AT&T Service: none

Verizon Service: 1x (at best)

Campground WiFi:  Download speeds between 5 to 8 Mbps. However, it was only sporadically available.

OLDER CAMPGROUND BATH & SHOWERS

These are located near the Colorado River beach.

The Older Shower/Bathroom Building

Older Building – Typical Shower Stall

NEWER CAMPGROUND BATH & SHOWERS

These are located near the campground entrance. We tried both old & new showers. The new showers had the best water pressure and hot water. The older showers took forever to warm up.
