Glacier Basin Campground was our home base in Rock Mountain National Park for 4 nights. We visited in September of 2020 in our 21-foot A-Frame Camper. During that time, the campground was at 40% capacity due to COVID-19. We were only able to drive through loops B & C for this campground tour. We also walked over to the Group camping loop.
Glacier Basin Campground has 150 sites. 73 of those sites are tent camping only. There are bath houses with flush toilets. For RV owners, there is a dump station and a fresh water fill area. There are no hook ups in this campground. In Loops A & B, generators are allowed during certain hours. In loop C & D generators are not permitted.
In each site, there is a picnic table, a tent pad, and a fire ring with grills. When we were there, Colorado was under a fire ban, so no campfires were allowed, even for cooking. You could us a fuel stove with a shut off to cook with.

From the NPS website: A pleasant mix of Douglas fir, Lodgepole pine, Ponderosa pine, and the occasional Engelmann spruce forests the campground, offering equal amounts of sun and shade. Grasses, shrubs and seasonal wildflowers fill the open meadows.
