First time camping trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. What can I expect?

best tent camping rocky mountain national park image

I am road tripping to the Rocky Mountain National Park, and plan on camping there. So far, Moraine Park seems most appealing. I will be going the very first week of August. How should I prepare as far as clothing, sleeping bags/blankets? How cold/rainy is it usually in early August?
Also, since this is my first time, what should I expect as far as road conditions and driving? Will I have to drive up parts of mountains to get to the site?

Answer
Rocky Mountain National Park has many camping sites. The first week in Aug will be warm but the nights cool off. You will need a tent and moderate sleeping bag. It does rain and there are a lot of animals be prepared and have a place to store you food that is not in your tent. The roads will be great and will enjoy going up the trail route (a road to 12000 ft). for more info look at visitingparks.com/RockyMountain.htm (you can get a park map from there also)

Where is the best place to tent camp in the Rocky Mountain National Park?

Answer
I like Moraine Park Campground (8160 ft), located on Bear Lake Road approximately two and a half miles south of the Beaver Meadows Entrance Station, has 245 sites. Open year round. Reservations taken and recommended from May 21 to October 6, 2008. First-come, first-served the remainder of the year. Camping fee $20/site/night during the reservation period and when water is on; fee after water is turned off is $14/site/night. Recreational vehicle and trailer length limit is 35 feet.
