Sight was listed as 25 ft. Just a little over. Campground not designed for trailers. Posts for site numbers are in the turning radius for backup. Several of the numbers were down. Might be more cost effective to paint or use thermoplastic stencils.

Very, very tight spaces even for a 26' RV. There is no reason to use hundreds of boulders to restrict every turn. Good grief, it's not foliage it's just dirt!

Stayed at B31. Great campground with water. Saw lots of stars and kangaroo rats at night.

Great campsite near restroom but not so close for quiet consideration. We have 2 small tents and 1 medium tent which suited the place perfectly. Nice amenities such as table and fire ring. Be aware of checking clothes and sleep systems for cold weather. Then, you will have a wonderful night to sleep with lots of stars!

Quiet and private campsite with water about 1 hr drive from the other campgrounds. I liked that the site wasn’t near any features that may lead to other visitors walking through my camp
