Accommodations and Services

The summer season permits considerable choice of the type of lodging or meals desired. Some prefer to camp out in some of the six free campgrounds in the park. Others prefer the smooth comfort of the many fine hotels and lodges of the region. Western-style guest ranches, with the usual facilities, modern motels, and modest housekeeping cabins are all abundant. Several lodges are located within Rocky Mountain National Park; many others are located outside the park boundaries but within easy driving distance of the park. Prices for comparable accommodations are about the same throughout the region.
