Estes Park - National Parks Retreat Campground


Anxious to get the trailer out on its first real camping trip, we took it to the National Parks Retreat Campground in Estes Park. It was early in the season, so we had most of the campground to ourselves. [Note: Since posting this entry, the National Parks Retreat Campground no longer offers camping]

It was only mid march and cold outside at night, so we spent the evenings inside playing board games and eating jiffy pop popcorn. One night we ordered a pizza delivered to our door, which was a fun and novel experience for us in a camper.

Estes Park is right on the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park and many wild animals wander through the campground. We saw many herds of elk and deer this weekend.

What a fun little camper this is! It was a great trip, great fun, and we can't wait until the next one.
