We had a great campsite right by the bathroom that backed up to the woods. Only negative thing about the spot was that you could often hear people on the trail, and the noise from the road was pretty substantial during peak hours.

My husband and I had gone tent camping for our honeymoon and it was beautiful. The bathrooms were close and we had an amazing view! The campground is very clean and kept up to date.

We really like the new shower rooms at N. Overlook. They were a comfort when a severe storm blew in on July 10th with high winds. The siren was barely heard, but the ranger driving through the loop several times, lights flashing, speaker on with storm warning was appreciated.
