We stayed at a tent cabin. Easy check in. Cabin Solar provided lighting. Bathrooms and showers were being cleaned regularly. Lots of wildlife. Nice and quiet on a winter weekday. We were hoping to stay thurs-sat but a campground policy wouldnt let us book friday unless we booked saturday too.

It was great but the bathrooms in my loop were closed and we werent notified when we checked in. Had to go back to registration and ask about it. It was unhandy to have to walk to another loop for the bathroom!

Tents and restrooms were clean and well maintained, and the camp store was very well stocked. The only disappointment was that the restroom closest to us was out of order for the entire duration.

The tent was freezing cold since there is no heat. Arrived late and did not have firewood either. The mattress was better than sleeping on the ground but I'd probably have been warmer in an actual tent.

This was an amazing experience, and the park caves were so much more impressive than the pictures show. Absolutely worth the trip.

The tent cabin was convenient...not having to pack tent, set it it and take it down. But way too pricy for what it is. The pool and showers at the campground store were nice amenities especially after a long hike in the heat.
Good

Hiking is great here. Some trails listed as easy should really be listed as moderate to strenuous. Ask around before you go. If its cold doubtful to see Condors. The actual campground could use more showers and more hot water. It would be great if someone would please install some hooks in the ladies restrooms in the campgrounds so when we go to wash faces/ brush teeth/ clean up children, etc, we dont have to juggle holding stuff as one cannot use the floor.
Excellent

The campground was run by a private company, and they do a great job! It was actually much better maintained then most National Park and State Park campgrounds. The tent cabin was clean, easy to use, and a perfect fit for us. Fire pits were well maintained, and overall it was a great camping experience. The park side of things, however, was poorly run and 'egocentric'. They get a lot of weekend traffic, so they closed the main road to Bear Gulch by 9 am both days. The rangers were rude and dismissive, and the shuttle runs once an hour, leading to a 1-2 hour wait. Even campers must wait in a long car line at the entrance, for several hours before getting to their campsite. The rangers act like it's the fault of the visitor, instead of their own poor communication and planning. We got in early one morning to get a parking spot, and noticed the lot was 1/2 empty when we were leaving, but this didn't change the road closure. They say it's closed because there's no parking, but that wasn't the actual case, meaning people were needlessly sitting in their cars for hours. Altogether, very poor performance by the park rangers running this operation.

1) First of all, check in was very easy.2) We had reserved a non-electric tent cabin and were surprised and pleased to learn that solar electric lights had been added. This really helped ease our first night. What we didn't realize was that by using all our solar bank the first night is that we had very little bank for the following night.3) I appreciate the free hot showers, but those shower stalls were tiny, tiny, tiny.
Excellent

The tent cabin itself is nicely appointed with a full bed and two single beds. It has a bench and electricity. However this site was simply an oven and becomes unbearably hot in the afternoon. It is not clear why this location was selected for a tent cabin as there is not outside areas to lounge (you are right on the road). Since you cant be inside and there is no place outside, it is not very inviting. The picnic table and grill station was completely exposed to the sun. Suggest you bring canopies and umbrellas if you want to sit outside. A disappointment.

Was amazing to be able to see condors from our campsite. The tent cabins are fine, but not insulated at all which should be considered when choosing a reservation. With we could have stayed longer. Nice options for hikes and the caves were cool.

We stayed in the tent cabins which were clean, nice and comfortable. As nighttime came, condors were flying among vultures above us and a distant bluegrass band was quietly teasing the stars to come out. A feeling of peace crept through the camp and infected us. A million stars were shining brightly, keeping a light on bats and raccoons. In the morning, a thousand song birds cheered us on to make coffee over the fire place while we watched the ground squirrels play.We had only booked one night, but we will definitely be back. Best camping experience ever.

very clean, accessible and convenient. There's multiple long and short hikes, for any ability.

Too cool for words.

The campground is quite lovely and fun for the kids to ride their bikes around. The pool is small but nice for cooling off in the hot afternoons. If you are staying in the cabins, they are quite clean and spacious and pleasant but COLD at night. The beds were colder than I am used to camping because I wasn't using a camping mat, If I rent a tent cabin again I would bring a Z-lite or similar to keep warmer. Otherwise, great car camping!

Tent cabins are awesome!
@BarbaraL120288 · Camped on Mar 14, 2022 at Campsite #23
The new tent cabins are great. Although, A bit expensive.The only downside was that the product used for cleaning the beds (mattresses) & the tent cabin were so strong smelling that it was nauseating & it never really went away-even overnight. Please change the cleaning product being used. & maybe tell the staff to not use full strength.
@MichaelC616917 · Camped on Feb 25, 2022 at Campsite #23
Clean campground.
@MaryJ521 · Camped on Jan 17, 2022 at Campsite #23
The woman handling check in was very pleasant and helpful, the store was well stocked! We stayed in one of the canvas tent cabins. It was very comfortable and we were prepared for the temperatures. We did have some noisy neighbors that went on past the quiet hours. The raccoons were more respectful than that group of campers. But the hikes were stunning! We definitely plan to return.

Campsites are clean and level. They are not too close to each other and the campground was very quiet despite being full with no empty spots. Nice bonus in that the firewood purchase at the store was delivered to your site after purchasing.
Bathroom was always clean
