Moraine Park, Colorado is an expansive valley along one of the most scenic drives in Rocky Mountain National Park. Not only will you enjoy watching many kinds of wildlife, but also wildflowers bloom with an array of color in the spring.

Big Thompson River flows through Moraine Park and is a favorite spot for fishermen. The backdrop of the Rockies just adds to the pleasure of trout fishing here.

Riding the Moraine Park trails provides amazing experiences, from watching elk grazing, enjoying Ponderosa pines exuding the pleasant pine scent, seeing mountain streams tumbling over rocky beds. Wildlife is abundant and you may catch sight of a bighorn sheep, deer or coyote. Horseback riding through Moraine Park is like stepping back in time.

The Moraine Park Campground offers first-come, first-served camping from mid-September through mid-May, or reserved camping during the remaining months. At 8,150 feet, there’s nothing like sleeping under the stars, waking to view the lovely meadows and relaxing with the forest as a canopy.
