The Bookcliffs view is easily walkable from the campground. The bathrooms were spotless and included flush toilets, hand dryers, and lights.

We arrived on a Sunday and had our pick of the campsites. We camped in a site with a view down to the Grand Valley. It was so pretty it almost didn't look real.
