We loved the views from the campsite and the privacy by being back from the main road; , privacy looks hard to find in public campsites in that area. There are a lot of ATVS driving down Onion Creek Road. Unfortunately we were getting cars still driving down our side road, so we put up a sign that said full, no vacancy and that worked. I would suggest to BLM that they use cards or signs to show occupancy at the campsites. There is no information given to potential campers unless they look at a board with the monthly calendar; not a great system. The only other negative was a lot of cheat grass, which was a concern for the dogs, but none of our dogs got it in their ears. Some other things: next to onion creek, really short bike ride to the river with lower onion campground, and close to Fisher Towers which we hiked. Also, the recreation road next to the campground looks fun to bike. We biked up it two miles and it was gorgeous.

Park a car at the bathroom to block the road. Lots of lookie loos and 4 bys looking for parking and to use the restroom. Otherwise FABULOUS

Awesome safe horse corrals. Beautiful setting. Group site is separated from other campsites so feels private. Great horse trails. Clean, well-maintained pit toilet.

Corrals were in great condition and the camp site is well maintained. One thing to note is that the creek is pretty saline, so definitely bring your own water. Overall, it was a great base camp for our adventures!
