So much to do at that campground. Hiking in the morning and then enjoying the pool during evening time was the best experience my kids can ask.

Poor camping experience - no quiet hour enforcementHad to leave after one night despite having a weekend reservation. A large group at the adjacent group campsite was extremely loud from 8 PM until midnight Friday, then again starting at 6:30 AM Saturday. The noise was so excessive we couldn't have a normal conversation at our own site. Multiple other campers in our section also left Saturday morning due to the same issue. No park rangers were present to enforce quiet hours or address the situation. While the park itself is beautiful, the lack of staff oversight during peak camping times seriously impacts the camping experience. Would not recommend camping here on weekends without better noise enforcement.

Had one goal to hike the Condor Gulch- High Peaks Trail and was able to do it with the entire park basically to ourselves. Campsite had a creek running through it which gave the site a nice ambiance to it. Overall a great stop before heading up to the bay.

Great trails and uniquely beautiful gulches, soaring condors and vultures circling the peaks, and the campground is fine. Even Bacon Ranch is an interesting site.

Great sites, showers, bathrooms. Raccoons are down-right scary - they screamed at night and sounded like feral pigs

The rangers were fabulous.

Was really cold in morning, low 40's, to high 80's in afternoon. I camped May 10-13. Start early for long hikes and bring plenty of water. Beautiful time of year. Saw Condor's and lots of Turkey Vultures. Great National Park! Plan accordingly.

Great camping and great hikes. We went in late March to see wildflowers and were not disappointed. There are great hikes of various lengths. The only issue is that the shuttles are not running due to CoVID so add 2 miles to most of the hikes just to get from your camp site to many of the popular trails launch point (bear gulch). There is very limited parking at bear gulch and it fills up early (was full with multiple cars waiting by 10am).
