Estes Park campground suggestions
We have camped in Estes Park I believe 4 times and stayed at Elk Meadow RV. We enjoyed the first visits but the last two it seemed to go downhill. We last stayed there 3 years ago so maybe things have...

estesbubba - not sure you can get into Paradise with your rig. It is a nice place (or used to be and I have not heard anything bad about it) but it is tight. And not sure how this flood issue might have affected them. Seen it but not stayed there.
Last time we were at Elk Meadow did us in. They had promised they had improved the wifi and roads ...... nada. Weeds all over the common area. Hot tub (which we liked after hiking) did not work. But get this. Cell phone does not get out and they took the public phone off the outside of the building near the office! I asked what should one do in case of emergency and got a shoulder shrug and dumb look. I raised a certain amount of heck about that and I think a phone has been put back. Just a real indifferent attitude.
Marys Lake was taken over by the County a couple / few years ago and hopefully they improved it.
We loved Estes Park and still have many friends there. But this last devastation is really bad - there was a 4 sq mile of No Flush zone in town meaning using porta potties. Some has been restored but most of it not as yet. I understand the immediate downtown is cleaned up pretty well and, of course, begging for business; their lifeblood. Info from business friends there does not paint a pretty picture.
I have not heard much about Rocky Mtn NP itself.
