Customer Reviews
The road starts off easy enough but gets rough fast. Having a 4x4 or a raised vehicle to continue will help. After the second fire restriction sign the road gets easier to pass. The campsite is spacious with a vault toilet. It's very quiet. Pack in-Pack out.
Great place to camp. You can get up to a good amount of sites with 2wd but some require at least good clearance. Beautiful views and very serene. There's a pit toilet at the first spot so that was convenient for certain times. There are a few trails that lead off from the sites and make a good opportunity for hiking. It can be warm during summer so plan accordingly
Once the road turns into dirt you have 4 miles till you get here. The road isn't that bad, once we arrived, there were others here that made it in sedans. No running water but 2 bathrooms (which were stocked with toilet paper) as well as trashcans outside. Besides All the campsites not being flat but at an angle, all 4 campsites have picnic tables and a firepit. 2 out of the 4 sites here are bigger then the others, and as you know, 1st come, first serve. It is nice & quiet. There are flys and gnats, so if you want to enjoy the campsites, I'd suggest bringing a screened room. We stayed for 3 days, 2 nights and had a wonderful time.
Amazing place to get away from the crowds and do some off roading and get away from the desert heat. Went here in early July and there were tons of flowers just before you get to the peak but the bugs were unbearable during the day and if you stood in one place for more than a 10 seconds you would have 3-5 bugs simultaneously bite your leg. Other than the bugs this place was a blast to camp and I can't wait to go back next year in the spring and hopefully there will be less bugs then.
This facility has bathrooms which is nice for a yellow post site. However there's approximately 5 miles of winding dirt road to reach it. Nice, quiet area that is very pretty and had nice weather and a breeze when we went. However, many bugs swarming about recommend good bug spray for exploring. Overall the sites are well maintained , a couple of them are very close together, but if you get one of the larger ones it isn't a problem. 5 sites in the immeadiate area.
