Beautiful. We loved this site. Such a stunning landscape! It's most special at dusk and dawn. This site is HUGE and has its own bathroom. Very nice grills and tables--great for a large group.

Because the park rangers don't patrol around the campgrounds anymore, we found 20-30 people squatting in our site, and pretending that was their site... There are a lot of young people who stay in campsites without reservation these days.

The bathrooms were clean and the site was great. It was very spacious. Downside was someone was letting their dogs roam around unleashed and it decided to take a wet dump in our site and we had kids running around. Other than that everything was great.

Came here early November, make sure you bring warm clothes, lots of firewood, and tent stakes for the windy nights. Great desert views, we will come back again.

We love this campground. Iβve stayed at Site 1 in the past, which was spacious, beautiful and great for larger groups. We stayed at Site 5 this time with a smaller group. We loved it. There is space behind the picnic tables that feels more secluded and private. That was our favorite part. By nightfall, you feel a bit far away from everyone, which is hard to find in some group site campgrounds. Sheep Pass is by far my favorite campground that you can reserve in the area. The fact that itβs in the park makes it incredibly special.

The location is great, it's next to a mount of rocks and is some what in a hidden corner offering a lot of privacy. Even so it is still quite spacious. The bathrooms are a short walk away and their is a trash can at the foot of the campsite.
