Highlights

  • 8,160 ft glacial valley camp; elk graze Moraine Park meadow at dusk with 12,000-ft peaks as backdrop
  • Free RMNP shuttle to Bear Lake and all east-side trailheads — never move the rig
  • September elk rut: bull elk bugling across the meadow at dawn from your campsite

Planning Notes

RMNP requires a SEPARATE timed-entry vehicle permit (May–Oct) — book on Recreation.gov when you book the campsite. Max 40 ft. Glacier Basin CG (nearby, 35-ft max) is an alternative. From Austin: ~13 hrs via I-35 N to US-287 N.
