Incredible campground for how close it is to the cliff dwellings

This campground was darn-near empty when we were there (due to COVID there were no dwelling tours), but we weren't complaining because we could do whatever hike or check out whatever dwelling we wanted to without the hassle finding parking or waiting for space to open in the walkable dwellings. 

Without a doubt this was a highlight of our trip. It would have been much more amazing to see the cliff dwellings close up, but we can do that another year! 

The campground itself was nestled up in some trees. There was little to no cell service, but at the store/ laundry area there was WiFi and "some" service. Our understanding was that they close the gate around sunset (the road is reallllly twisty and windy, so drive slow/ safely!) 

There is a hotel beyond the gate that has spectacular views, but we didn't stay there so not sure what the details are. 

This is a must stay (and if it's still COVID times, don't be discouraged about no tours!! It's still SOOOO worth it!!!)
