Great campsite with beautiful scenery and easy access. The area was quiet, well-maintained, and offered plenty of opportunities for hiking and exploring. I camped with a rooftop tent and had no issues getting in or finding a good spot. The views were incredible, especially during sunrise and sunset. It was the perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy nature. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful camping experience.

Great privacy in our campsite. Bathrooms clean and well stocked. Campground in good shape. A wonderful experience to be so near the crag, while still having this level of camping. Thank you to the host.

Campsite at The Bank (Shelf Road) was great! Campground and facilities were clean and well maintained. Site was large enough to accommodate 4 small tents and the views were amazing.

Great camping within walking distance to tons of sport climbing routes. Solid picnic tables, fire rings, and parking. Well-stocked pit toilets and decent cell coverage. No water or other services in the area, make sure to bring everything you need.

Beautiful site. Two tables and several tent sites. Nice spots for chairs out on the rim for the after climb beverage, in sun or shade. Slightly remote so it’s quiet with nobody walking by since it is at the end of the campground outside of the loop.
