Tucked away in a quiet spot with lots of mature trees, this was one of the best campgrounds where we have stayed. The camp hosts were especially welcoming, friendly and helpful. There is a small camp store on site for any camp needs you may have. Each site has a bear safe storage which we found very convenient. There are plenty of indoor restrooms, with showers, well maintained and extremely clean. We appreciated the dish washing stations which made clean up so much easier. We were pleasantly surprised to have no mosquitoes. We will definitely be camping here again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Camp Like a Champ at East Portal! Estes Park Campground at East Portal is where mountain magic meets "wow, I really can survive without cell service!" Nestled right at the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park, it’s the perfect combo of peaceful seclusion and chipmunks judging your s’mores technique. The campsites are shady, spacious, and come with built-in views that make you question why you ever paid for cable. Bonus points for the clean bathrooms (camping luxury!) and trailheads so close you could hike in your pajamas—though, you know, maybe don’t. If you're lucky, you’ll fall asleep to the hoot of an owl and wake up to elk casually strolling by like they own the place (because they kind of do). Pro tip: bring layers, a good camp chair, and your "wow" face—you’ll be using it a lot.

What a gem of a campground! We absolutely loved it here. It's quiet and comfortable, great bathrooms, close to town and the park, great views, hiking trails right there, and super nice people working there. Would definitely stay there again.

We’ve stayed here several times. Great campground for smaller campers and tenters! Friendly staff and nice restrooms with showers. Can hike right up to Sprague Lake in RMNP. Also nice and close to Estes Park.
