We got there around 9am on the Friday before Labor Day and it was already packed. We found two spots available and chose #37. Beautiful views throughout the campground (not from our site) we hiked, the kids played in two different creeks, and we enjoyed having space between ourselves and other campers. Incredible stars, and quick access to the trailhead (which was packed all weekend) Since it was a holiday weekend, cars were constantly driving up the road in search of a site. We even had one night where a group set up camp in a non-site area right beside us and drunkenly sang Queen songs until 4 am but thankfully the ranger kicked them out a few hours later. When we left on Sunday afternoon there were many spots available. Definitely need a vehicle with high clearance since the road is very rocky. There are few places to turn around and if you come on a busier weekend, you may want to grab the first spot you see.

Beautiful views, amazing sites right against the rocks. We made a last minute reservation and got the last available site. We were so disappointed when we realized it was the worst spot in the campground (#18) but checked with the host (who was very helpful and friendly) to see if there were any cancellations and there was! We ended up with one of the most unique spots (#5) It was beautiful and private and we were right against the rocks which we climbed up each night to watch the sunset. The campground is right along the river and since we were all the way at the end of the road it was very peaceful out there. The campground was full but it didn’t feel crowded and our family definitely plans to come back sometime! The road getting out there is sooooo bumpy- washboard for sure. We didn’t require 4WD, just be aware that it’s uncomfortable to drive on and at times it felt like our vehicle would shake apart 😂 Also, bring your own water! There is a pump out there but we still didn’t feel comfortable drinking it (and forgot our filter)
