We had a great time despite the terrible heat during our visit. Sonny is such a gracious host and also very welcoming to us on this trip as well as our previous visits to this campsite. It would be nice to have access to the upper loops that are still closed down. Any idea as to when this matter will be resolved?

Site #10 was a great location with shade! Camp host was the best! Close to the red rock swimming hole which was really nice.

Loved this campground. Just far enough off the main road that it was nice and quiet. And our site was perfect. However, lots of offroaders and dirt bikers came very early (around 5 am) both days. Wish the staging area for the dirt bikes was further from the campground.
