Our site 26 was nice but allowing 12 tents and over 20 high school students to camp next to us (site15) was unacceptable. The kids are great but their host and the campground failed to teach them about campground etiquette.
Walking through our camp constantly, having too many people in one site and not quiet after ten was not clear to them.
Worst camping ever in 30 years.
We deserve a refund honestly.
When we arrived 3 tents were in our pull-through site and had to get the host to help move then tents. Not fun on 90 deg and our RV blocked the road for 30min before solving.
Shame.

The park itself was awesome. We were surprised by the beauty of the natural surroundings. The crowds that are so familiar at other parks were not present. The only negative is the campsites. Many are small and close together. We happen to be in a site near a group of sites that were being used by a busload of teens. Not the most serene environment. To be fair, there some sites on the outer edges of the campground that offer a bit more privacy.

We stayed at site 36B, which is on the outer loop and offers really fantastic views. The site is supposed to be able to support up to three tents according to the instructions on site, but we had an extremely hard time figuring out where to pitch our tent. My partner was convinced I mistakenly reserved an RV-only site, but I showed him the reservation to be sure. The site hardly matches the photo if at all. We had a picnic table but no grill, disappointingly. There were three potential spots for a tent: one on top of a raging anthill, one completely rocky and uneven, and one tightly tucked between two trees and bordering very closely to our neighbor's campsite. We chose the latter only because our neighbor had a camper to sleep in. Our modestly sized six-person tent just barely fit, and I don't know how any larger would fit at all. Our site also had a parking spot very fit for our car; I'm doubtful an RV or camper would fit that space well either. I can't attest to the other campsites, but 36B doesn't seem to have been planned well at all. Once we set up camp, everything went well (in part because I had a camp stove and didn't need the grill that wasn't at our site). The bathrooms were clean and centrally located, and the dumpsters were also easy to get to. Overall, this campground is great for spending time at such an excellent national monument, but the campsites might not be as well-planned as I would have hoped.

Our site we had reserved was #11 and we had wanted site #12 but the reservation system said we could with the length od vehicles we had. They site # 12 was more than adequate for a 17' trailer and small truck. We were able to switch the sites and everything was great and gave the other family in # 10 more room and privacy,
There are some great hikes right from the campground to the edge of the canyon. We had a great time.

Camp ground was amazing. The host was even more amazing. There was an issue with my reservation and he was quick to find a solution! Loved my stay!

Everyone was very helpful! We couldn't spend much time there, and a ranger recommended making sure to walk out on Otto's trail, which was perfect. There is some space to park at Otto's trailhead, but we walked back from a larger parking lot.

Campsite was excellent. Level drive and nice fire-pit and incredible evening and morning views. Will return for sure.
