Rim Campground

It was okay. Sites are super close. Seems way laid back. There was one site with like 60 people in it. No one wearing masks. Hiking was good. Canyon Lake was insane and no social distancing.

I love this campground. It's just a short hike to the edge of the rim. Not far from woods canyon or Willow springs. I like having phone signal because the wife doesn't camp with me and it's nice to be able to get ahold of her. My biggest complaint is I think the $18 fee is a little steep for not really supplying anything except a dirty non flushable bathroom and a picnic table.

Campground was clean and the camp host was very nice! Great spot to walk to the Rim Trail, or short drive to Wood Canyon Lake. The only drawback was that you could hear the trucks/cars on the nearby highway which is about 1/2 mile away. It's not really noticeable when everyone is socializing around camp, but you can hear it when nearby surroundings are quiet.

We stayed in spot 22. Unfortunately, spots 21, 23, and another on the inner circle were all part of a large family camping together. They were loud, up late every night, kids hit our vehicle several time with sports balls and kites, one kid even climbed in our car just after we arrived. The site itself was clean. The women's bathroom smelled so bad it burned your nose and throat. It hailed our second night, and our tent flooded, so we had to sleep in our car. However, the host, Larry, was very kind. We hung all of our things out to dry early the next morning and he didn't rush us in leaving, although we were able to leave by checkout time. Nice guy constantly driving around picking up other people's trash. We visited Willow Springs Lake, which was beautiful. We didn't get the relaxing weekend we were hoping for, and likely will not stay at this location again, but the kids still said they had fun and that's what matters. It sure is a trip they will never forget!

First time camping as a family by ourselves. The campground made it easy. Camp host was friendly. Vault toilets were acceptable. Having fresh water available to refill our 5gal container was a must for washing dishes and hands. We don't have the space in our vehicle to carry enough water up there for the weekend. As I expected, the campground was full and at least half the spots were occupied by RVs. So there was some generator noise, but it didn't run ALL night. We have small children, so we turned in early and could still hear the neighboring campers talking, playing music, etc. A minor annoyance, but not unexpected in a campground, and we eventually fell asleep. We could hear the traffic driving down Forest Road surprisingly late into Friday night (I'm taking midnight) and could see the light from headlights flashing through our tent. We'd maybe try to get a site on the opposite side, further from the road, next time. All in all, we had a great time. Another camper helped us jump our vehicle when we were packed and ready to leave, and had discovered the battery was dead, so that was super helpful!

Nothing wrong with the campground itself, but I made a reservation for four nights, only to find the campground closed upon arrival. I received notice of the closure by email two days after the trip started. Not real convenient!
