Beautiful and (mostly) quiet

Due to its location, it is pretty quiet. However, because of the cliffs on two sides, noises can be amplified (like the person who used an impact drill for their jacks on their fifth wheel to leave at 7am).

Pros:

  • Tucked away, but right off the highway.
  • Congenial ranger to check us in.
  • Fairly big space, with enough room for slideouts and our awning. Though it did feel like our awning was just slightly in the roadway due to angle.
  • $30/night for most sites.
  • Beautiful sunrises/sunsets.
  • Boat launch ramp.
  • Picnic table and grill included at most sites.

Cons:

  • Wifi is spotty, even the ranger was up front about it. Add in folks trying to stream and hogging bandwidth...
  • Our T-Mobile cel phones had no reception at all. We could use the wifi, but could not get calls or texts. Not sure of other providers.
  • This is partial hookup (water/electric) with a dump station, like most of the state parks on the Colorado River.
