Really beautiful campsites. If you are looking to camp at Cloudland Canyon cheap this is the area for you. Stick to the sites 1 - 5 and you will be very close to parking and the bathrooms. Campsites 18, 19 and 20 are also close to the bathrooms and parking. If you are looking for more privacy and a larger site away from people check out the sites 10 - 17. Some sites are definitely better than others and although you can make reservations you can't reserve a specific spot. Weekends seem very busy and weekdays only a few spots were taken. Look for shortcuts around the sites to make your life a lot easier when hauling gear from parking to your sites. Bathrooms were very basic and full of creepy crawlers! But hey it's camping what did you expect? Comparatively though to the other bathrooms in the campground these are very old and most basic. We enjoyed how close we were to hiking the West rim loop. You can really just wake up and go! Also equally enjoyable were the creeks running through this area. Our campsite overlooked a creek and we could hear the sound of the water through the night.

Great camping spot. Expected to walk further than we did but all the sites were relatively close to the parking lot and bathrooms. Each site has a picnic table and a fire pit with a grill. You only need to pay the parking fees ($5 per day) which makes for a cheap getaway.

The campsite is great. The bathrooms are only 2 years old and had 2 toilets and 2 showers. There was a line in the mornings and at night but it wasnt too bad. They put heaters in the bathrooms which is nice considering it was 25 degrees at night. I stayed at campsite 19 which was the farthest away from the parking lot but wasnt more than a 10-15 minute walk. It was the most secluded campsite and was next to the stream. The campsite also has direct access to the west rim trail which is right beside campsite 19. They sell firewood at the store for $6 a bundle. Overall it was a great experience.

A secluded campground connected to the trails of the park, with a bathhouse and parking lot in the middle and campsites spread out through the woods with plenty of room between. Some of the sites are a good walk from the bathhouse, so bring jugs. The bathrooms and sites are very clean and well maintained, with gorgeous views around a 30 minute hike away.

Pros: Campsites were decent with a level pad to pitch a tent. Good distance between the sites. I was a #19 and could here a babbling brook (though it had rained all day). Didn't see any wild mammals though there were plenty of birds. There are 2 toilet blocks with the furthest campsite being approx 1/2 mile. Toilets were clean and had showers. There is a trail which links the campsite to the west rim trail. Cons: The biggest problem with this campsite was that i got little sleep due to the constant freight trains at night. They would blow their horns constantly. Based on this I can't recommend the site.

Stayed at campsite 11, which is through a couple of sites, but has a bridge behind it to go up to the RV area's bathrooms. This was nice with the girls there, but it took multiple trips up the hill to the parking lot. There were a few other campers in the area, but these sites are not on top of each other. The only downside was it rained all day Saturday and the site became a flooded mess, but it did clear up after lighting the fire that night.
