As one camper noted, "This campground is very close to the quaint little town of Conconully, which isn't a bad thing. The campsites are all very open with no shade or privacy." Cell service can be spotty throughout the area, particularly in more remote locations. Summer temperatures can be quite hot, while spring brings higher water levels in lakes and streams.
