Gentry Group Campground is a great location for groups as it has options to spread out and socialize. Recreation says up to 64 people, however, I would disagree and say 30 at max. The camp host was really nice and accommodating. The roads heading up to the campground however were a bit rough. Some locations have sand and gravel, while most of the road is bumpy with larger rock mounds, so you'll definitely need a larger suv or truck. It's a great place for atv and side by side, as there are many trails.

I am sure this would have been a wonderful campground, but we weren't able to make it because of how rocky and bumpy the road was. Please note that you will need a high-clearance SUV or truck to make it to the campsite (I wish the reservation site would have made note of this). Sedans will scrape underneath. While we didn't receive a refund, we shared our situation with the camp host at Black Canyon Rim campground (where we went to as a nearby back-up) and he kindly comped our two-night stay there. This area is beautiful and a lot less busy than the Woods Canyon Lake area!

This site was perfect for our family and had an scenic amazing view! There was portable water which was a nice bonus. Bob the camp host was very knowledgeable of the area, friendly and even took some of our trash. People did stop to see the view and use the restroom but wasn't a huge deal. The road was a little rough so I wouldn't come here with a car. We went to Black Canyon Lake one of the days to have a nice picnic and went for a walk along the lake. There was a cute skunk who was harmless but curious and wild horses that came into our camp. I would definitely recommend this spot if you like peace and quiet away from other campers. We will be back for sure in the near future.

Gentry is amazing. The only thing that was unexpected and that I can't stand is that the vault toilet is basically a public restroom because of the scenic lookout. For $90 per night the restroom should be for campers only.
