Aspen Meadows Campground

Crowded, expensive, really packed campsites, but beautiful. If you are looking for a nice quiet "get away" this is not it. The bathroom in the 15-27 loop has a horrible ammonia smell, possibly due to incorrect ventilation.

Beautiful park, terrible hosts. We arrived when it was raining and found our tent site flooded. We knocked on the hosts RV door to see if we could switch tent pads with a nearby empty site for the night or if they had any idea how to deal with the water in ours and they looked at us like we were disturbing them. They sent us to the other campsite to talk to park staff about switching (even though it was after hours and they should have known the facility would be closed). They then went back into their RV leaving us to figure out what to do in the pouring rain. Probably the rudest camp hosts we’ve ever met. We spent the next hour “sweeping” water out of our tent pad, getting water and mud everywhere in the freezing cold, and then woke up the next day with our tent sitting in the reformed puddle. We left the next morning a day early. The park is lovely but the experience was awful. Not worth the money. Expect no help or empathy whatsoever from the hosts if you come here.

Some of the camp sites are on top of each other, sites 1 and 2, & 3 and 4. Are like that, there are a number of campsites like that throughout the 35 site at Aspen Meadows. It is $28 dollar a day site fee, $10 a day park pass, and fellow campers having to walk thru your campsite. Nice place to have a group, not so much individually. The national parks and forest have private sites and fewer fees tacked in. I can not say I will be back.

How TF do you book a reservation?!?!? Your link to the "website" takes you to a site that has you redirect to another site that then redirects to another site that has a search bar that doesn't have THIS campground in it's data base... The phone number provided is just 10-minute long recordings that never allows you to talk to anyone, nor do you have an opportunity to book a reservation there either.

My 5 year old loves this campground (though he calls it dudes fishing hole, after his favorite hiking spot nearby). Some of the sites are really close together, but some are more isolated, so you can have a social or a solitary experience if you want (and the site you prefer is available). The campsite hosts are usually around and come by every morning to check out the sites. The bathrooms are decently convenient (pit toilets, no sink). There's water spigots pretty much at every cluster of campsites. We've pretty much only had good experiences here the half dozen times we've camped here, and it's now our go-to campground.
