We stayed in one of the Primitive camp sites next to the water and it was great! The camp hosts were really nice, we talked several times about different things. Spent one day kayaking and fishing. Drove down to one of the dams and realized the water is 100+ feet in a lot of areas of the lakes. Can't wait to go back again!

Stayed at Elk Creek campground from Sunday before Labor Day until Friday. Once the Labor Day crowd headed home. We had no neighbors for 5 days.😁😁😁 flushed toilets, no electric or water hookups. We visited Black Canyon South Rim, East Portal, North Rim every day we were there. GREAT time hiking, picnicking and taking tons of pics.
