Shades Campground
Description
Ain’t nothin’ shady about Shade Campground. The campground is located on the far west end of the park, which means you have an easy escape from the crowds when things get super busy during the daytime. Plus, the Backpack Trail, which runs right next to the campground, hooks up to the network of trails that let you traverse ravines throughout the park—so all you have to do is wake up, throw on your hiking boots, and start exploring!
