Peaceful. Bathrooms were messy and toilets plugged but that’s on the rude people that did it. No respect.
Cell service awful

This is a great camping spot, even for multiple days. I have used it as a breakpoint for driving from San Diego to Moab, but decided to make it a focus. And I was rewarded, no cell service (a drawback for many) and nice campsites with stunning terrain and 20 min from a good size town is a bonus.

Went for a couple hours and had lunch. Hiked along the river and tried fly fishing but no luck. Great campgrounds, restrooms sinks were not working however. Would recommend!

Scenery is best of the best. Was able to level out 36’ RV no problem.
