We were in group site B. This site was clean and felt tucked away with plenty of room for multiple campers/trailers. Only complaint is off roaders/non campers using Onion Creek Road would drive down to our site to use the vault toilet. Numerous times members at our camp had to wait on the restroom that we paid for and was part of our site because non campers were using it.

We booked both A and B and had our name on the posted schedule. We booked these for our wedding and had letters from the blm saying we could be there. When we showed up the morning of our wedding there was people in both sites saying that they had booked and somehow also paid for the sites. One of the sites was absolutely trashed, tents everywhere, cars everywhere, and literal trash everywhere. When we called the blm they said there was no way for them to help us. This completely ruined our wedding day. We even called the local non emergency police and the sheriff said they couldn't do anything, when we had letters stating we could be there AND our name was on the group site calendar.

Been going here for 20+ years. Pricing for a group is very expensive. At $108 per night, It takes 8-10 people to make it fairly priced. Other than that, LOve the place and many memories
