Interested in Camping During the Winter/Spring Seasons?

When prepared, camping is a fun activity throughout the year. Annually, the winter camping season in RMNP begins in late October and ends in late May.

During the 2024/2025 winter camping season, Aspenglen Campground will be open on a first come, first served basis.

How to Check In:

  • Sites are available on a first come, first-served basis. A limited number of sites will be open in the C-Loop only.

  • First, campers should proceed to Aspenglen Campground and pick out a campsite. Set up your campsite.
  • Next, after setting up your campsite, drive to Fall River Entrance to pay your camping fee in person with the ranger in the kiosk.


Additional Things to Know When Planning a Winter Camping Trip

  • All campsites have a table, tent pad, and fire grate.
  • Bring your own water with you. Water is not available in the campground during the winter season. There is no dump station available.
  • Flush toilets are not operational during the winter season. Portable toilets are provided.
  • Campsites are not plowed or shoveled; Campers are advised to pack a shovel and be prepared to dig out your own campsite.
  • When it snows, plowing the main park roads are our number one priority. Snowplows will plow campground roads, but expect delays.

Moraine Park Campground Update - December 2024

Moraine Park Campground remains closed due to the Moraine Park Campground & Headquarters East Utility Restoration Project. The contractor is working to finish up the project and Moraine Park Campground is expected to open this summer. However, we are unable to predict the opening date. We need to be confident regarding the availability of specific sites before we make sites available for summer 2025 reservations.

To learn more about this project, visit https://www.nps.gov/romo/getinvolved/moraine-park-campground-and-headquarters-east-utility-rehabilitation-project.htm.
