

@AndrewT9982192 · Camped on Jul 19, 2025 at Campsite #C99

Nice, larger site elevated above some of the others. The site itself is fairly sloped but the tent pad was large and very level. Great views throughout the loop. Bathrooms were clean and functional. Friendly staff.

@TarrynTE7DB5BC · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #B57

Awesome spot near mountain in glacier basin and close to bathrooms

@Christine45219 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025

Glacier Basin at Rocky Mountain National Park is a great campground. The views from the campground are amazing! The rangers and campground hosts are very helpful and informative. There are hiking trails right from the campground and also has an easy walk to the park n ride to take the shuttle to great places too. The bathrooms are nice and clean too.

@BhupeshB64DC9D · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #D133

charming and beautiful place.

@MichaelQ190574 · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #C104

Nice campground. A bit annoying having the construction (modifying picnic tables) ongoing throughout our stay. Additionally, my wife hurt her foot going to the restroom near the c100s due to a small stump on the path. Grinding that down would be a good idea.

@RachelH3398655 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #A21

A beautiful campground. It was 2/3 full and still quiet and enjoyable. Bathrooms were clean. Bear boxes were a nice size. Cant wait to go back for a longer stay.

@MarkS8760847 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #A10

We stayed at glacier basin campground, we hiked the lake loop and up to Lake Chasm, it was all amazing!

@KarenT7749653 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #A29

Campground was clean and the views were beautiful.

@EllieP7C11F864 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #B47

The campground was very nice and quiet hours were also nice! We gad a great spot with shade, especially by the picnic table. Watch out for big black bugs at night though!

@MARYR4634519 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #C83

The NOS staff and volunteers in Rocky Mt National Park were all so helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you NPS!

@RifatBin0B83BB · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #C117

This campsite had enough space and had a great view of the surrounding mountains. Bear lake is just 10 minutes drive from here. Also the washroom were near and clean enough. No electricity.

@YessicaR814055 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #C114

Los encargados de el parque son muy rudos yo no hablo muy bien ingls y el seor que estaba cuando llegue a hacer check in se comport bastante grosero. Yo llevaba mi reservacin impresa por lo mismo porque yo no hablo muy bien ingls y cuando llegue a hacer Check in se la di y fue muy grosero.

@KELLYO7C6B2F9C · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #C90

Gorgeous location. Close to trails and the bathrooms.

@LandonGF0CC7CF · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #C94

The parking for spot C094 shares a pull out with the neighbor spot. First night, the neighbors pulled over as much as possible and I was able to pull forward out. Next group did not, so I had to back up a hill into the street which was challenging with a car. Truck would have had no problem. Every other site at the camp seemed to have an individual parking area. Other than that great site

@JenniferS83796 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #B42

Thin pines shade this spot a little. Tricky to pull into, found it easiest to back in due to the sharp curve. You're really in the middle of things here and close to other sites - and bathrooms, for better or worse! The hand dryers in the bathroom are the "vortex" kind and are super loud when used at night. We used a white noise machine to ensure we got some sleep. No significant wildlife during our visit, just a few chipmunks/ground squirrels. The tent pad was well-sloped, you definitely need to bring a mallet to hammer in your stakes since some of the ground was too compacted/rocky.

@JeffreyH206902 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #B50

The sites are a little to close together for me. Otherwise a very good location.

@ValerieM103742 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #D141

Ice and fire wood were a bit pricey and only available for a few hours each evening. Bring a hammer or something to pound your tent stakes in to the ground.

@BrianW1026295 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #A24

So beautiful and comfortable

@AnnetteT966291 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #C79

We were at campsite C079. The tent pad had enough room for our 9'x10' footprint tent, but if you wanted to pitch 2, they would need to be smallish tents to fit. Our last morning we had deer walking right by the site. We were located about 100' from a restroom which also had an outdoor cold water sink. The ladies room had an electric outlet. I like this campground in particular because of it's walkability to the shuttle bus lot where you can take the Bear Lake shuttle or the Moraine shuttle to access many trails. The view from the open meadow at the entrance is spectacular. Another fun hike from the C loop is the trail directly to Sprague Lake. The campsite was great for birdwatchers from low elevations, as Mountain Chickadee seemed to be everywhere!

@JenniWC35E1203 · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #D149

Pro: Beautiful Con: our campsite was crazy windy and even with a lot of improvised tie-out re-enforcement we were worried about our cabin tent breaking down. Would have been nice to know how exposed the site is and how high the winds are.

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.

@Wondering - Oregon

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
