This location is spectacular. The only reason for the 3-star review is that we were there for 2 nights with a group of 25 and there was only 1/2 of a roll of toilet paper for our entire stay.

We love this scenic spot for horse camping. There are sturdy corrals and a clean vault toilet. We enjoyed riding horse trails without impact from motorized travelers. We did not appreciate that other visitors left trash in the toilet building.

Great spot with plenty of space. The downside is a ton of people come into the campground to use the bathroom. We had six jeeps park in the camping spot to air down and use the bathroom in the morning and then again to air back up in the afternoon. Constant use of the bathroom from day trippers and even other campers in the regular campground, which has its own toilet. Don’t pick this spot if you want privacy. BLM needs bigger and better signs and a gate to reduce this.

Corrals are well built and the camp ground is well kept. Beautiful trail system right out of the area and there are many more within a quick trailer drive away. Bring your own water as the creek is very saline. We loved staying here and cannot recommend it enough.
