What a nice campground for an overnight stay near Highway 50 on our way to Utah! They recently updated the campsites with new picnic tables and the pit toilet bathrooms were clean. It's a nice area to walk around. The only issue was the mosquitos which were out in force at dawn and dusk but we were able to avoid them by hanging out in our Clamshell tent. The camp host was very nice. Next time we drive through we'll stay longer so we can check out the other activities in the area.

Loved this campground but we arrived to find someone else in our spot, and the host was no where to be found. We ended up just setting up camp in a neighboring spot that wasn’t reserved. The trees allow some privacy between each site and great for hammocking :)

Park itself is amazing. Camp Host was amazing. Best advice: Bring your own campsite map prior to arrival and don't follow the parks directional signs if you're going to loop B. Internet is available. Park is clean and well maintained.

Great place for a group gathering, go there every year, only down fall is 2 years now with no outside water. You would think they would have that resolved by now.

Spent the night there in early Sept 2022, very pleasant, but way to hot to be there in the daytime. Heat dome weather when we were there. Probably a great place to be in Oct. or Nov.

You should have posted no water when booking since there hasn’t been water here in over 24 months!
