This campground is not far off the main road and is easy to access with any vehicle. I was there on a Saturday and it still had open spots, but was mostly full. The vault toilet was very clean. The hosts kept it well stocked with toilet paper and they checked in with groups daily. Really good views and hiking spots. Pretty much no cell service (occasionally a text would make it through) and good tent pads or spots to put tents and campers. Noticed a few people had trouble finding flat parking for RVs and vans. The mosquitos weren't bad at all, and the biting flies were manageable with bug spray. The traffic going in to Denver was visible in just a few spots, but out in the distance. Many sites or close together sites would be great for groups. Lots of shade and places for a hammock. 

 The down side is the road noise. Especially because this is close enough to the highway on a downgrade, so you can hear the trucks downshifting throughout the day and night. But with that in mind, I would go back. The location was convenient and we had a good time.

This is a few sites on a loop with other sites scattered here and there. There were great views from my tent site (see pics), but other sites were available tucked up next to rock walls and in dips. There are lots of trees that could provide shade. But the Cactus are growing everywhere, so be aware before you venture too far off a path or from the tent sites, especiallywith young kids. I had read that the road was difficult but the route I took was very manageable by almost any car. Some rocky bumps and an incline, but not extreme.  I had 1 bar of 4G at my site and cell service is spotty if you're looking for that. It was quiet at night other than wildlife (night birds, coyotes). The tent sites were mostly well spaced and other pull-thru locations seemed to have decent privacy. There are a few vault toilets. I had some flies to keep me company,  but no mosquitos (which is unheard of in this valley!). Camp host was friendly and chatty. I was here on a weeknight in June and there were a few sites to chose from when I got there at 6PM. This is a first come/first serve campground with a fee. The BLM website doesn't have much info for this area, but it's helpful.

I was here on a Thursday and there were 2 other sites taken by the end of the night. This is off a backroad (dirt) that is somewhat well traveled.  So the campground is petty accessible by any vehicle. But the campground is tucked between the river and the road. There was 0 traffic all night, but a few cars by the morning. There is 1 vault toilet and all sites have a picnic table and fire ring. There is parking for 2 cars at each site, but more space to park close by.  No tent pads but the ground is clear for easy tent placement. It is very quiet at night other than the gurgling river. It is thickly wooded and plenty of shade. This is in a small valley that runs East/West, but the sun doesn't pop over the mountains until late and it sets early. This is a free first-come/first-serve campground.

In peak season (here on a Wednesday) it is busy here and online reservations are really recommended.  This is a common campground set up (drive loop with sites patched along the way). The website was great for seeing reviews/ratings of specific sites. Booked 24 hrs in advance and got lucky with "prime" site, which was the last available site for my date. A little noisy with so many families in a full campground. But I would definitely return. Great mountain and dune hikes with trails easy to access from the campgrounds. Bear lockers, tent pads, picnic tables, fire rings at each site. Deer just feet from my site and mosquitos are there but manageable. 

NOTE: campsite fee does not include park entrance fee ($25/car)

I was in a tent, but the RVs were also shoulder to shoulder. The website claims a grassy space for tents, but I saw a literal 8 foot square of grass still clinging to life. The spots are tight but each (tent) space has its own parking, tent space, and picnic table. Bathrooms/showers/laundry available. The hot springs pool is closed on Thursdays. So coming in on that day means you might have to ask others for wifi and shower room info. Despite being heavily populated, people were quiet at night. There were birds and frogs that sing through the night (for better or worse).

This is a first come/first serve campground. On a Thursday, I saw what was probably the last spot, fill up by 4:30PM. The BLM number on the website is great for quick pre recorded info. As of 6/11, the dirt road that treks miles up the mountain is still nowhere near finished. The trail and campground was packed with local and international travelers.  The hike to the falls is rocky but not too long. The views from the campground are huge and vast. Wind in the Valley is pretty consistently 20+mph from March through May. But it keeps the mosquitos away! And usually the wind calms at sunset. I would stay here again for a 1-2 night trip.
