As always, the setting of the campground is stunning. There was a lot of happy noise in the evening but people were very respectful of quiet hours. Our site was spacious but a little close to neighbors. My only complaint is the road is in bad condition!

Stunning views at this campground, was very cold at night but had a great stay. Would definitely return, toilets were the cleanest out of the sites we’ve visited.

Went camping with my 11 year old and 7 year old. They met other kids and neighboring camps and had the best time climbing rocks and discovers caves and playing tag. Hanging out at the camp was enough adventure for two days. We did go on a couple of hikes in the main part of the park. Discovered the North Entrance which is great because it can take a while to drive from Indian Cove to the West Entrance. Bring plenty of sunscreen, we got a bit of sun on the first day even though it didn't feel all that hot and sunny. Can't wait to come back next year.

Beautiful park and very convenient camp ground. NPS rangers are rare out there these days so keep that in mind when considering activities and sufficient preparation to be out in this wilderness. Hike safe and enjoy!

Really cool campground. Lots of rocks for the kids to climb around on. Amazing views of the night sky. Campground is between both park entrances so easy drive to get inside in the park or go to a visitor center.
Only downside is no running water for filling water bottles, cooking, or showering. Which is pretty minor.

We loved site 12. Perfect for our kids. They climbed on the rocks directly at the site for hours.

Awesome site and awesome campground. Would definitely recommend. More space and arguably more to explore here than Jumbo Rocks Campground. This particular site has a lot of space and backs right up to some places to explore. Only downfall is that it’s close to the entrance so you do get some traffic with latecomers/early risers…

You need to walk a short distance from the parking area to reach the campsite. The site is compact and tends to be crowded, as it’s located close to neighboring campsites. However, it’s conveniently situated near the bathrooms.

Excellent low key campground. Not too much noise in the campground and not much of a ranger presence.
Good climbing throughout Indian Cove right in some of the campsites; don't let campers deter you from doing climbs; everything is game.
For pit toilets, the bathrooms aren't bad - pretty clean and well stocked with TP.
