What Guests Are Saying

Obsidian Flat is a great group campground, ideal for gatherings. It features vault toilets but lacks running and potable water. Visitors should bring their own toilet paper to ensure availability.

This is a great group campground, although remember that it only has vault toilets, no running nor potable water.
You might want to bring some toilet paper in case they run out.

The location was great, however, getting out of the campsite- around the curve near the bathroom was a bit challenging with our 32 ft trailer.
Otherwise, we loved the location.

Very Peaceful and private campground.
Dirt road is not too difficult. I will definitely come back!! I hope this site stays open so we can return.

Great site, lots of space, good toilets, I really like how the locked gate kept the side by sides from driving up to the camp.
