RangerOutstanding
Our 2nd visit here, glad we came back. Just spectacular scenery & hiking. Mesquite loop is great, and quiet.
Only negative, and it's minor, is the park is always under a burn ban, so plan accordingly for your meals. No fires or charcoal grills allowed.
GuideGreat and big spot
Tour with my husband and adult son in march 2024
Stayed at 082 at the Mesquite.
Bathrooms they had , a little cold water.
We got there at a super hot day , and decied to do walk before park the RV 28 foot to our spot. Since it was later in day and I wanted to go to the lighthouse.
Great to walk in trail s there ,bring lot s of water and some snack.
walked for hours then back to the RV and down to the campground
Very open spot with view of the mountains around , can see the other campers too.
had this overbuild patio to sit under if wanted.
Funny thing tought it was very hot the day we arravied ,the next morning I dressed up in my normal camping shorts and sandals and hoodie early in the morning , the temperatures was dropped a lot true the night and i got out of the RV with my coffee in my hand and tought I was going to sit outside in my chair and enjoy it . I backed inside rapid and got leggings and boots on ,then I could enjoy the view of the sun raise.

Overall Rating: 5 this is a spectacular Campground. Every site has a view. My favorite sites are listed below. But all sites have the advantage of a view of beautiful geology surrounding the campground. I would say this is the best campground in the park.
