It was my first trip to the park and it was thoroughly enjoyable. The camping experience was very nice, aside from the cheeky racoons. But they were cute, too. Having a pool is quite nice. The store was amazing, with unbelievable selection, and surprisingly fair prices. I only wish that the camp store would open a little earlier in the morning so that early risers could grab something before leaving.

Cool national park, but our campsite was in the sun with NO shade whatsoever… (site #7)

The campground was clean and had a range of site options: some were very private and some with no privacy at all. Some very shady and some in full sun. We loved the pool and it was a necessity on the hot afternoons we were there. I wish there were bathrooms spread out more among the sites. We were in site 79 and it is a LONG walk in the morning to get to the vault toilets when you really gotta go!

Nice site with only 1 close neighbor. Does get brutal afternoon sun, though. Good distance from bathroom.

Very clean campground, convenient to be right by the bathrooms (foot traffic slowed down at night and everyone was quiet and respectful). Bonus is there are quite a few trees between you and the campsite next you which makes for some nice privacy. The showers were hot and the store was stocked, overall great experience.

We are very found of this park. The campgrounds are fairly clean and well kept. I'm not sure what resources the park currently has but I do wish they would actually enforce the quiet hours and low light policy that is supposedly there. our party had to ask a group site to quiet down at 11 pm. It was a very large party and they were very loud with a lot of alcohol. I almost wish the park would enforce a no alcohol policy like some other parks. This would help to keep people looking for that type of entertainment to go elsewhere. We will be back to hopefully see some Condors but in the off season.

It’s a lovely place. Campsites vary a lot- some are more open and easier to socialize w neighbors and others are more isolated. It’s all nice if you match it well to your needs. Campground facilities are well maintained but actual showers are fairly few so coordination required

Great location for an early start on the trail. The office closes early and could have left out more information for hikers to be able to start early morning - before the heat of the day.
