The site loop C 008 was really nice! The site was spacious and overall pretty level. Proximity to the bathrooms was great and they were very nice and well maintained. The staff was very friendly!We were only here 1 night but we will be back

I would like for someone to tell me why the park spent thousands of dollars repaving the campground and did not extent the pavement to include the side of the road where larger vehicles/campers obviously have to be off the pavement to go around a curve. Not only that, but because of the new asphalt over the old, the drop off from the pavement can cause the vehicle to drag, potentially causing damage.The campground is old and does not accommodate large vehicles very well, but this would have been a simple improvement if it had been made at the time the repaving was done. If anyone can provide feedback I would appreciate it, but as usual, I think surveys go into a black hole.

The campsites and facilities were wonderful. They have showers and since many people come in big RVs with their own bathroom facilities the showers were always free. The campsites are wooded and not as close together as in many National Park campgrounds. The entire park including the visitor's center is pet friendly.

The RV site we had was the best public campsite space we have stayed at in terms of privacy behind us and size of the space. There had just been a flood, so hiking was a bit difficult, but didn’t keep us from the beauty of the area. The park ranger at the visitor’s center was very helpful. There are some right turns into and out of the camp, but it was doable.

Wonderful, quiet campsite with excellent facilities. We stayed in loop C. Camping pad was nice and large, really well maintained. I loved the dish washing sink on the bathhouse porch (why doesnt every campsite have one of these?!). The playground was perfectly situated in the middle of things, giving our kids plenty to do. And the stars on a clear night are fabulous. We definitely plan to camp here again.

Clean bathrooms, beautiful campsites. Appreciated that the bathrooms were heated very much during the cold nights/mornings.

Great camp ground and staff at one of the most beautiful places Ive ever been!

Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The gravel pads on the campsites in section C were huge and provided plenty of room for our very large tent. There is lots of space and plenty of trees for privacy between each site, as well. The bathhouses were clean, and we really loved the kitchen sink outside the bathhouse to use to wash our dishes. We hiked to Twin Arches and enjoyed lots of time in the water at Leatherwood Ford. We will most definitely be back!
