Wonderful remote campground with water and flush toilets. WiFi was available on the porch of the ranger station; there is no cell service out here. Had a skunk and a couple javelinas come visit our site.

Nice secluded campsite - neighbors were friendly but quiet. Only downside is the lack of showers but the heated bathrooms were a plus!

Beautiful, quiet setting. Plenty of options for activities in the area (hiking, driving, birding, etc.) Small RV sites are nice as they keep out the overbearing domineering types. Bathrooms were always clean, wifi signal always available at the ranger station. I hope to return sometime.

It is on the list as one of my favorite parks. Spent 3 nights with my wife and we both loved it. Park was clean and well taken care of. Connectivity however was non existent but if you’re looking to unplug then it’s the perfect spot.
