We enjoyed our stay here thoroughly. We were surprised to see the prices were higher than what was on the website, so that does need to be updated.
The campground is right next to the road but the traffic wasn't very heavy so it normally wasn't a bother. The river flowed quickly past our site, which was nice. The Ponderosas are beautiful and provide shade for most of the day.
Just a short walk down the hill and you get into some beautiful meadow area with other kinds of pine trees and some aspens too. It's so green right now.
The bathroom was fairly clean and we never ran out of TP. Some of the sites seemed a little close to each other but most of them were empty the whole weekend anyway.
The fire ring is metal with a flip-over grill/grate to use for cooking over the fire, which we used several times for our meals.
Most of the sites have only enough room for 1-2 cars to park, but we were at the only one that fit 3 vehicles (there were three couples, between us). No additional parking.
The weather was amazing when we went and the trees were great for hammocks. The camp host was really nice and gave us an ankle brace when my wife rolled her ankle on a hike.
Capital Reed is just 40 minutes or so away, and Lower Bowns Reservoir about 20 minutes away, though there were a million ants there so we didn't stay long haha.
We would stay here again.
10 of us camped at group site C for two nights in late August. There was really only room for 6 or so vehicles parked comfortably. Not sure how you'd fit 50 people here. Plenty of table space for our small group though. The riverbed was dry, and the water spigots have all been removed, so bring your own water.
Tent spots were mostly very rocky, which made it really hard to pound stakes in. We managed to fit several hammocks also. The fire pit was full of rocks, which I had to pull out and stack around the edge so we could cook with coals properly.
This campground advertises vault and flush toilets on recreation.gov, but the flush toilets were deadbolted and out of order. Looks like they've been that way for a while. This needs to be updated on the website and I personally think the price should be dropped a bit. The one set of vault toilets is shared by all 3 group sites. Luckily the other two sites were empty the weekend we went. Vault toilets did have TP.
It is a very pretty spot and we enjoyed our stay.
We really enjoyed this hike. We were blessed with overcast and a breeze, so we didn't roast. The pools above the falls are beautiful and a great place to relax, cool off, and enjoy a break. The upper pool was even deep enough to jump off the ledge into when we went, so come prepared to swim if you dare brave the cold water. There isn't really a good way down to the bottom of the falls. There are some Cairns and what look like trails, but they aren't well-marked and we gave up. Not sure if those are reall trails to be honest. They confused us a bit. The last push back up to the parking area is the steepest climb, so make sure you have plenty of water and take a rest of you need to, especially when it's really hot out.
