Great campground. Loop c has no generators.
@InaMCC0BA12E65 · Camped on Sep 3, 2024 at Campsite #19
The camp site was perfect for our RV as it was recently worked on to make it level. The views were spectacular. The host was very helpful and friendly.
@JanetS5249327 · Camped on Sep 3, 2024 at Campsite #15
Poor campground design. Very little privacy. Also, when we arrived, a dump truck was in our campsite and they were doing construction the entire time on the site next to ours with loud heavy machinery. The light from the bathroom was shining right in our camper window all night.

great host
@BenjaminCAB29F · Camped on Sep 1, 2024 at Campsite #39
Staff was really awesome and beautiful campsite. However, road has a lot of potholes and their size were huge so that my car has bottom damages.
@RickC6666798 · Camped on Sep 1, 2024 at Campsite #37
Biggest campsite I've ever had. Big enough to park a semi. And moreover less on a cliff.
@CandiV8964D23F · Camped on Aug 29, 2024 at Campsite #21
I gave this camp site a 5 because of the clean bathrooms, and it is close to the hiking trails. I especially liked the friendly onsite person keeping an eye on the campsite.

best camp host ever
@Christoph38781 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #45
2nd time we have stayed here. Friends were visiting from out of town and it is a great stress free place to get some views and have facilities while camping. Beautiful campground with great tent sites. If it wasn't 22/site to stay we would even stay there ourselves on a casual night.
@DanK6653884 · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #17
Lovely views from the top of the mess. Clean bathrooms, nice camp host!
@PegK080F71A342 · Camped on Aug 22, 2024 at Campsite #36
Beautiful and well maintained campground.
@LaraL6379010 · Camped on Aug 22, 2024 at Campsite #29
Camp host Terri was unprofessional, we reserved our location late at night and were woken up to interrogations the next morning at 8am. After we confirmed booking as valid, he wrote us a warning ticket for nonpayment. We paid. We had email receipt. Very strange behavior, reported to Ranger Miki but nothing came of it. Will avoid this place in the future.
@JosephK3270251 · Camped on Aug 20, 2024 at Campsite #57
Quiet CG with lots of activities near by. Hiking, scenic drives, visitor center next door, attentive and friendly CG Host. Evening prorams were very good. Lots of wildlife to view. Many beautiful rock formations. Excellent National Monument.
@CristinaM34003 · Camped on Aug 20, 2024 at Campsite #12
Pullthru Site 12 was large enough to park my Casita perpendicular to avoid the sun on my fridge vent. Park Ranger stopped by to make sure I was good for the night. Camp host was friendly.
@MonicaV4103DD7 · Camped on Aug 17, 2024 at Campsite #71

@JohnG7676070 · Camped on Aug 17, 2024 at Campsite #31
wonderful stay, pleasant views, clean restroom, and great location
@ChiaHuiHD95721 · Camped on Aug 17, 2024 at Campsite #76
Very clean bathroom! Spectacular views!
@LaurelR9280912 · Camped on Aug 14, 2024 at Campsite #50
Beautiful site and great experience. We added a night because we enjoyed the first so much.
@BillC8113752 · Camped on Aug 14, 2024 at Campsite #38
One of the cleanest campgrounds Ive ever been to. The bathrooms are kept spotless. The upgrades of new asphalt roads and tent pads make it very attractive campground. The staff are the most kindest people youll ever meet. The camp host, Terry, is very helpful and knowledgeable. The visitor center has really great souvenirs to choose from and the staff is so willing to help with any questions you may have. The Park Rangers patrol the area and keep everyone safe. It is an awesome place to visit, with numerous trails and awesome views.
@AngieJ4992676 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #21
Terry the campHost is on topOf everything. He is friendly and helpful. He deserves a raise.
@JamesF9843907 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #26
The camp ground is high up and the view is amazing. The campground was also very quiet even though it was 1/2 full. Really enjoyed my stay.
@LorraineB28049 · Camped on Aug 8, 2024 at Campsite #43
This is a beautiful campground in a gorgeous park. The sites are spaced well and feel secluded. The only complaint would be that we were on ground so hard we couldnt put stakes into the ground. However, they are rebuilding some (all?) of the sites to remedy this situation. If your tent doesnt need stakes its a non-issue.One of the things I loved about this place was how clean and nice the restrooms were. I hope other visitors will help keep them that way.
@EmmanuelS682EF · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #36
Clean, wonderful view, very nice manager.
@JohnW4841416 · Camped on Jul 27, 2024 at Campsite #42
As always the views were spectacular; been here multiple times and it is still wonderful. We ventured out to the edge of the canyon near the tent only loop and were treated to a flock of white-throated swifts repeatedly buzzing over us as they fed on the evening insect flights. This is a small but remarkable park...still in my top ten places to spend a night or two.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
