Wonderful place to camp the scenery is beautiful and the weather is gorgeous in the hot southwest summers it’s also a nice place to ride and I ride dual sport motorcycles I haul my bikes in a enclosed trailer to my destinations and then I use the trails in the surrounding areas that are designated to ride on.Although as I would re-enter the campground area is the person working at the Quansett hut at questioned how I got my motorcycle into the park I told them I hold it in my trailer and that I ride on the designated trolls in the surrounding areas in the mountains well I was told that they had told me not to bring my bike in there before.? which they hadn’t. And that I couldn’t ride it inside the park or campgrounds which I told them I was not I was just writing it out to the Outward trails that are designated to ride on.Then I also encountered another one of the park workers taking photographs of my motorcycle at my campground telling me that it’s not allowed to be in there and that they were going to show it to the Ranger.? I said well be my guest Because it’s a registered licensed and insured vehicle just like anything else that anybody else would ride and I was obeying all park rules and all laws of the surrounding areas they continued to hassle me about my motorcycle being there?I Finallytalk to the person who was Was a retired police officer who was the campground host at the time and he said and his wife as well that they couldn’t see that I was breaking any laws and that there was no problem that I could have the motorcycle in there so I continued to ride in and out and never once was confronted by a US national Park service Ranger so I don’t know why the people at the Quansett hut in the volunteer workers inside we’re giving me such a bad time about having a motorcycle inside Pine Valley recreational campground areas

Love this location. Suggest you get a spot near the lake so you can hear the water trickle down the rocks. Restrooms are well kept and the camping spots were large enough to accommodate my entire family. The local town ice cream parlor is quaint. We come back every year and will continue to do so!
