We stayed at Atlatl Rock campground pretty briefly at the beginning of May. Due to a variety of circumstances, we got on the road much later than we anticipated and arrived super late, and when we got there it was so hot that we hardly slept and left fairly soon after sunrise. It really is a shame, because it was absolutely stunning and the campground itself was excellent.

The campsites all have covered picnic areas (awesome), potable water spigots (ultra awesome), firepits, and grills. In the winter/fall/spring, I think this would be probably one of the coolest places in the entire world to camp. But when we were there? It was honestly unbearably hot. It was 92 degrees at 2am, and none of us slept (especially our poor puppy, who had never camped before and is still learning how to deal with being uncomfortable) more than a few hours at maximum. I was certainly envious of all of the people in their campers with their air conditioning running!

The bathrooms are large and clean, and there are plentiful showers (which were closed when we were there, or I would've taken an icy cold shower in an attempt to cool down). Amenity wise, this campground is pretty much the tops, and I know the campground has no control over the temperature, but it definitely had a huge impact on our experience. We already have plans to go back in the winter (REAL, ACTUAL winter) to be able to genuinely enjoy it!
