Campsites were very clean. The sites offer privacy and great views. The vaulted toilets were very clean as well. 100% go back to The Bank again.

Our site was spacious and we liked that it was tucked back in the trees, however there were cacti everywhere to where we had a hard time finding bare spots to place our tents and have our dogs. Bathroom facility was nice and nearby.

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.
