Great campground, close to the lake.

Have camped here several times and have loved it. About 1.3 mile hike to the lake. There is a marina to rent fishing boats with trolling motors. Normal camp “facilities”. A little further off of Rim road, so the motor vehicle noise is less, however, the campsite is very close to woods canyon road, and the traffic of people driving to the lake is a bit heavy at times. Overall, still a beautiful and awesome escape back to nature for the most part. My kids love it up there.

Nice place near attractions

This campground is a very close to Woods canyon lake or a short walk to the rim. Pretty crowded on the weekends but a nice place to stay.

Great for large group

This would be an amazing spot to rent if you have a large group. There are 2 large Ramadas in the middle of the campground that can be used for a party, dinner, services of any type, etc. all the spots are level and have a table and fire ring.
