  • Aspenglen Campground: reservation counts as timed entry for the rest of the park and the Bear Lake Road corridor.
  • Timber Creek Campground: reservation counts as timed entry for the rest of the park — not the Bear Lake Road corridor.
  • Longs Peak Campground: First come, first served and tents only; it opens in early July. The camping fee does not include a timed entry reservation, so campers follow the same hours as other visitors.
