VerifiedAugust 19, 2020 • Stayed at: 13, Loop: UPPE
We were at site 13 and I'm not too sure if it's because so many people had used these areas so much but it had an infestation of gophers, wasps, small flies, and some mosquitoes. These were all present especially around the table. Therefore we ended up washing down the tables by ourselves even before we could get our gear out, let alone start cooking. We were awoken at 5am by someone getting ready to motor bike or dune buggy around that area. He was pretty loud and talked for about 20 minutes before starting off.

We stayed here in the middle of the week during a fire warning time. So the place was pretty much empty except for 1 other group. Unfortunately, we were not able to make a camp fire due to the restriction at the time. Nice open space but if there were more people you might not have much privacy because it's so open.
