Loved our first visit to this site this past weekend. The hosts were very kind and helpful, and the bathrooms were the cleanest we have ever seen. Beautiful views of the rim, and the sites are spaced out nicely. We will for sure be back again!

Sites were very well spaced and maintained and the hosts were great. We had lots of shade at our spot. My only complaint is that campers across the road apparently had their generator going during the entire time period it was allowed. Perhaps there should be a restriction on the number of hours/day? We were not at our site the entire day but when we were it was constant generator noise.

Very clean campground and facilities. Large open field for games. Wonderful ramada and grill. Tent area is somewhat hilly and surrounding forest is very hilly.

Site was clean and easy to access. Very nice campsite with plenty of space to stretch out without feeling like another site was right on top of your area.
