Aquila Vista was a serene, beautiful experience. You get the whole park to yourselves, there's a lot of trails to walk around and explore. I would recommend reserving this spot if you like being by yourself in nature.
However, there were a couple things to note: lots and lots of rats/mice in the area. Do not leave ANY food outside of your vehicle. A bushy tailed wood rat made a nest in the engine bay of my boyfriend's truck within 12 hours of being there, we just kept disturbing it and it finally went away thankfully. One last note, they should put up some signs along the trails where the park intersects other public hiking trails. We did have a couple walk right through our camp, like 5 ft away from our stuff because they came in from another trail. They just walked around for awhile in the park we payed to reserve, because there's nothing indicating that it's a private reservable area until you're in the campground. So just be aware you may not be alone the whole time.
Either way, completely worth it for the cost of reservation! We will come back.
