Rocky Mountain National Park

We are interested in taking a trip here near the end of July and would like any helpful tips or advice on campgrounds in or around park.  Thanks.

Are you staying on the east side of RMNP (Estes Park) or the west side (Grand Lake)?  

We stayed at the Elk Creek Campground last summer in Grand Lake.  It was a nice private campground with full hook-ups, it's right at the park entrance and less than a 5 minute drive into Grand Lake.  There is also a nice trail you can walk/bike into town on.

Since my post, we have a spot inside the park at Aspenglen campground.  No hookups.  Soooo looking forward to some Rocky Mountain air.  For the road trip up to park we've heard about Garden of the Gods and the train up to Pike's Peak.  Any other "nuggets" would be appreciated !
