The BLM should consider putting in an outhouse for the recreational users of the road who come in droves and keep them out of the campgrounds- there is plenty of space where they park.

We hauled in 3 horses and couldn't have had a better time. The corrals were well-situated and the campsite was in a little depression, making it feel private and well-insulated from traffic. The horse and hiking trails nearby are great. We didn't have any complications with people using trails incorrectly, and all of our encounters with motorized users were pleasant and thoughtful. Easy ride down to the Colorado River. This was the cleanest pit toilet I've every used!
