It is 20 minutes to the Grand Lake (East) side of Rocky Mountain National Park so that's a huge plus. There are two beautiful lakes to play on and there's a boat ramp at this campground (only launch from the ramp, including paddlecraft). The...

I like this campground (this was our second visit) because it's not super busy especially compared to some other National Parks/Monuments. The campground is pretty bare bones, there are flush toilets and water spigots but no dump station or...

This is a huge and well-run campground. Lots of loops, all paved. Check the notes or Google Maps satellite about whether your loop has trees and shade.

The best thing about this campground is the proximity to the hiking trails (Stewart Falls and Mt. Timpanogos) - just across the street. This is a VERY busy trailhead so it's nice to not have to fret with parking. That said, it's a very busy...

Stanley Idaho is a real hidden gem. I don't think it will be hidden much longer. We loved Redfish Lake and went to the beach almost every day. There's trail riding, easy paddleboarding, a shallow warm and sandy shore. Crowded on the weekends. Note...

We were here during fourth of july weekend, so caveat on busyness - every campground is crazy for the Fourth. Especially at the lake.
So this is two campgrounds across the road from each other. Recreation.gov's list of FCFS sites doesn't...

So a caveat - we were here during a massive heat wave. It was 115 two days in a row. We were super grateful to have hookups so we could run the air conditioner. It was absolutely beautiful in the morning and going to mess around on the dunes...
