We visited Bryce and stayed at this campground in the second week of June. We were expecting the campgrounds to be full, but there was actually decent turnover. Still, as we expected to arrive late in the day and did not really want to fumble around with establishing camp (if we get one) then (not with two young ones), we booked our first night stay at the Lodge. This is how we got to the campground by 7:30 am to select our campsite. It was fairly quiet at 7:30 am.
All that said, the campground has four loops. Loop A and B allow generators and is meant for vehicles more than 20 ft. (i.e trailers/RVs and no tents). Loop C and D do not allow generators and are for vehicles less than 20 ft. (i.e Tents only).
We ended up staying at Loop A site 5 even though we were camping only (and drives just a Prius). It happened that the occupants of that site camped only too and that they were leaving and told us that the hosts allowed it. We checked with the hosts who said it was ok. Apparently, the site is great for tents (big, big level pad for tent, and a separate area for picnic table) - and less good for RV (extra 20, 30 feet up the hill from parking).
It was a nice site - a short walk from the bathroom and water (but not too close). We also were just down from the Rim Trail. So we could scramble up and watch the sunset easily. I guess I might have liked the site less if we had noisy RV neighbors. But it was quiet. Site is not shaded till two p.m. or so, when the sun is over the rim.
Some smaller sites in Look D are shaded. We would probably go for those in the height of summer.
The facilities in this campground were kept immaculate. The bathroom looked and smelled clean. There is also a sink for washing dishes only.
All in all, we loved this campground and can't wait to return. Driving to Sunset Campground (just to see), we thought it is better to be closer to the Rim Trail, even if there seem to be more shaded sites at Sunset.
