Simpson Springs Campground is praised for its beautiful vistas, cleanliness, and convenient facilities, making it a great spot for groups and stargazing. The pavilion is well-equipped and offers shelter from the sun, though visitors should be prepared for windy conditions. However, issues like reserved sites being occupied, occasional maintenance concerns, and disturbances from noisy campers can detract from the experience.

Poor experience. When we arrived to the campsite we reserved online a few weeks beforehand, another group was in our site set up with a tent, even though there was a sign at the site stating only those with reservations may occupy the site. The group refused to move from the site we paid for. There was no patrol or camp host working at the campground to assist with this issue.

The spots are nice. The desert has a unique beauty. The bathrooms were very clean and nice. Everyone kept the area clean and packed out all of their individual garbage. Very nice.

Good campsites with a great view. But the Pony Express Highway is long and rough.

Awesome place to camp but the road to get there is so washboarded that max speed is 10 mph while pulling a trailer.
