This was our first time camping here. Larry was an excellent camp host who was so helpful letting us know great hiking trails. There was a trail from the campground to the Rim Trail which was super beautiful with majestic views. We enjoyed the location of this campground only about 4 miles from Woods Canyon lake.

It's an ok campground, but there are way better ones in the area. Pros: Easy to get to. It has a restroom, and the spots are relatively spacious. Camp host is great as always. It's close to the rim and the rim trail for nice lookouts and a good hike Cons: It's windy this close to the rim which means it's colder and less enjoyable. The fire pits are nice, but you shouldn't use them in the heavy wind. And the worst part is that you hear traffic from the highway at all times.

I really like this campground, it was my first camping experience and it was fun. The designated spaces were clean and well maintained. There's a metal fire pit for warmth or marshmallows. The bathroom is close by if you're tent camping. The campground is surrounded by beautiful Ponderosa pines. We all had a great time.

At this elevation you can see a long way. Breath taking views! Even if you are just coming up for the day, the views are worth it. The narrow gravel road is well maintained. The first day was the best, the wind calmed, 60° perfect for camping, hiking and stargazing. Next morning the icy wind picked up to 15-20 knots and stayed that way, weather app showed 34° wind chill. The sites seem well used and mostly clear of trash, some people just can't pick up after themselves. There was 2 other campers, a 5th wheel by the entrance and 4x4 truck+teardrop off in the distance closer to the edge

A clean and well kept camp ground, the host was kind as well. My only complaint is the space, these camp sites are a little close together compared to some other similar grounds.
