We visited here over Memorial Day weekend 2016 and loved it. Had no trouble finding a site and people were coming and going daily without issue. Many sites can accommodate travel trailers. We opted for a spot away from the cliff edge since we were traveling with small children and toddlers, but if you have older children or none at all I would highly recommend picking a spot near the edge. The views are phenomenal looking down on tree tops, offering a great sunrise view. The camp hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. There are several bathrooms and potable water, but no showers. Sites are $8/night. All sites are surrounded by countless ponderosa pines providing plenty of shade. Small restaurant/shop/gas station on 87.
