Five backcountry campsites in the Wild Basin area of Rocky Mountain National Park are closed because of increased bear activity. 

Park staff closed the five campsites on July 13 because of visitor safety concerns. These five campsites; Pine Ridge, Tahosa, Aspen Knoll, Siskin, and North St. Vrain will be closed through July 19 when they will be reevaluated.  Contact the backcountry permit office at (970) 586-1242 for more information and updates.
