Some sites are even smaller than the one I stayed at but larger sites are available, however. This campground is nice but it may not be suitable for large groups. You will want to consider a group campsite or renting more than one site. My favorite sites were H7, H15, H16, H17, H20, H35, H36, H10, and H11. I would avoid H1, H2, and H5. The sites I tend to prefer have a good mix of privacy and shade. My favorite sites were in the Kruger campground near the meadow. All of these sites seemed really nice.
Hermit's Hollow is one of the campgrounds in the Hermit Park recreation area. I stayed in H17. The site was nice but a tad small and not enough shade. My site was perfect for holding a couple people but would be cramped if more than 3 people tried to share it, even though each site is said to accommodate 8 people. I suppose this is feasible if you take 1-2 vehicles and have a 8 person tent.
The great thing about Hermit Park is that it is really quiet and relaxing. The views are gorgeous and the park is only 3 miles from Estes Park, which offers many activities. The best part of my trip was my girlfriend visiting me on the second night. She had to work late and ended up showing up after 11pm but it was totally worth it and made my camping experience better as I was not camping by myself.
While in Estes Park, I visited the Midsummer Scandinavian Festival and the Dancing Pines Distillery, where I sampled several different liqueurs. The brulee and black walnut liqueurs were my favorites. The town of Estes Park is awesome and has many small shops and restaurants to explore. I enjoyed a green mint tea at the Dragon Leaf Tea company and had a delicious French dip sandwich at Moon Kats.
There is even a short hike in town where you can hike up to the ruins of a cabin.
