Spot 14 is great - it's far enough off the road to not get any dust, and you're kind of in a corner, so people rarely drive past you. Very clean, quiet campground. The camp host is very nice and helpful. I'll definitely be visiting here again.

It was a quiet and lovely campground. Every afternoon wild horses walked by our camp so neat to see!
We will definitely go back.

Perfect site. Camp host was great. We made reservations for camp site but with our equipment she helped us pick another site that would better accommodate our needs (Sun-Fri we were the only campers).
We had a mule dear within 15' of our site and wild horses within 30 ft of our site.
Our camp site was #10 - we had a SUV with tent attachment, UTV with trailer and canopy over our table.

We like this campground as we've stayed here before. This past time though there were a lot of rowdy children and other groups that didn't respect the quiet hours.

The sites are very large, and the bathroom was very clean. I'd say the only down fall is that there is only 1 bathroom and the water source is only at the entrance. The host is literally a sweetheart and I will definitely be recommending this campground to others! Thank you for a great stay!
