The campground was very nice because it was not an RV parking lot. It was a good mix of small RVs and tent sites. People were respectful and quiet. The restrooms were clean and had plenty of toilet paper The camp host came by a couple of times.

Clean sites, adequate parking, clean bathrooms, saw rangers regularly and I think that helped keep people following expectations. Great experience!(But it was too cold )

Very large campground. Close to the canyon. Many, many sites were marked as reserved but ended up being empty the whole time. Rec.gov, fix abandoned reservations. You are ruining the outdoor camping experience.

Clean campground and restrooms. Easy bus ride to all areas of the park from the campground. The only con was the camper services showers not well maintained, but were ok to use.

Enjoyable campground, everything was fine, mens bathroom close to our site didn't have any hand soap for two days straight. Be aware of the ravens they are the size of a 20 lb dog- not kidding- and they show up in gangs looking to raid your camps site. There were showers at the campground but only available before noon and you have to pay for them- apx. $2.50 for 5 min. Also because of COVID concerns there was little to nothing going on within the park from park guides.

Inside the park! Great set-up areas, several bathrooms. Never no better bang for the buck to sleep inside what you aim to see the most of.
