OK for camping, some sites have more shade. HIking at the end of the road, and up Thomas Canyon was great.

Camp Host this year did not take notice to the pit toilets, which were so full that the waste touched the base of the white plastic you sit on. His solution was to just lock the door and not leave a note to why it was locked.

Then he was unaware of two volleyball sized hornet nests up by the other pit toilets. The nests were active. His idea was to cut them down into a garbage can. Then he thought to call the Forest Rangers. When we left the nests were still there and the pit toilet still locked with no note.

Then the host didn’t quiet a group playing dance music after night.

The site is beautiful. The host change every year.

One of the most beautiful places my wife and I have ever been…..and I’ve been to the real Alps!!
This awesome place out in the middle of Nevada was unreal and the hikes were fantastic!!
We are going to try and get a spot in late spring when even more waterfalls are running and snow is hanging on the cathedral walls surrounding the camp grounds.

Great location with great views! A stream runs through the campground, and you can swim in it!

This campsite is one of my favorites ever, this spot was just not the best. It's right off the trail so it feels like there's constantly people walking through your campsite.

Facilities very clean, and campground was well organized with clearly marked spots. The only issue is that it seems to be common practice for people to place “reserve” tickets at first-come-first-serve spots. Many had handwritten payment tickets to “hold” spots for dates that were in the future, but these were different than the printout reservation slips.

Two adults and two children in our family enjoyed our site with room for our vehicle and two tents. There was shade later in the afternoon (Site 29). We hiked from the trailhead nearby - steep at first, but beautiful. Restrooms were stocked and cleaned a few days earlier. The drawback was the lack of camp host for support when we arrived at our designated time and the previous occupants had stayed on, thinking that they had a longer reservation. Actually, they had reserved another site and had expected to move, but didn't have clear records where they were supposed to go. Within a half hour, they cooperated by moving and finding the correct site with their name.
