This campground is in a beautiful, quiet location. There seemed to be clusters of 3 or 4 campsites sharing a toilet. Nice picnic tables and firepits. I selected a campsite that said it had room for 6 people and 3 tents. When we arrived, we were surprised to see that it was on a hill and the only flat spot was right up against the picnic table, down at the bottom of the hill. We made it work and had a lovely night. Did the nature trail at the end of the road early in the morning and it was beautiful with yuccas and cactus blooming and birds singing. Would camp there again, but in a different spot.

Went to watch the Lunar Eclipse and it was fantastic. Our camp neighbor was super friendly. There were rock climbers when we got to our site and it was cool to see them do their thing. The only complaint was there were two obnoxious women who decided 1am was when they were going to loudly make camp across the road from us. After waking up their neighbors fighting over the campsite and hammering their stakes down, and talking at normal volume, not even whispering, I loudly shushed them and that seemed to have some effect--finally.
CAMPERS PLEASE DON'T BE THESE PEOPLE!!!
Would undoubtedly go again.

Pretty campground, poor roads but fine to drive on. I stayed in site 95; which is small but feels secluded (bonus for a large campground). If you have a bigger tent (more than 1p), sites 94 and 93 were bigger and felt a bit secluded as well. Nice shade due to the rocks. I'd say most of the people were respectful, but I definitely prefer dispersed camping to campground camping any day. There were remnants from the previous tenants. Please remember LNT.
