Look Rock Campground offers a peaceful and clean camping experience with well-maintained facilities and friendly hosts. Many visitors appreciate the availability of electric and water hookups at select sites, as well as the quiet atmosphere and opportunities for wildlife sightings, including bears. However, some amenities, like showers and reliable cell service, are lacking, and noise from nearby traffic can be a concern for some campers. Overall, it is a lovely spot for those seeking a tranquil getaway in nature.

Very nice campground. We were there for the fall foliage which was beautiful. Short walk to Look Rock Tower for fantastic views! Only issue we had was that the city water pipe had a serious leak so we used our tank for the most part. However, this was around 2 weeks after re-opening so they were still working out the kinks.

What a wonderful fall experience!!!! The newly renovated campground was awesome. The campground host were friendly and very helpful. I think every camper should come to Look Rock campground,they won't be disappointed. Furthermore our first time in 60 years of camping in National Parks having an electric and water hook up. 10 sites here have them. So bigger spoiled camper can enjoy it too. Lol
Over all this campground rocks!!!!

First time staying at this campground after it was reopened this year. I was not prepared for how beautiful it is! I had never been to this side of the park before staying here. I will definitely be back. Yes, it is a bit loud from being so close to Foothills Parkway, but I am not a very heavy sleeper and it wasn't so bad that I would reconsider coming back to Look Rock. However I was there in November so there may be more traffic in warmer months.

We used the access road to hike to Look Rock tower, then found the trail to hike back to the picnic area/campground. It's a paved trail! Signage would be helpful so more people can find this trail. The trail does not appear on the Avenza Map even though there is signage for it from the access road near the tower. There are very steep sections.
This is a good campground for rest and relaxation. It is not near "things to do" other than the tower. You will need to get in a car and drive several miles to reach trail heads and water.

Improve water pressure in bathroom toilets. Three flushes with solid waste. Also need signage on the parkway to point down to campground.

Great campground overall. Nicely located in a much less crowded area compared to other areas of the park. We had site A51, which was nice. However, the walk to the bathroom was a bit longer than I'm used to, the area around the campfire ring is on a slope and the tent pad square was not smoothed out so we were on a large hump. Other than that the campground was very nice to stay at.
