It was quiet, beautiful and restful. The spacing of the sites was wonderful. They are narrow and lack a degree of privacy but that's more due to the slope and nature of the vegetation than anything else. Hard to enlarge, but don't shrink the sites or put more in. Toilets are clean. I never met the hosts. My neighbors were terrific. Well done. I'll be back!

Beautiful drive up, friendly and helpful camp host, clean bathrooms, incredible view. Proximity from camp to falls made it even better

Great campground! Sites were far enough apart that you didn’t feel cramped. Tons of trees and rocks for the kids to climb

The campground is clean and spacious, and the falls were a short 0.5 mile hike and were absolutely gorgeous
Hike up to south zapata lake was also beautiful

Site 17 was very sloped and always smelled of the restrooms. No shade. This was supposed to be an ADA site, but I'm not sure how a potential wheelchair user of those with mobility issues would be able to keep their balance due to how sloped the site was.

Good views from the campsite. Hiking Zapata Falls was awesome! Unfortunately, there did not seem to be a good flat spot at this site for a camper van.

I wish that I had scheduled more time for us to enjoy the experience. We had to cut it short because of car trouble.

The campsite was great, the view was amazing, and the bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Location is so close to the national park too!
