This was our first time out with our Airstream Basecamp and we found Wheeler Peak Campground to be a perfect fit for our 16' trailer. There are a handful of sites that can handle a trailer our size and maybe 3-4 that can handle bigger. No issues driving up the 12 mile road at all with our trailer and SUV– beautiful drive!
I guess it was considered a busy time as we were there over Labor Day weekend but it didn't feel busy at all compared to other National Parks. Very Clean with clean restrooms and potable water. The dump station was also super easy and convenient at the base of the mountain for us first timers. Location was perfect for all of the best trails– Wheeler Peak, Alpine Lakes, Glacier and Bristle Cone Pines. Deer visits at our campsite twice a day was an awesome bonus!
Will be back 100%.
