Nice views, can hike down along the river if you wish. East side of upper campground can have a little Hwy noise. This canyon is prone to some wind. No showers. Air conditioned rest rooms.

Beautiful and tidy campsite
The campsite is really very neat and nicely laid out. Especially the places with roofs are great, as they give pleasant shade. A small suggestion for improvement: A few signposts with the seat numbers would make the search on arrival much easier. Overall but absolutely recommended!

Beautiful river to walk down to, decent camp spots which are well spaced. We were at the upper loop which was surprisingly quiet given the proximity of the highway. Great to have the sun shade at our site. Restrooms however were a bit lacking— water was turned off for the faucets in the women’s bathroom and there was no soap. There was potable water listed but we only found it accessible from the drinking fountain near the restrooms, i.e. there was no spigot for easy filling of larger containers. Water is also somewhat sulfurous which may bother some people.
