Campground was beautiful – bathrooms clean, and there was even a shower! Gorgeous, full moon. Other campers were very quiet, except for a group of young teenage punks that came in after dark and made noise for quite a while. I finally talked to them, asking them to be respectful. Saturday afternoon Rangers were incredibly helpful in helping me register for a campsite. Sunday morning visitor center ranges not so much… Glad it wasn’t very busy!

The Ranger in the office helped me register. I extended for a few more days with his help because there was computer problems. The young people working the desk could not help. Glad he was there. Sp 171

Super remote! Didn’t see another soul all weekend. Really beautiful views and a great hike into the canyon right next to you. Bring a spare tire as the gravel roads are rough on vehicles. A 2 inch rock ripped right through my Tacoma’s rear tire on the way in and luckily I had a spare. Without I would have been stranded 15 miles from the nearest person.
