Pretty decent!
We ended up here pretty late on a Thursday night and luckily found a spot. The campsites are close together so that is not great but they are clean at least. There are awesome views from the rim if you are able to get a site on the edge.
Amazing sunset and plenty of space
I got here around 6pm and was greeted by an incredible sunset. As I tend to do, I went pretty far down the road past the other campers. Lots of space for exploring, hiking, or reading a book. Bugs were few, but I did use bug spray.
Mountain view’s
Beautiful campground, but get here early. It’s small (~20 sites) and if you’re lucky you can get close to the rim.
