The Estes Park Campground at East Portal is a charming campground illustrating idyllic camping in the Rocky Mountains. It is so close, yet feels so far away from the hustle and bustle of Estes Park. This very popular campground is located at an elevation of 8,300 feet at the end of a beautiful road just west of town. There are wonderful views of the snow covered peaks in Rocky Mountain National Park and access to the East Portal Reservoir which has ample opportunities for fishing. This double loop campground offers shady sites suitable for tenters and campers with small RVs and trailers shorter than 22 feet in length. It is especially well-suited for families and outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore nearby nature and trails in Rocky Mountain National Park. Numerous hiking trails lead into the national park right from the campground. A mature blend of ponderosa and lodgepole pines interspersed with groves of aspens makes it a wonderful home away from home. It is an ideal setting for guests seeking recreation and relaxation.
From downtown Estes Park, take U.S. Highway 36/CO 66 west approximately 1.7 miles. Take CO 66 to the left (aka Tunnel Road), for 3.3 miles to the campground.
