Without electric hookups this makes it very hard to camp in an RV during 100 degree heat. We tried but sleeping in 90 degree was no good. Therefore we stayed 7 days shorter and we camped in Torrey

This is a very nice site, sitting at the edge of one of the orchards. We did have to level, but not much. Deer were roaming the area and made for great pictures.

It was a great campground for our family! Shaded sites, large blacktop pads and accessible to the fremont river for wading and exploring. We took in the views of the horses and horsebarn and took advantage of the trail right outside the camp ground.
The kids loved the cinnamon rolls from the gifford house the next morning!
Great stay.

Very beautiful campground! We were next to the orchards and a walking path in B36. The only complaint is the campsite was a little difficult to get into because the paved parking pad is straight on, not on an angle to make making in easy. The neighbor across from us was kind enough to move his truck from his paved parking pad so we had enough room to back in. Our trailer is 26 feet at it fit front to back of the pad, even though this site says it fits 29 feet. Campsite hosts was kind, in walking distance to Gifford House, and has an amphitheater with ranger programs. I highly recommend this campground. Just a smaller trailer/RV in this spot.

We were very disapointed this time.
The work on the street repair of the scenic drive just behind the campground was very loud.
The big trucks loaded with tar smelled the whole das until late evening.
