Campsite seemed well taken care of.
The first night was hot.
The second night was very very windy. Grit was blowing into our dinner. Had to take our awning down for fear of damage.
Is that what we should expect in a campground in a canyon? maybe. I think this was because a weather front was coming in. So do be prepared.

Lluma Creek was the smaller campground of all of them which made it more private. Sites were a little small. Very limited facilities, but clean pit toilets. No fresh water source. Great place to enjoy river activities.

The campground was very nice! The actual site was very good too! The tent area was sandy and river rocky, but we were able to get tent anchors in. It was quiet overnight except for a train or two across the river. The toilets and grounds were clean and well kept. Quite an enjoyable experience!

Our reservation was given away to another camper and we had to go to another campsite to find a spot.
