A great remote campground. We stayed here in order to visit both Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks. Well situated for visiting the sites nearby. Fewer people, which after days spent in the throngs at the national parks, was a nice reprieve. The lake is scenic, and an easy walk to visit. We saw a bald eagle hunting on the lake from the nearby trees. Water was available when we visited, which was more than we expected, with the outages at some other national parks in the region. Sites were clean and well marked. Cell service is not great, but the quiet really made up for it.

Restrooms were clean. Camp was in great condition. Staff was friendly. I seriously don't understand why RV people have to run their generator every waking hour of the day. These people drove all the way out into the middle of nowhere where there is beautiful scenery and they spend their entire time inside their RV with their generator running to annoy everyone else. It would be nice if more campgrounds could designate specific campsites away from everyone else for generator usage so the rest of the campers could enjoy some piece and quiet in the outdoors.

Nice campground. Out of the way and 40 minutes from Bryce. Quiet. Plenty of first come/first serve which were just about all empty while we were there in mid September. We had a 28 foot boondocking rig. Easy back in spot, site 21.
