Our trailer Length 21'. And Im glad we are not longer. Road was rough at the campground and narrow. Campsite was spacious and private. No water. Overlook hike was short, but view was really nice. As we are not fishermans and it was a bit boring for us. No trails to hike, but canyon is beautiful.

We love this campground. As an avid fly fisherman, this is my favorite place to camp. The walk to the river is just a few steps and the fishing is amazing. The campground is always clean and the camp hosts are helpful and friendly. It’s not always easy to get in, though and sells out quickly in the summer months. It seems that few people cancel when their plans change as we saw several empty campsites with dates of arrival that were the day prior to ours. That’s a shame because others are trying to get in. I’m
Not sure what the solution to that is.
As a side note to anyone concerned about access for their camper through the tunnels, we have a 30’ travel trailer that makes it through without a problem. I wouldn’t try it in a fifth wheel because of the increased height.

The site itself was awesome and we enjoyed the hike up overlooking the reservoir and entire region. Great recommendation by the site host. Unfortunately we had some super loud partying neighbors out last couple of nights. A lot of swearing and crazy loud music. The camp host did speak to them and they quieted down the first night by 10:00. The second night they were rowdy much later. The camp itself is great and in a beautiful location. You can't control who will end up camping nearby. Aside from that our experience was good. The canyon is stunning and the Fall colors were amazing.
