Cons: Allow 2 hours before dark to drive around and find a pedestal that has electricity. Many of them have been taped and marked closed by the park. Other pedestals are open but just do not work.
Possible repeat bridge closure in 2023 to ?? if current temporary Santa Clara river bridge to sections M, N, Q, P is rebuilt, forcing rv's to use the back entrance on Arrastre Canyon road. This entrance was used after the bridge was washed out in the 2017 flood. It took several years to open the temporary bridge. The 90 degree turn from this road to the back entrance is very tight (See google earth).
Pros: Almost always has vacancy. Newly rebuilt section K might be finished sometime in 2023.
