Excellent experience at Sheep Pass Group campground. We had site #6 and it was plenty big for our hiking group of 15. Very quiet and scenic with clean restrooms. Great BBQ pits. Pleasantly surprised with everything!

Amazing location within the park. Our group used sites 2, 5, and 6. Each of them was great in its own way. Amazing views of the park, great rock scrambling, and the sites really made you feel like you had the park to yourself. Bathrooms were also super clean!

The campsite was great for our large party. Plenty of room and level ground for 12 tents. Lots of parking and a short walk to the bathrooms. Very quiet and not close to other campsites.

Nice campsite. Be warned that if you sleep in your car, the parking at Site No. 6 is significantly out of level and I would not recommend it for that purpose.

We had a wonderful time at Sheep’s Pass for our annual Cub Scouts trip! The group accommodations were great and we loved the site for being able to book a private rock climbing experience within walking distance - will definitely be back!

Awesome campground!!! There’s a lot to do and to explore. Even though it’s a group campsite, I went by myself and had a great time. I enjoyed the space and privacy. I will definitely come back.
