This is a great site being at the end of the row and close to the water but there is no shade to speak of. I really like this campground though for its mountain views, wildlife, and access to this stretch of river. Be warned though, everybody wants to fish this area near the Spillway! The hosts are super nice and maintain the sites and restrooms very well. I will be going back when I can. AT&T was basically nonexistent but Starlink works fine.

Quite location. Bring water since the hand pump is out of commission. Another pump is available at the next campground over.

It's a very secluded campground. Overall, it was clean and it wasn't crowded when we stayed here for 2 nights/3days. It's very quiet, you can't even hear the stream even if it's next to the river. We stayed at Site 20 and would choose it again- more than enough grassy space for multiple tents, there's a good amount of shade next to where you park your vehicle. There's a toilet vault closer to Site 24. No bear box.
If you're camping with more than 8 people, Site 21 & Site 22 are closer to Site 20.

Fire ban was in effect, but our fire pit had some trash and half burned cutting board

The site was clean and well sized with level tent area and picnic table locations. It was not crowded by other nearby camp sites. It afforded a beautiful view of the canyon and was close by good fishing spots.
