Spots are all well maintained and bathrooms are kept clean. The river gets crowded quick but slows down in the evening. There is limited parking but there are reserved parking for campers.

Super crowded. 75 cars coming into the canon on a day pass then 75 cars traveling back out at the end of the day. People park in the campground and then recreate in the river across the road. Leaving their dogs running around off leash while campers have their dogs on leash. On both sides of our site was 3 families camping together, 6 adults and 7 children running back and forth between campsites screaming playing. The parents were without concern for any piece and quiet or that there were other campers in the campground.

Great location and was a positive experience with two little ones and three pups. Really enjoyed the environment and especially the river.

Nice hillside with trees behind the site. Provides some shade when it's hot. Short walk across the street to the river.
