The campground is exactly as it is advertised. We had some trouble with bees around meal times but were pleasantly surprised to not have any mosquitoes. There are so many great things to do in the local area, from really challenging hikes to easier ones, such as the Ice Cave and Natural Bridges, which are so close to the campground. The camp hosts did a great job of keeping the toilets clean and stocked with toilet paper.

Late summer camping once the schools have started is the best. The campground was nearly empty. Very quiet except for some ATV campers across the ravine from us who talked really loud, but they followed the quiet hours. It’s a very, very dusty campground but close to trails

It was a great space for our church camping weekend. We ate and played together. Some hiked to Natural Bridges. Lots of room for 10-12 camping units. Clean restrooms.
