The campground was nice. Lots of shade but the yellow jackets were so bad it was hard to ‘enjoy being out side

Clean and well layed out. Good shade and big spots. The real bonus... the camp host, he was very attentive and kept the vault toilet clean... well as clean as a vault toilet can be. We felt very secure and had no worries, the camp host patroled regularly and would make a drive through everytime someone pulled in. He was very kind and Inloved his blind dog ❤️ One downside was the road was close and they were doing construction and had cars stopped directly across the creek bed from our spot (#6).

Yes, it's right near the highway. Yes, it is impacted by traffic noise. But somehow, it was still so peaceful. Plus, it gave us great heat-relief from our trips to Zion and Bryce during the recent "heat dome." Such nice cool breezes during the day and an amazing view of the stars/Milky Way at night. Plus, the campground host is so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. (Shout out to David!) Campsite - 06

It's too close to a steep part of the highway. To noisy to enjoy why I came there.

The campground is kept clean. Our site, 7, is large and shaded. The RV pads are shallow and not easy to back into.
