Clean bathrooms, friendly hosts, and unique amenities like fruit picking contribute to a memorable camping experience.

I read the website incorrectly and thought we could use our generator in areas A & B. I shared my concerns with staff at the visitors center because my husband has a CPAP machine. The Park Ranger and staff switched us to the handicap site for one of our two nights, which we truly appreciated. They went above and beyond to make us comfortable.
Just a note to whoever is in charge of the website please clarify and further detail use of generators, I know we were not the only visitors who missed that generators could not be used.

Beautiful scenery! Highly recommended. Only bad side is no shower. I used it as a home base, it's a beautiful drive to some of the other National Parks such as Canyon Land and Arches.

Site C068 was an amazing campsite! This entire site was well shaded, and also was a short walk from bathrooms, water, and dumpsters. This site is on the corner of the campsite and overlooks the orchards and field, which many deer passed through. There is an orchard irrigation system that runs right along this campsite, which makes for great white noise if you don't mind running water sounds. There is the freemont river trail about 100 yards away that takes you to the river to cool off and goes along a beautiful horse pasture with a mom and baby horse. The trail continues to an incline with views. Make sure to get a warm, fresh pie from the Gifford house when they open at 9am, before they sell out.
