NW06 Northwest #6 Tent Site

Nice campground with a reasonable price. Very clean bathroom and the shower area. Lighting should be improved on each site especially the outside of the bathroom and the area of the sink.

W02 West Side #2 Tent Site

Good alternative when you're unable to get a spot within JTNP, or even if you just want some additional amenities. Bathrooms were spotless and secure, there was hot/cold water and the dishwashing stations adds convenience. The hosts, in particular Allyson, was helpful and polite and even suggested we move to a site a little closer to the restrooms since the property is pretty spread out. We really appreciated that suggestion - especially since we were there this past weekend and there was sustained strong winds the entire evening with gusts up to 50 mph. The property is unique and a good valuet and I would definitely recommend!
