Bathrooms were clean, park employees were very nice, and everything went smoothy. Thank you for the experience, and keep up the good work!
Barker Dam is always the busiest hike, I would recommend trying the other hikes that are not as popular for a quieter experience.

The Jumbo Rocks campground has many lovely sites - but ours was sloping and almost too small to fit our car and tent. There are great hikes right out the tent door and the ranger program was very well done.

Go at the right time of the year and the weather is perfect. Hiked a little over 17 miles in 3 days. Lost Horse loop trail was my favorite. Campsite we had in Jumbo Rocks was private and quiet. Toilets (vault) were kept clean. The views and geology were spectacular. Will return.
