All of my reservation information and the information online states checkin and checkout is 2 PM. The local staff insisted it was 11 AM and kicked us out of the site promptly at 11 AM, and very rude and aggressively. There seems to be a disconnect on the information provided by recreaction.gov and the local staff.

We stayed for 3 nights and only ever saw 1 of the other 3 sites occupied for 1night at a time. It practically felt like we had the place to ourselves! (The ranger staff told us some people come in only for a few hours at night to sleep.) The entry for the campsite is literally to the left of the ranger station, almost even before it (we drove up and back before finding it). The staff was very friendly and helpful! Just 2 things to note: there is no firewood available on site, and only space for one tent on the camping pad (you might be able to get away with 2 one person tents). The ranger staff directed us up the road (once you get down to the traffic circle) to a market near the Aspen airport that sells boxes of firewood, and actually a number of healthy foods. It was wonderful to have the parking permit included for an extra $10 in the camping reservation, which allowed us easy access to the Maroon Bells trailhead. Would highly recommend the spot if you're able to book it!

Beautiful campground and no RV or trailer spots, which is great because they are some of the loudest people on Earth with their gas generators. A great way to do Maroon Bells, just a heads up, there's no water available, so make sure to bring your own.

Clean, quiet campground. Close to Maroon Creek. We’ll kept and great Bear boxes.

Hiking that area was one of the most beautiful places I've been.
