However, we were amazed at our beautiful site at Glacier, and after driving Moraine, wondered why folks preferred it?
I must admit I haven't camped at Glacier Basin since many of the trees were removed due to beetle kill. Many of the sites are so out in the open without the trees. I imagine better views, though. If the OP is looking for a campsite in Glacier Basin with some trees, try to find one in loops A and B.
Our preference for Moraine Park is because of the trees and the views of Longs Peak and at the peaks at the headwaters of the Big Thompson. Of course in the fall, the elk in the park is an amazing sight. Can be a little noisy in the morning when the elk are bugling.
