Convenient spot, but crowded

Pros:

- Very convenient to Roosevelt NP. Could be walked if needed. 

- Despite being quite full/crowded when I was there, it was quiet at night.

- The hosts were very kind, they came around each evening checking if the guests were ok and if they needed anything.

Cons:

- It was listed online as $3 a night with people who verified that's what they paid, but I got there to find the box for paying listing $10 a night, so that's what I paid. Couldn't find the host to ask before paying.

- Given the geography of the locale, there was zero shade. in Mid-August this meant blistering temps close to 100 and nowhere to go to cool off since I was tent camping.

- It was crowded and there is no privacy between sites given the lack of trees or other natural barriers.

- There is no firewood to be gathered nearby. Bring wood if you're planning on a fire.

Sidenote: I didn't realize I was exactly right on the line where the time zone changes. I wanted to get to the visitor's center right when they opened to not get on the trail too late, but ended up there an hour after they opened! Something to keep in mind.
