Great location and a wonderful host at this campsite. Took the wilderness trail that is located right next to the campground and saw some wildlife on a easy relaxing hike.

Overall a nice, simple campsite. We usually do a site south of the rim, but decided to try Sinkhole to be closer to the lakes. Being a 5 minute drive from Willow Springs Lake and the rim lookout where super helpful. We even had wild horses come by one morning and hangout near our campsite.
Be aware: you are close to the highway and road to the lake, meaning you may hear some traffic and not feel fully immersed in nature like at other camps sites. There is very little to no cell service (T-mobile) so we had to drive to the rim visitor center. Many RVs at the site, so if you are focused on being amongst tents, I recommend a different site.

We have been camping at Sinkhole for many years and have always had a pleasant experience. This visit was just the right temps and afternoon showers were the best. Bathrooms are always clean and host always very helpful and pleasant.
My husband enjoyed the fishing as always also. Another reason we have always chose to camp at Sinkhole.

We were in site 17. Very clean love the lake. Did not know it was a double space that could be stated clearer. The traffic noise from Hwy 260 is very loud especially the big rigs at night. Probably would not stay there again only reason is because of the Hwy 260 noise.
