Long Draw Campground

We stay here often due to the proximity to the Poudre and the "back door" into RMNP. The campground is typically well run and very clean. Long Draw Road doesn't open, usually, until 4th of July weekend, and if it's been a snowy winter, the water might not get turned on until August. From here you can hike down Corral Creek, or drive a bit further south to the end of Long Draw and hike the Grand Ditch to a few trails. There is great fishing from here, and a LOT of moose and elk. It's very popular for hunters in the Fall.
The road is heavily traveled, so if you can, grab a campsite as far from Long Draw Road as you can. In July, expect mosquitos.

A bit tricky to find, which makes it less used than some of the other sites. First come first serve and a very rustic camp ground. Seem to always see moose up there. Puts you close to the Poudre entrance of the National Park.

If you're looking to do some fishing while in the park, definitely stay here. It's first come, first serve so get there early during the busy season! The prices are reasonable, too: $16 for a single, $32 for a double, and the singles hold up to 8 people!
