Prices went from $11 to $50 per night and you closed everything. No bathrooms or showers. Some water spouts were shut off. $50 per night with no hook up's is outrageous! Especially when most of the camp is closed at Cholla Bay.

Did not know that I could not park at my campsite. Had to haul camping gear for 5 people to the campsite. It was very frustrating.

Truly one of the best campgrounds we’ve experienced. Campsites were super nice with covered picnic tables and plenty of space between sites. Campground hosts were outstanding and kept the entire campground very clean and comfortable. The bathrooms and showers were excellent but keep in mind the water is heated by solar panels so might not always have hot water. My only complaint would be that the generator hours were too generous in that quiet time was only 10 pm. until 6 am. Too many people ran generator ALL day so we could not experience much quiet time in this beautiful place. Some people even ran generator all night disturbing our sleep. In all honesty, I would prefer the banning of generators in campgrounds and promote solar panels in this desert area. I would recommend hour restrictions such as generator use from 7-10, noon- 2, and 5-8. We rely on solar and it’s wonderful! We plan on returning and hope generators are restricted. Thank you!
