Clean, quiet, rangers are friendly, 15 minutes from town.

This campsite is practically at the edge of town and thus has water. However, this may also attract 'party-campers', with loud music and conversations deep into the night. Campsites are large, but in some of the sites a flat area for even a small tent is difficult to find. Great day loop hikes directly out of the campsite.

Great facility, a bit hard to navigate finding the campsite in the dark, but overall, really good experience and conveniently located!

The campground itself was great. I chose it because it did have facilities which were clean and easy to access from the campsite. Unfortunately, the timing for my visit wasn't great and yeah I know, it's the desert, but there was a heat advisory making it a bit warmer than expected. It did seem like most sites around did have some shade which did require moving my chair every 15-20 minutes. Better than no shade at all.

This is a great location to camp if you want be at the park without really being in it. It is close to town to grab supplies and have a great time if you have a larger group. I was camping alone so it was a good place for some quiet time. If you want to see more of the park I would suggest a campsite within the park, but you can still easily make day trips from this one.

Drive into the park is 20-25 minutes away but there are some trails connected to this camp ground. The sites were a bit close together for my liking but that's par for the course out here. Cell phone service was good; I used my booster to help get enough bars to work using internet. Overall clean, well kept.

This was my 3rd visit in one month. That says it all! Love this campsite! Beautiful grounds, many trash and recycling bins throughout, clean bathrooms. Friendly park rangers as well! Great place for families or solo campers! Must also visit Pioneer Town nearby.
Highly recommend!

The campground was nice but not near as scenic as others in the park.
