I like the reasonable pricing. The only difficulty I see is people trying to book a site without cell service. We pulled out our Starlink. The host is very helpful. I love hiking down into the valley. Thanks

Good cheap campground. Sinks had some bugs but were mostly clean. There was a dumpster for garbage service. There was a drinking fountain for filling water. Sites were very close together. The campsite was definitely in a windy area so plan for massive wind if tenting. We would stay there again especially for the price.

No other campsite can beat the price and amenities. Flush toilet, water, paper towel, shades, a river with 360 degree mountain view in just $8. No other place on Earth can beat this price. The campsite is very beautiful and clean.

We reserved the group campsite which says it has 12 parking spots, this is not accurate and our group has a difficult time with parking. The camp spot also isn't well marked and when we arrived there were campers in our spot.
The listing says there is water but it is only in drinking fountains as far as we could find which makes it difficult to fill large containers of water.
The freeway is pretty loud here so make sure to bring ear plugs.

Now that Mesquite has "outlawed" overnight stays at the casinos, it was very refreshing to have an inexpensive place to stay overnight.

The campground was very good and the views were magnificent! It was quiet and peaceful most of the time. There does seem to be an issue with the reservations, though. Sites that were unavailable on the reservation system then sat empty throughout our stay. That was frustrating because we would have preferred one of those. Also, I couldn't get the Scan & Pay to accept my husband's Senior Lifetime Access Pass, so no discount. Still the price was a great bargain! The restrooms were clean and well maintained during the week but needed some attention over the weekend. Our campsite was not as close to the restrooms as we would have liked (again frustrating due to the unused reservations). During our stay it was quite windy at times. We weren't able to take advantage of the hiking trails during our stay, but they are available and close by. We definitely would stay here again!
