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.
IMHO this is an OXYMORON - ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK - Sorry but IMHO if you want to see the sights you have to Drive in the MOUNTAINS.
Not sure I can be of any help.
St Vrain SP out side Longmont might work. Right off I-25, not in the Mountains - 42 miles from Estes Park.
We were over Monarch Pass this past June with no issues. However staying in really nice places without too many steep grades to travel just seems easier. Once I get set up and disconnected I could care less what the grade is.
Best of Luck
