The location is great! It's centrally located in the park so visitors only have about a 15 mile drive to reach the northern and southern ends of the main road. Perfect base for anyone wanting to explore the whole park during their stay.

A beautiful campground close to summit lake and to some other major attractions of the mark. Campsites are somewhat close together. I saw a very clear night skies, and milky way from campsite itself. Bathrooms were clean. Overall, Very nice stay!
