It has amazing campsites! Easter weekend they were all first come first serve and they are all great sites. Of course, some are better than others. They have bear proof lock boxes at each campsite to secure wood and other items. They have fire pits and grills at each site as well. It did decide to snow Friday night so it got pretty cold but it made for a beautiful Easter weekend out of the Valley ❤️🏕️

Great Creek. Lots of crawdads. Some camping spots are a bit close together, and on weekends the sound of the road can be annoying at night - but overall a great spots for kids and adults to hang out and cool down under the trees and play in the creek. Good access to the rim, lakes and fish hatchery nearby.

It would been a 5 star if only the toilets weren't possibly the worst ever. There was no staff onsite and every single toilet was super stinky and unhygienic with flies all around. These were pit toilets with no ventilation whatsoever. If only we had known or researched this beforehand, would probably have skipped the campground altogether. That being said, the campground itself is beautiful with tall palm trees all around. Every site comes with bear proof box, which we saw for the first time (and got a little scared too ). The sites were well spread out and still didn't feel too far away. There is a little creek which was fun. We had a blast overall, if only not for the restrooms.

Nice large camp sites that are clean and spread out. Creek with crawdads goes around it. Bathrooms are cleaned regularly. Vault toilets no sinks or other services. But there are water facets for drinking, dishes, etc. Heard elk not far away. Nice it’s far from the road so you can’t hear highway traffic except for loud semi trucks. Host was great! Super helpful!

Based on the reviews being positive...I was surprised to find a dirty and rustic site with one shared very dirty unisex bathroom for 6 campsites. It was disgusting. The other restroom didn't lock. Keep in mind it's about 16 people using one toilet. We picked up trash around the campsite for the next campers since it's not done by the hosts. The squirrels are cute, fun, and little scavengers.... so watch out! Other than that... the creek is cool, the trees are shadyand my family had a nice time and the other campers around were polite. We had site #13 and #14 and there were plenty of tent spots to choose from. Kids love playing in the creek catching the crayfish and minnows with their nets.
