Absolutely love this camp ground!! Amazing rocks, super clean and close to town if you forgot something or need more wood. Only issue is this little section gets SUPER WINDY! Like vortex windy so be prepared :)

Sites 43 & 44 share a parking area. The total width is equivalent to or maybe slightly larger than 4 regular parking lot spaces. Both sites only had one van each during our stay so it was okay but I could see it getting uncomfortable if there were multiple vehicles at each site.

Love this place. Every site had a reserved sign on it, but campground only about 40% full? Very sad.

Great campsite but a couple things to prepare for to make it a 5 star stay. The parking area and the tent site is not right next to each other. Its no big deal but if you have small kids or a lot of gear, be prepared to make several trips when you setup or pack up. Also, it gets really windy in the afternoon and evening so make sure to take guy lines to prevent your tent from blowing away.

Beautiful setting with campsites nestled among the granite outcroppings. Sites have good separation.

Clean campsite and restroom. Only negative would be proximity to adjacent sites. Park was beautiful - highly recommend making a reservation for the Keys ranch tours, making the 7 mile round trip hike to lost oasis, and casual climbing at Jumbo Rocks.

We had spot 43 and loved it. The surroundings are stunning.

This was our first family camping trip together and it was wonderful. The ranger at the ranger station was very kind. The vaulted toilet was closer to the campsite than expected and each cluster of sites seemed to have one near by too. The scenery is beautiful we stayed at site 43 and behind us was almost like a small ridge you could walk to and below it was a small valley with other sites along the sides; it was perfect place to watch the sun set. There were strong gusts of wind at night so check conditions before going and plan accordingly.
