Had a great time camping here. Bathrooms are clean and have plenty of warm water. The camp also has a dish washing station we found cool if we were to camp in a tent. The camp ground host were great people. Can’t wait to come out and camp again.

Had a great time! Showers were clean and hot. The atv trail was super tight though. Definitely take it easy on there. Power line trail was awesome. You can't ride at night. We did rent a spot, that was a hill, so that was a bit uncomfortable for us. The dirt road to get there and leave was rough coming out because it rain the night before. Would I go back yes, but I won't take my atv on the tight trail.

We stayed in #3 for 2 nights we had a blast riding the trails. The camp host I believe his name is Chris and his wife. The two of them are doing a fantastic job in keeping the campground and trails nice. They both were very friendly as well. Cant wait to get back out there.

Found ourselves down a four wheeler trail and got stuck. Oops. But the area is beautiful and plenty of 4x4 trails to have fun on. But if the trucks small enough and you miss the marker you could ended up like us. Made it about 1000ft from the trailhead when we got stuck.

First come first serve for every site. Multiple bathhouses in excellent condition and well maintained. Campsites aren’t private and are out in the open, but great experience nonetheless. Groundskeepers are so friendly! Great trails for off-roading!!

Friendly staff you can park your car anywhere in the park if your backpacking or hiking
Okay the camp grounds keeper or ranger whatever lady said you know if we park inside we pay the 20 bucks that you know get a little more coverage because they see who comes in and out their trailer was there.
There's a discount if you have like a frequent flyer card or something I don't know.
We have refilled our water bottles there and was pretty clean and quiet when we were there but imagine it gets filled when the time of the year or the weekends right.

If you like off grid camping, then this is the place for you. There are no hook ups here. OHV trails are connected to this campground. We enjoyed watching people riding their toys and having a great time. In the evening, all the day use people leave and the campground turns into a quiet and relaxing place. Our campground hosts were lovely.

We love this place! It’s out in the middle of the forest. Has a shower house and flush toilets. The host is pretty awesome as well.

The campground are usually fairly empty so good sites are almost always available. Less people using the bathroom facilities mean they are cleaner and never a wait. There's a black bear that likes to hang out near the shutdown facility that you can sometime see at night. The stars are gorgeous.

One of our favorite places to camp. Wife likes that it has showers and restrooms. Open sky for stargazing. Off-road trails for ATV’s. Great Jeep trails.

shhhhhh like keeping the one a secret. It is very challenging riding for the first two miles on a dirt bike but if you can make it that far it's a dream afterward. Even when it's crowded you rarely run into people in the trail.
Also teo if my favorite people volunteer at the camp. Great people and I look forward to showing my kids off Everytime we go there.

So many stars! One of the most beautiful places on earth. Tons of wildlife, including deer, coyote, wild boar, bears, etc. Great place to camp. Bathrooms are great also, has hot water showers.

Each site was big and roomy. The bathrooms and shower rooms were clean. The 4 wheel and dirt bike riding trails were excellent.

Great sandy and forest trails. Closed by Forest Service about 1 year ago because big rigs continued to get stuck in mud near camp sites. I ride their on a day trip.

Great trails. Wish the campground was open. Camp host and trail maintenance volunteers were very helpful. Will do this again.
