Beautiful campground for small trailers, vans and tents. Pay close attention to site information and keep in mind that because of trees/rocks even though your rig can fit it - may be difficult to back a trailer into the site. This campground was built in the CCC era and is not for big rigs at all. We have a 21 ft tt and fit comfortably into site #20. We had enter and exit going in the opposite direction of traffic in order to back into the site, but its a small campground so it it was no problem. There are water spickets but they are not set up to fill fresh water tanks. No electric. Personally I would not want to bring anything bigger than a 25 ft trailer into the campground. There is a steep dip coming into and out of the campground - it looks like the hitch might bottom out but we had no problems. Host was very nice and helpful!!

This is a clean, well-apportioned campground. It is wooded, which would be nice in the summer heat, but we missed seeing the sky on our January stay there. The campground host was very nice. There is a standup grill, which would be great for cooking hot dogs, but is less good for making a marshmallow-roasting fire. The restrooms are of old CCC construction, but are clean and well-supplied. There are no showers. There is a nice 1/2 mile trail to the visitor center.

My only complaint about the campground was that the spaces are quite close together. Unfortunately, the campsite we reserved was right next to an RV that ran their stand-alone generator all day long. The DID abide by the 9 pm - 8:30 am quiet time, but it was still obnoxious the rest of the time. We ended up leaving before our reservation was finished to find a quieter primitive campsite on the surrounding desert.

This is a beautiful campground with great amenities and most of the sites are nicely shaded. The tree canopy proved a bit of an issue in the winter camping we did because it made it a challenge to charge with our solar panels. But, I imagine that the shade in the summer is needed to combat the heat. The campground offers easy access to trails and the scenic drive to the Masai Point lookout. The rock formations are other-worldly and a must-see for anyone passing through.

What a beautiful park, and very interesting . The campground was very nice, although, I was really only there to sleep, out hiking, and exploring all day. The Rest rooms were very clean, with flush toilets, no showers. All the campsites had a picnic table, and fire pit, water spigots were near by. I thoughroly enjoyed the visitor center, the employees were very friendly, and knowledgeable, you could tell that they loved the park, and their job.
