Clean and well taken care of. Host is amazing! He was very helpful. It is worth noting that most of the sites are for RVs and there isn't a lot of tree cover, we had no where to hand our shower or hammocks. There are 2 bathrooms with flush toilets and sink. Lots of water spigots

Just spent two nights at this wonderful campsite and I feel I had the best spot! I was in Site 22 which you have to walk a short way to get to but it has an incredible view.

I was in Site 22 which you have to walk a short way to get to but it has an incredible view. The picture of the building and cars, my car is the black one and the view is from my campsite so you take that dirt path, around thirty yards, and you'll get to Site 22. Also, the building is the bathrooms and there's another smaller one next to it. No showers though. Very clean and well taken care of also. I think the three best sites are 22, 24 and 23 in that order if you'd like great access to the lake and more privacy. There's a lot to do in the area as well and Zion Park is nearby (maybe thirty minutes...). All my pictures were taken from my campsite which i think has an incredible view. Current cost was $17 per night for my tent; a bargain in my opinion. I will be going back again; had a real great time!

Other than the thunderstorms we had a good time. Host was new to the site and was very friendly. He was working to clean things up. Tent site was a little uneven, I do with they had actual tent spots, but overall the view was beautiful and worth visiting and staying at. We will be back. We were at site 25.

We stayed at #21’s walk up site. It was suitable for tent camping and so close to the lake. They have spigots available and bathrooms were fairly clean. We stayed second weekend of June of 2022 and it was freezing still. Bring a wagon for this walk up campground. It’s pretty secluded. I think 19, 21, 22, and 24 are the best spots because you have an amazing view to wake up to. We did the Navajo la... We stayed at #21’s walk up site.

I don’t recommend for kids unless you want to hear them complaining the whole time.
