Great USFS campsite next to Bryce. Very comfortable and well maintained. There seemed to have been a fluke causing water issues, but the drinking water spigots were still functioning, and I figure altogether I cannot complain.

We loved this campground. There was enough space. The bathrooms were close and clean. The camp host was helpful. The lake and hiking trails were close by. We kayaked and fished at the lake.

We love this campsite and have come to visit with our family multiple times. It’s quiet and tucked back in the trees. We bring paddle boards and water toys to play in the reservoir and it’s a short drive over to Bryce Canyon. Excellent camp host!

Great campground set in the trees. Clean bathrooms, respectful neighbors. Lots of other families around. Having the reservoir nearby was a treat, and the proximity to Bryce Canyon NP is even better.

The campground is well kept and clean. It was quiet at night so we could sleep good. The camp host was friendly and easy to work with. There were a few spots at the edge of the campground where fire damage was done.
