Really cool landscape, not great campsite

We had a group camp at Jumbo Rocks during the recent new moon. We had campsites 147, 148, and 150. The campsite was completely full and the way the sites are laid out it feels like you are on top of one another. 

While site 150 had some space deep into the landscape it had zero to no flat space. The site is also right next to the restroom and you have to park and walk back to the site. When we got there the parking was nearly full despite a car limit in place per site. Site 147 was even more on a hill side. It was barely a camp site. 

The sites did have a good table and fire pit that we used. The restrooms are pit toilets and were not in the best shape. 

The skies were awesome outside of some light pollution to the south (the direction of the milky way core). We stayed out quite late taking pictures. 

Another issue we found was that coyotes were super loud throughout the night and kept some of us up.
