Glacier Gorge Campground

Glacier Gorge Backcountry Campsite is a high-elevation wilderness campsite (9,171 ft) located in Rocky Mountain National Park, requiring a permit reservation through Recreation. gov ($36 permit fee).

Water is available directly from Glacier Creek, though it must be treated before drinking, and the site is approximately 4 hours hiking from the trailhead, making it ideal for backpackers and hikers seeking alpine camping with bear canister food storage requirements (April-October).
