Great spots and sweet location just outside the valley floor. We used this as our base camp while we backpacked and it was great to stay within the park limits.

Still wish for easier way to book! There were numerous empty sites but the website and campground claims to be full! We stayed 3 nights and moved sites each night🥵
Why can’t we go to the campground office and get a site on the same day?
