Customer Reviews
It was very nice, very beautiful. The only setback is that there is a lot of traffic driving by as well as dirt bikes and four wheelers. Also, the only available sites when we went had no shade, so I would recommend bringing some sort of shade just in case
I really loved my campsite there. Of course, dry camping had a fire pit and there was a creek running by nice quiet dark skies for stargazing
Beautiful wildflowers. Clean fresh air.
If you want to get away under the dark sky, this would be a good place.
Great area for some peaceful camping. We loved the creek along the campsite.
