Beautiful sites. Ours was a little far from a toilet but you can look at the map online to reserve closer.

Extremely well run and clean campground with a an attentive and diligent camp host onsite. The views of the San Luis Valley from the campground are exceptional and night-time sky viewing is inspiring - marvelous location. Great place to camp, especially for Trailer/RV/Vehicle campers.

If hiking to falls be aware you must go into water to your waist and large boulders that are very slippery.

Great stay. Bathrooms were extra clean and camp host was great. We stayed 2 nights Sunday and Monday and no noise at all. There is plenty of after dinner hiking about 4 miles hidden behind the parking lot for Zapata falls. Look good at campsite map on mapping program to check parking
