Nice clean campground and restroom. Short walk to the shuttle bus stop down to the visitors center. Good tasting water available throughout the loop. Quiet and dark - great for seeing stars.

Pristene grounds; attentive, helpful, pleasant and professional staff. My take-out meal prepared in the Cafe was delicious! And I loved being able to walk it off along the Pueblo (something) Loop. Beautiful country.

We booked two RV sites in loop C, the nature and view was amazing, near the campground we saw a big rattlesnake. The campground is very good and quite, the restrooms are very clean.

Once settled in, it was a great campground. However, reservations and getting a spot were difficult, with a lot of conflicting information from recreation.gov, the billboard on site, and how things actually work. For B loop, you must use recreation.gov -- no way around it after you get there, no way to adjust. Calling recreation.gov, they say "talk to the people on site." On site, the rangers say "talk to recreation.gov; we have nothing to do with it." The poster at the campground says to call a number for assistance -- the local visitor center. First, it's impossible with cell phone reception, so it's a hike or a shuttle ride to the visitor center (to get the above information). Ugh. Your best bet is to get a site on loop A when you first arrive, and pay at the box. Then go hike somewhere to get cell service to find a spot you really want after personally looking at loop C and B. Loop B, however, has few sites with level pads; most are at quite a tilt. Loop A has better pads. Shade is an issue in the summer -- hard to tell online which are shaded, but loop C has the best chance of shade.
