Loved this campground hidden away among the trees an hour from Las Vegas. Will return some day. Friendly campground hosts.

Barely any room for a tent at this site, certainly not enough room for a family to camp. Other than that, the creek was nice, fire pit was great, and lots of shade

Stevie and Scott keep that place so lovely and smooth-running and safe. They are always so helpful and knowledgeable. The campgrounds have upgraded fire pits that I love. The trails through the camp ground are so fun to walk through. It's such a lovely shaded place to camp that still has cell phone reception and internet. I recommend climbing up the ravine (east part of camp) to the field up above to check out the stars at night.

Stayed in site 7. DO NOT STAY IN THIS SITE. You basically share one camp area with another site so unless you know the people in site 9, choose another spot. Most of the other spaces in the campground are much more secluded.
Also be aware that there is a TON of cottonwood debris, like an "it snowed" amount, so watch out if that will cause you any allergy issues.
Thid does also mean there's a lot of little sticks around for campfires that kids could collect. I know I loved doing that when I was younger.
Flush toilets were very clean. Look above the door to see which one is men's or women's. They are NOT handicap accessible. They are lit all through the night. There was a sink with running water but no hand soap in the bathroom, so bring your own. There is a separate pump of potable water outside the bathrooms.
Camp host was incredibly nice and tolerant of my crazy dogs. She sells firewood for $10/bundle if you have a wood emergency.
Several nice day use only areas open 6am-10pm

Bathrooms were well maintained. We stayed in Group Site B. I wouldn’t recommend it. It had a very large, deep open space by the parking lot that was very hot in the morning and midday. The space was pleasant and shady in the afternoon and evening. The best place for tents was in the trees far back from the parking area away from where the tent trailers were in the parking lot. It all felt really disjointed. The tables were lined up in a not very use-able way. Maybe if we could have driven in the open area with our trailers/tent trailers it would be been more functional? (There were large boulders there to prevent that). Group site A is better. There was a lot of traffic past group sites A and B. Group sites C and D were a lot nicer and more private.

Very clean and private. Perfect for our family birthday party of 25. Rest rooms were close by.

The camp hosts were great. The spot was a little smaller than anticipated, but worked out great for us.

We had a very nice overnight stay. The sites were closer than we like, but that is mostly our problem. Nicely kept campground with friendly hosts.
Thanks!

We stayed in the group A site with a bunch of families and 15 kids ages 2-10. Tons of shade, picnic tables, and seating around the fire pit. The kids had a blast playing in the creek. It’s not too deep, and it runs fast enough to not be gross or slippery. There’s lots of grass in that site, so the kids had plenty of places to play. We had our own water spigot. There is a bathroom in between the 4 group sites. It has flushing toilets, and was regularly cleaned by the hosts.
