Got to our sites around 7pm and had plenty of time to set up. The people across from us were up partying until 3am and being very loud. I won't stay here again.

Campsite was good. Plenty of picnic tables and bear boxes. Pretty good views of the canyon walls even from camp and only a 10 minute drive from the trailheads at roads end. Restrooms were in a sorry state. In the one closest to us one toilet and the dish sink were out of commission and the one remaining toilet leaked.

Amazing time, be prepared for bears and maybe some weather. Eat before dark it's just easier. You can collect downed wood, drive towards roads end and check all the pullouts. A bow saw will help a great deal but not required.
