Cool location with nice water near by. Bathrooms were very clean and well supplied. I’d say just bring a light for evening hours, the lighting is somewhat dim. Great time at Palisade.

wow! I'm in love with this campsite, I wish people were more mindful of this beautiful place. It looks like the people before us were a little messy, we tried to clean up as much as possible and leave the place better than how we found it. Definitely coming back again.

All good but we did notice that the bathrooms were looked at on day 2 of day 6 only. A faucet was turned off in one of the bathrooms due to a leak so unfortunately we only had one functioning bathroom for 20 plus people. Oh well, we adjusted.
