This was the cleanest, most user friendly, beautiful campsite we have been to. The sites are large, private (as possible). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back anytime we are in the area! 5/5 recommend! 🚐❤️😍

Camp ground and bathrooms are clean. RV spots were big enough for my 39ft 5th wheel. Would stay here again. Nice campground!

This is a beautiful campground surrounded by Pinion pines and Junipers. It is generally quiet and peaceful. The pit toilets are clean and maintained. The access and campground roads are easy to navigate and are maintained gravel. This was our third stop here, as it is a great stopping point/pass through for us while traveling from south to north in the Great Basin area. There is also a system of trails that start from here. We have only hiked them, but they look like great mountain bike trails! Maybe next time we will have our bikes. I highly recommend this campground!

The campsite was beautiful and the restroom amenities were clean. The issue was the campgrounds are too close to the highway. To my shock, it was horribly loud were in my tent. This problem made for an unrestful sleep because all road traffic could be heard.

Everything was absolutely wonderful. We had a great weekend. Everything was super clean when we arrived arrived though with the exception of staples punctured into all of the tables and some strange graffiti on one. Oddly enough the table graffiti talked about leaving the earth better than you found it. We had the site for three days and it was wonderful.

Many trails of different lengths and difficulty start right from the campground, most with gorgeous views. Nice private sites surrounded by trees, clean facilities.

Very clean and beautiful spaces. The group camp looks amazing if you are planning an event. We will make this a regular stop on the way south!
