While was during the shutdown, the pit toilets were in need of servicing. Also the campground itself requires a fee, so it seems the campers in the campground are subsidizing the pit toilets for those campers using the free BLM land..

Beautiful campground!! I used the Scan & Pay feature on the Recreation.gov App. When paying for campground site, offline, the App pre-populated all my information EXCEPT my Lifetime Senior Pass number, which I had to manually input. My pass was already stored in the App! I had wifi the next day and recieved an email saying my pending campsite payment transaction was completed. BUT, it's now a week later, and the App is still sending notifications that I have a Pending Transaction and I should open the App to complete it??

Beautiful sunsets! Only a ten minute drive from the needles district visitors center for water and wifi. The vault toilets were super clean, the campsites were tent friendly, and we had a great time!
