The group campsite was in excellent condition, and the campground host most helpful. The large covered ramada served us well, during rainstorms and hot sun. You don't control the weather, but we really lucked out with not-too-hot and a little bit of afternoon monsoon rains. My group will come back again!!

If you're not rating this a 5-star campground I'm not sure what else you need to have a good time in the mountains 🤷🏽‍♂️ There is so much space for campers, roof-top tents and just tents! Then you add the pavilion (with lights), picnic tables, running water, built-in grill, fire pit, trash can, electrical outlets and a pit toilet 20 steps away...everything you need for an amazing weekend!

Tim the camp host was a very cool guy to talk with and was genuinely interested in making sure our site was good. He did politely remind us of some of the rules (like dogs on a leash) but was also equally as firm with enforcing the rules to other loud campers in the west site. Really appreciated him checking on us daily.

Our only 'nit' is that the firepit is overly large (circumference wise). Meaning, you have to burn a ton of wood to get a fire going that those along the edge can appreciate and stay warm. We used a Solo Stove instead.

Overall, wonderful stay. Very close access to the O'Leary trail (hiking) and other OHV trails. You are up a couple thousand feet compared to Fort Tuthill so be aware of possible micro-climate differences at this location.

We stayed here as our last night of a 19 day trip with a large geology class. The campground is yuge! Lots of room for tents, and it has a very big covered area with tables, fire pits etc. All in all a very nice campground. The only complaint that the students had is that the pit toilets were the smelliest most disgusting ones we had to deal with on the trip (we went from Glendale AZ, all the way up to Glacier NP and back).
