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

Absolutely stunning campground, we arrived under a blanket of stars and woke up to stunning views of the river snaking through the desert mountains. Highly recommend!

Very nice. Only wish cell service was better. Would have stayed a lot longer. Bathrooms were a mess and toilets plugged but that’s on those rude people that do not have respect for the facilities.

This is a relaxing, enjoyable location. There is road noise from the freeway, but we did not find it to be an issue. There is good trail access for hikers and bikers. There are many unshaded locations and the grounds are primarily pavement or sand/gravel. The facilities are well kept. It was a fantastic stop for a couple nights on our way through.
