This is a gorgeous spot. Be aware, there is ZERO cell service in or around the campground and you have to drive a mile or so up to the visitor center to get service from their WiFi. Make reservations ahead of time. Construction is going on now beside the campground. Lots of traffic from the trucks in and out. But they werent too loud. Also, get the pie. We enjoyed our stay here. The camp host was wonderful and it was nice having him around.

Good site with close access to scenic drive. Deer frequent the campground near site.

Great campground, a little early in the season for the fruit trees. We had a great time

Perfectly located within the park. Grand Wash was a family favourite and the night sky was something we will never forget.

One of our favorite campgrounds.

Wildlife in the area is wonderful, and access to the National Park is great...it was very hot for our stay, but that was the only negative.

Camp hosts did a fabulous job!

Beautiful location, lots of wildlife (stay 25ft away please), clean bathrooms, close to the river/orchards/walking paths/sights/NPS talks and visitor center, epic night time skies and sunsets. It’s a well run campground in the heart of Southern Utah.
Only downfall was the lack of privacy with all the open space and little distance between campsites. I prefer solitude, but I guess that’s what you get with paying for normal camping.

The way I see it, I'm renting an outdoor hotel with a table and fire ring. How hard would it be for someone to clean the paper trash from the fire pit and wipe down the table, from what I can only hope was BBQ Sauce? The 2 free campgrounds, Cedar Mesa & Cathedral Valley were much cleaner . Lazy Gov't employees, can't be fired and never cleaned anything, including the nasty Mens bathroom. Yes, someone had a habit of folding toilet paper to put on the seat, then when finished, throwing it on the ground!
Avoid any sites next to the orchards, as the Noisy poachers are picking free fruit from before sunset till midnight, regardless of whether anything is ripe. No signs directing people to the proper orchard, as that would require supervision of employees.
I love the National Park, but who ever is in charge of the campgrounds, needs to be reassigned to cleaning vault toilets by hand.

No electric spots for RV, so if it's really hot outside, you'll be hot! Great ranger talk. Excellent pies at Gifford House!

Very good hiking opportunities. Campgrounds were well maintained with plenty of shade. The restrooms were very clean.

Delightful campground. It would be nice to have one of the 3 loops be generator-free.

The campground hosts were so kind and made us and our kids feel very welcome. They answered all of our questions and gave us good information. Our site was right by the orchards and the trees were just starting to blossom. Our kids especially loved seeing the deer wandering around camp. The campground was very clean and well taken care of.
