Thinking about a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park in late May or early June of next year. What are some good campgrounds for a base camp for a few days. We like to drop off the 5th wheel and then take daily trips of 100 miles or less to see all the sights. I don't like to travel steep mountain grades with the 5th wheel. We will be coming in from Interstate 76 and prefer the Estes Park area.
H E R E - Estes Park is a link to a post I made to a similar thread. I'm up in Estes Park fairly regularly, know the area quite well. These campgrounds/parks are what's available in Estes Park.
As for gettinng there...if you plan to arrive in Estes Park before Memorial Day 2018, you will have to take US 36 up from Lyons. US 34 from Loveland will not be an option. The Big Thompson Canyon/US 34 is closed for a 12 mile stretch beginning Oct 2, 2017 and is scheduled to re-open the 1st or 2nd week in June 2018.
