I understand campground hosts can't watch everything all the time, but due to the campers next door to me it was just a horrible experience. The neighboring young adult campers were already drinking when I arrived and checked in at 1:00. They got nothing but louder and louder all day into the evening. I came to the mountain campground for a quiet weekend. The camp rules given to me state that there is a 24/7 Quiet Hours times. The more my neighbors drank, the louder they became, all 8 of them and it was non-stop. Of course they also had to crank up their music every so often for everyone to hear. There was a Groundskeeper for the camp that kept flying by all day (well over the posted campground speed limit) on his little scooter but he never paid any attention to the party of 8 next to me. Since I could see nothing was going to be done by management, and in their loud conversations I heard them say they were going to be there until Monday, I made up my mind to pack up and just head out 1st light Sunday morning. This place is advertised as a beautiful, quiet place to spend some time away. It wasn't. Waste of time and money.

The drive up to WRM is treacherous (you will drive cliffside on steep winding loose gravel for 45 mins) but the camping, views, hiking, and sunsets are worth it. Take a 4WD vehicle for your own safety.

Wonderful location in the middle of the forest, great CCC architecture, and excellent caretakers! Only hassle was the detour caused by the washed out road. Can't believe USFS hasn't repaired it yet.

The campsites were well maintained and clean. We enjoyed that we had space between our site and a neighbor's. The staff on hand were super helpful and kind.
We highly recommend the Rim Trail.
Beautiful area!
