Amazing campground, I have to say there is no SIGNAL, so be aware of that! However, it was the most peaceful and enjoyable experience. Really recommend this place, there was no showers (at least at the loop we were staying at).

Stunning Campground and surroundings. Deer came through multiple times a day!

Beautiful scenery, sites well cared for, quiet, great hikes directly from campground. We used the campsite alert system to obtain a site and it worked perfectly. Campers remember if you are not able to use your reservation, cancel and allow others to enjoy.

We arrived and the next day the biggest snowstorm in 20 years hit. We had the campground practically to ourselves for 2 days. The baked goods at The Gifford House were awesome. The location of the campground to the hiking trails was great. Getting to camp surrounded by orchards was cool! We want to go back when the trees are ready for picking!

This campground is set amongst a historic orchard that was planted in the 1800s. There is a variety of different types of sites and big open field for activities for family. There is wildlife in the campground. The campground does have a dump station in potable water to fill your RV. Beautiful setting in the canyon.

Great campground surrounded by orchards, river and massive rock formations. Large trees provide needed shade for most sites. Ranger programs are at the nearby amphitheater. No hook-ups (as is typical for a National Park campground) so bring plenty of water, empty tanks and solar panels or gen. Well designed dump station is in A loop and has a threaded spigot for potable water. Campground hosts were very friendly and helpful. Be sure to get to the Gifford House Gift shop early in the day if you want to buy any of their delicious pies!

The hosts were fantastic. Hiking was great. Wonderful scenery. A must stop is the Gifford House with their yummy pies and cinnamon rolls.

We loved our time here. The site was great with lots of deer visiting throughout our stay. Enjoyed the close proximity to all the hiking and water. We would definitely come back again to explore some more.
