• "Campsite #3 is the best in my opinion. What a great view of the canyon!"
• "The campsite is also a fairly easy walk down to Suter Falls. It's a bit of a climb coming back up but suitable for children or relatively able adults."
• "Camp ground was clean and well taken care of. Bathroom was only an old out house so be prepared for no running water at all. We stayed 4 days and had a great time."
