Facilities are well maintained. I do hope that something can be done to deter people from parking off the main road between the A and B loops in order to camp. There is plenty of space to park in the main lot, but people pulled onto the grass/terrain wherever they wanted to. People were also camping in the host campground. If this is not regulated from time to time, I fear that it will become an access issue for the rest of us.

This place was very nice - well maintained and has both a paved road and Shelf road leading to it, the perfect spot, right where you get a perfect mountain sunrise. Choosing online was also a neat experience. The only thing that could be better would be dumpsters (possibly located near bathroom) so we didn't have to find a place in town to drive our trash bags.

Great spot for the area. Sites are a little close together but overall, well maintained and perfect for access to climbing.

Great to have this new loop on the campground. Sites on the inner part if the loop don’t have much privacy but do have great views.

Campground host has sites easily marked with last name. This site is really beautiful and the reservation process was easy. The host has been doing a great job in the area maintaining and enforcing this new system. Note that the numbering system is a bit off, website had site #2 but I should up to site #1 (since host spot took the old #1).
