Camp site was spacious with water at the site. The pit toilet was directly across from the campsite. The area offered access to lots of great trails. Our group enjoyed our trip on the ferry across the Green River.

Camping experience was fine but not up to par with what we usually experience for $50 per night. Although minor because traffic is non existent, sight #4 is angled the wrong way for an rv or camper to back in. No problem, I just turned around on the main road and went the wrong way on the camping loop to back in as every other campground in the nation angles their camp sites. Second issue was our water faucet was buried 18" too shallow and seemingly wasn't frost proof anyways because most mornings it was froze up. Not a huge issue because it would thaw out an hour or two after sunrise and we weren't hooked directly to water anyways. These faucets probably aren't a good choice for the campground as a few sites from us a faucet was leaking all day and we couldn't get it to stop. This group camping/equestrian loop has water and electric. If I'm not mistaken, the main campground by the visitor center only has water.
Otherwise, quiet spot during thanksgiving and great mountain biking, hiking. If you want to do a cave tour book early, it's worth it.

The directions around the park to get to the campsite due to not being able to use the ferry added an unnecessary 1.5 hours to our drive time when there was a more direct path coming from the north. I wish we had mapped it ourselves rather than relying on the booking directions. Campsites were really nice and large. Very spaced out. It would be nice if there was a dumping station added to this side of the park as the only one in the whole park is located on the other side of the river which would involve moving the trailer and driving over an hour. We ended up stopping at on the way back home which cost additional funds. $50 a night is a little more on the expensive end as most other RV parks charge that price with all of the amenities.

The campsite has some significant dips in the cleared area for our vehicle and camping. These dips or big holes collected water and mud that made getting in and out of our camper unpleasant.
