Nice campground. Vault toilet was compost so the smell and fly's were non existent. Sites are small for outdoor entertaining very similar to a koa site. Campground hosts were very nice and helpful. We stayed in B-04 with a 30 ft 5th wheel and will stay here again.

Site #19 was a very nice site kinda secluded on the outer perimeter towards the end. Our site was very clean but other sites were left a mess and not cleaned. We’ll always go back in the cool times of the year. The month of May is perfect weather conditions and the mountains block the southern winds.

We went up to Potato Patch for an overnight, and stayed in the tent loop. We had a nice large site, but we were pretty close to neighbors. Bathrooms were clean, it was pretty quiet and peaceful. There is an RV loop but we didn't drive through. We saw antelope in the grassland and deer on top of Mingus Mountain. It's a beautiful drive, and we would camp here again.
