What Guests Are Saying
Larry Forbis Overnight Group Site is a beautiful and spacious location with welcoming camp hosts and well-maintained facilities. The nearby river offers enjoyable activities, though accessing it requires navigating rocky terrain. Visitors should be aware that there is no drinking water available on-site and that restroom facilities may be locked.

The spot was nice and big as far as a gathering place. not a lot of level places to put tents close together. The walk to the river was very hard, over tons of big rocks. But once there the river was nice. THE BATHROOMS WERE LOCKED THE ENTIRE TIME AND THERE WAS NO NUMBER TO CALL AND ASK FOR THEM TO BE OPENED. We had to walk down the road to another day spot to use the restroom or just go in the wild for emergencies. There were visitors in the night, skunks, coyotes and scorpions. the kids thought it was cool to see them from the table tops. We did have fun no matter the inconveniences though and it was beautiful scenery.

Beautiful spot just a short walk from the river. Love the large ramadas and we'll kept vault toilets. Camp hosts were welcoming and friendly.
Only concern is that the website didn't mention that there is no drinking water available at the campground. Make sure to bring any water you will need.

Amazing location and fantastic value for all that you receive with this reservation. Plenty of space along with ample shade and seating and multiple grills and fire rings in each site. A definite must for camping by the Lower Salt!

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
