Good spot

@VickiM1D28B5A1 · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #B40

I really liked my day here. The views were stunning, elk were in the meadow as we entered, water was available.Sites were spacious enough, staff was available and friendly but not imposing. The shuttle bus made it so I never had to drive anywhere and it was convenient to get to the trails I wanted. The bus driver even had helpful trail information. There was a fellow who came by in the afternoon/evening to sell firewood, sunscreen, and a few other camp related type items for a few hours-not quite a store, but enough helpful items for things you might have forgotten. And neighbors were friendly. A fabulous camping experience.

Loved our stay! The campground and the bathrooms were clean. Plenty of bear lockers. Youre close to your neighbors, but depending where youre at, you still feel like you have privacy. We will definitely be back!

@DavidaM73FC7D2 · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #B57

I loved this site. Close to the bathrooms and plenty of trees and nature around.

@LindaN4356506 · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #C70

Trails all around Bear Lake are excellent and love hiking out of campsite along east/west Glacier trail to Bear Lake area.

@KelliH0495EBD4 · Camped on Jun 1, 2025 at Campsite #A9

The campground was very clean and the bathrooms were very clean as well. I really enjoyed how close we were to the shuttle bus which made it easier to get to the popular trailheads

@MelissaB751650 · Camped on Jun 1, 2025 at Campsite #A18

Beautiful national park campsite. Bathroom is close. There is an electrical outlet in the bathroom if you just absolutely need a quick little bit of electricity. The outdoor shower setup in loop D looked nice, but it was cold and rainy during our stay, so we skipped it. The tent pad would just barely fit my normal size 4 person tent and you have to share a bear box with about 5 other campsites. Thats about the only cons.

@NormK09F620E05 · Camped on May 31, 2025 at Campsite #B49

The food box that was available for us to use next to our campsite had one side totally covered up by a growing pine tree. It really was quite ridiculous as it had probably been growing there for several years and encroaching on the door on that side.

@JeanRE93042000 · Camped on May 30, 2025

My husband and I really enjoyed being able to hike directly from the campsite to Sprague Lake, a lovely, wooded trail, just a little over a mile one way. Amazing camping as well, peaceful, lots of privacy.

@DanT5496337 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #C90

Can't beat the views from this campground, the location and the layout of the entire place!

@WalkerB57FCDA9 · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #B35

Great shaded spot and close to water and very clean bathrooms.

@KaylaH3618243 · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #A30

Loved this campground! Only about 15 minutes from park entrance to the campground, and 10 minutes from Bear Lake driving. The campground had flush toilets and clean bathrooms with soap and an outlet, drinking water, and firewood for sale. The site is beautiful and right on the edge of the forest, much more secluded than other sites. The only issue with the site is that right next to it is a service road and a few big trucks were passing through beginning very early morning. I would recommend the D loop because I felt like that was a better view, but obviously it's all beautiful! This site was a perfect distance away from the nearest community bear box, and they were large enough to easily store all of our food/toiletries. Hope this helps, and happy camping!

@SierraS8392901 · Camped on May 28, 2025 at Campsite #D143

This was a great campground with nice bathrooms. Beautiful views of the mountains all around you, and a sunset if you are lucky!! I love this campground because it automatically gets you into the bear lake area without needing timed entry.

@AlexandraA4839 · Camped on May 27, 2025 at Campsite #A25

Great campsite with great rangers!

@NathanS1860059 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #B54

Wonderful campground! Clean facilities, spacious spots. Only regret is that we couldnt stay longer!

@DavidM1864120 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #B48

Excellent campsite with many trees for shading. Only about a one mile hike to Sprague Lake, which I would definitely recommend making. Near the shuttle pick-up to Bear Lake Road, which allowed easy access to the lake hikes in the higher elevations. The oversized tent area was large enough to accommodate our 10X14 sf tent. Bear proof storage was plentiful and accessible.

@BeverlyR235948 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #C120

We stayed in Glacier Basin Campground. Site 120 has an amazing open view We hike to Bear Lake , talberta falls and the Beirstadt lake We got to see the twin mooses and lots of Wlk and big horn sheep. What a beautiful park !!

@TomS3186246 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #A28

Excellent campsite with great accommodations. My son and I had a great time.

@ROBM7319577 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #A12

Great campground

@AngelaH869D51B · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #D146

The campground was clean, open, and in a beautiful location.

@KrisD86C5E38BB · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #C94

Really awesome campground, we wish we could have spent a few more nights here before the season ended. We stayed in C94 and felt like we had a lot of privacy and great views.

@KarenL1374189 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #C119

Everything We Hoped For!We loved this campground for the stunning views, super clean bathrooms, and the easy access to hiking in RMNP. So many trails to choose from, either directly from the campground, or across the Bear Lake Road to the Park N Ride. Can't say enough about the views, especially if your site is in the open center area like ours was at C119. There are lots of sites with shade as well. Sites are pretty close together but since we did not take our pups (they can't go on the park trails) we didn't mind. Very difficult to snag a reservation but daily persistence paid off and we got one night which was the last night of their season. So glad we did. Will try again for next year!

Great first stop of a week-long camping trip.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@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
