We loved our stay at Gulpha Gorge. We arrived on a Tuesday night to no vacancy, but a woman intersected us to tell us they were leaving at 7am the next day. So we stayed overnight at a Walmart and got back in time to take their spot.

We were very fortunate that the site was level and also creekside. If you’re able, definitely scope a level, creekside spot. Some sites have grills whereas others have fire rings. 42 has a grill with holes in the bottom; but that’s my only complaint about the entire experience.

Verizon has great cell coverage - enough to stream video. ATT not so much. You can walk one of the trails into the city (45 min walk) and to the tower. There are plenty of other trails; all accessible through the campgrounds
