Having trouble finding a spot big enough for our 38’ toyhauler near Estes Park, CO in July. Any suggestions?

H E R E - Estes Park is a previous post of mine that may be of use to you.

I'm frequently up there, as I live about 45 minutes away. Have been visiting that area for nearly 40 years, so I've seen the changes that have occurred up there.

For that size rig, realistically there are limited choices, as far as getting in and around. I've noted in the post some of the parks that are tight.

Ekl Meadow will be a good choice for a large rig. Goodly number of pull thru sites, it's not narrow and you don't have to dodge a bunch of trees. Plus it lives up to its name; Elk are always wandering through.

Estes Park CG at Mary's Lake is also all pull thru for FHU sites. It's run by the Town of Estes Park, so is non-profit and has the lowest rates in town. (Along with Estes Park CG at East Portal, but your rig is too big for that).

Have you considered staying IN Rocky? Moraine Park and Glacier Basin would both be able to handle that size rig. Also, there are USFS CGs south of town that would also be doable.

As to getting around in Estes Park, I can give you some pointers for getting around, depending on which way you come in to town.
