Doris Campground

The campground is well taken care of, but it is just a tough landscape. I tent camped which was the main problem due to the high winds and dust that blew through the campsites. The gear inside my tent was the dirtiest that I have ever experienced. The prior couple of days had been very warm, and we came into very close contact with two western diamondback rattlesnakes, which are extremely dangerous. You just have to really pay attention. There are some very pretty areas that make you feel like you are in Colorado or Utah.

Primitive sites are definitely a walk but they were clean and bathrooms were clean . The billboards of info at the main gate was helpful

Great place to camp, highly recommend.

Was the only tent there, mostly campers, almost no sound at night, very peaceful

We've been coming here for decades. Not much has changed as far as the sites and roads. The major changes have been upgraded restroom facilities. There is now only one bathroom with running water and showers, and three concrete buildings with pit toilets. The main bathroom is centrally located, and the pit toilets are in other loops. The campground could use another bathroom or two. On busy weekends there is a line for the showers and sinks. Other than thaat, it is a great place to stay and explore the Refuge, with good hikes leaving from the campground.
