Level sites and beautiful views

We absolutely loved this site. The front desk was extremely helpful about booking us a second night. You are .5 miles from the Zion entrance so we rode our personally owned bikes. The site was level and had a lot of space (we have a 22 ft airstream and a GMC). Our site had tree coverage which was nice to keep the airstream cool and we were right near the bathrooms which were really nice. They give you coins for the shower (6 minutes) which was plenty of time. You are right near the restaurants and general store for any needs.

Tight sites

We didn’t know that the “20 miles from Yosemite” just meant the entrance, we still had to drive about 30 miles to get into the valley. The site we pulled into was really tight with a hill and drop off on either side so our picnic table had to be in front of the airstream. You are right next to the resort where there are restaurants but, not really any beach access and there aren’t wide walks around the lake. The facilities were nice and we had good wifi service but, I would recommend staying closer to Yosemite if you’re hiking.

Beautiful setting

Such a great spot to get to hikes within the redwoods but, also see the beaches. The sites are well spaced out but, you do have to pay to shower if you use the public facility. We got to see the elk in the morning and it was so cool! We stayed in the meadow and there was not trees for shade but, it was pretty cool out so our airstream didn’t get too hot

Very friendly staff

We got in very late at night but, luckily we had a pull through site. The staff were so helpful and understanding but, pretty basic campground. There wasn’t a lot of privacy between the sites but, there weren’t a lot of people and we only stayed one night. It’s a bit of an older campground but, had a great overlook of the city which was close by and roads were easy to get to site on the hill.

Relaxing and quiet

We got in later at night and had a back on site. We are new to RVing but, we were able to get in the spot! Not a lot of lighting but, we had headlamps. Staff were super welcoming and gave us a military discount. Bathrooms were clean and the grounds for the park were nicely kept. Outside of the park is a trailer park but, there didn’t seem to be any issues.
