We have a 40' motor home and pull a 26' trailer with a car on it.. We had plenty of room for that length in a pull through. We would return to this campground again.

I loved the peace and quite, but the toilet area was not up to standards, my opinion for what it is…people in general need to take care of these facilities…I enjoyed my stay, and wouldn’t mind being a host at this location at some point in the future.

Wonderful find conveniently located for us between two destinations. The campground was clean spacious and open. Space for day visits as well as camping. All camping is dry camping. Outhouses were clean , although be prepared to walk a bit if you didn't camp near one. I only saw two for the entire campground. One the upside a night time walk is glorious with the stars everywhere. Lots, if not most, spaces would hold large rigs. The petroglyphs were awe-inspiring. Probably the most concentrated. collection I have ever seen. Worth a night or two at this quiet treasure.
