This campground is convenient for putting on the river, but the outhouses are very stinky and waft into the sites.

Love, love, love that you had, and I was able to use, the QR reservation/payment system. It worked, albeit slowly (as one would expect in a remote area). But it worked great. Ranger Ben was also awesome, informative and professional. Great time before launching onto Westwater Canyon.

We weren't able to make full use of our site due to some circumstances beyond our control, but it seemed like a good site for a night. It would have rated higher had we actually been able to check in. We tried with the ranger, who was really nice, but he couldn't help. We were FORCED to use a phone to scan the QR code, but it would NOT scan. Every time we tried, we got a popup saying it's an invalid code! THIS SYSTEM ISN'T READY FOR THIS!!!
