My experiences at this park

Comments: Dry-camping sites are nestled among alien-looking volcanic monoliths; hookup sites are grouped together away from the rockpile. Many dry-camping sites are small and not very level. Great scenery, but best avoided during Spring Break. No dump station.

As of early 2023, Verizon internet ranges from very slow (2 Mbps down, 0.02 Mbps up) to acceptable (7 Mbps down, 0.86 Mbps up). T-Mobile 5G is good (38.2 Mbps down, 9.3 Mbps up) without an amp, and fast (64.7 Mbps down, 5.76 Mbps up) with a cell booster amp. However, cellular reception and internet speeds can vary greatly depending upon which side of the rockpile your campsite is on. The above numbers were recorded on the east side of the rocks.
