Customer Reviews
Brown Spring Campground is a secluded campsite accessed via a rough, approximately 3-mile road requiring a vehicle with good ground clearance, such as trucks, all-wheel-drive vehicles, and OHVs, due to washboarding, rocks, and small washout crossings. Primarily designed for OHV activities, the campground features rock and gravel-covered camping areas making them unsuitable for tents, though some surrounding areas can accommodate tent setups. Amenities include covered picnic tables, grills, fire pits, and vault toilets. Despite significant OHV traffic in the vicinity, riders are reportedly respectful and cease activity at a reasonable hour. Overall, the campground offers a pretty and quiet environment.
Excellent! Nobody around in November. Email permit easy. Beautiful! Secluded but close to town. Quiet at night.
Ok, first off. I came here in February and nothing, I repeat. Nothing, looks like it does the rest of the year. On top of that, the "amenities" that you are paying for with their high prices are not even available during the winter. No hot tub. No pool, (understandably of course). This review is basically only about their tent spots and their fees for them. I do not recommend this place for tent campers nor for van people. Especially during the winter months. I reserved a dry tent site for $50 after taxes. It had no picnic table so I had to steal the one from the very close by neighbor campsite because there is nothing between sites. I tried the faucet and realized why the website said dry. The restrooms and showers were well kept and very clean as others have said. I'll give them that.
Great site for any off road enthusiast looking for a good challenge. Great boondocking site also but be careful around rainy days it gets quite hairy lol
This place has been incredible! ON THE WEEK DAYS! There are nine “private” sites that include gazebo, picnic table, fire pit, and the stove. Very clean pit toilets, toilet paper is included! this campsite is free! Although, a permit is required - 14 day stay limit. You can find the permit on their website. Check it out on Google. I’ve noticed some campers have printed the permit and left it on the windshield, I personally emailed mine to the BLM office. Contact them for email information. It’s been very quiet [monday - thuraday] beautiful, and welcoming. I do plan on staying the full two weeks. On the weekends, it’s absolute torture! I would be long gone if I didn’t have a ton of work to do. By mid afternoon on Friday, at least 50 to 75 locals have plowed their way into the campsite. E
