Estes Park Campground at Mary's Lake

The main thing is that this site is so convenient to wonderful views, trails, lakes and to grocery store, shops, farmers market. The sites are small, close and shadeless. The office and camp store is convenient and well stocked and the workers are friendly. The pool is tiny. The showers are coin operated. But I had a great time and would come back.

Access is easy from Peak View Drive. The campground road is washed out dirt/gravel and dusty. Why do you need speed bumps emplaced when you have to go 2 mph over washed out road. Upper section is pull thrus with more space. We were in the lower section that are back-in; back to back sites. It is tight in the lower section, we were 25 feet from our side neighbors and 10 feet from our neighbors behind. Its OK, if your neighbors are considerate. We had a neighbor blasting music for 10 hours a day, camp hosts just came around and laughed with them. All our other neighbors were good.

If you get the lower section, try to get the sites facing east, you get a good view of the mountains out your front window. Camp store has laundry room

AT&T service was excellent, 5 bars of 5G. Streamed easily without a booster.

Camped over FDW and even though it rained just one night it did not deter our stay. Bathrooms were extremely tidy but I wasn’t impressed with the coin timed showers. But we could do a full hookup and the access point to trails and the lake was great. There was a mama deer protecting her little babe during our stay so just be cautious of your surroundings. She would run up on us with our little pups from various locations. But overall an amazing trip. Will return. We also chose a site closest to the playground and it entertained our kids for hours

We enjoyed the easy access to the Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown Estes from Eastes Park at Mary's Lake. We even shared a quick walking tour in one of our videos: https://youtu.be/M-oUxILIC3k?t=832

Clean, propane and firewood available, and a nice little pool. The highlight was seeing Elk walk right into camp!

Affordible for the area we would stay again.

The park has various levels of hookups. We stayed in a water/electric site which was super spacious and level gravel. Dump station, garbage, and recycling all available on site as well as clean bathrooms with pay showers and dishwashing stations. Nice campground store open 8-8. Less than 10 minutes to RMNP and downtown Estes Park. Elk and deer wandered through campground in the evening.

This location is great! Close to the downtown but also close to three of the park entrances.

The sites are very well maintained and cared for. We had multiple neighbors leave and each time the maintenance crew would come and clean tables and rake or even sweep up (dirt/gravel) to make sure it was ready for the next family. Best we have seen so far in 10k miles that we have traveled.

There are full hookups available, our site is a electric and water only and offers 20/30amp. They are spacious and even have a bear box to store food in if needed (tent camping). They are big enough for coolers to easily fit.

Sites are gravel. Our site is level and looks as neighbors are as well (no blocks under wheels).

Restrooms offer showers and flush toilets. They are VERY clean and maintained throughout the day. Showers are $2 for 6min. The TP is also soft and strong vs what we have experienced in most places.

Overall could not recommend higher!

First of all, the entire campground was gravel. Small gravel. And although the sites were nice and level and there was plenty of space, there are literally no trees at all in the campground except for in the tent sites.

The bathrooms were very clean, but you had to pay $2 for the shower. The staff was not particularly friendly, but that isn't the primary problem

The primary problem with this location is simply the fact that you're in a parking lot with hookups. We would not choose to stay there again. Location relative to Estes Park was fine.

Well run, lots of helpful staff, clean and with good bathrooms. Only minutes away from the East Entrance to RMNP and Estes Park. Relatively quite and family friendly. Definitely choose pull through spots M01 through M22 if available. They are the two highest rows, closest to the entrance and with the best views. Spots M23-M46 are side to side and back to back... they looked kinda cramped with limited views especially if you are in the M23 to M34 row. 2 bars 5G with T Mobile.

We stayed here one night after traversing RMNP from the western entrance ( so worth it !) We got a last minute reservation instead of going all the way back . It’s a gravel lot , but less cramped than most . You have to pay for the shower ( but seriously it’s the best shower we’ve had with over 3 months on the road !) they have a pool . Good location. Would stay again .
