★★★★★ 5.0 Brandon Hart · Oct 2025

This was our first time camping in the desert. This landscape is just breathtaking. Every way you turn is picturesque. The park is well maintained and the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The coyotes woke us up twice with their yipping and yapping. Never experienced that before, but I’m glad I did. I would highly recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a place to relax, take in breathtaking views and go on day hikes in the area. We’ll definitely be back!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Diane Howard · Mar 2025

This review is because it gave me what I was looking for which was peace and quiet. It's not a busy place when I was there. The playground is very basic. It looks like it's from the seventies. There is a old stage coach building, but looks like it's being redone. It's very interesting to know the history here and there's hikes close by so it's great, and very reasonably price.

Its a very nice campground with amenities although at $24 a night to pitch a tent is why it only gets 3 stars. I dont understand why the county doesnt lower cost to attract more campers? It would be a full campground nearly constantly if it were 10 bucks but I guess to whomever sets the price getting an occasional 24 from a camper is better than getting 10 bucks from 30 campers daily...hhhmmmmm

★★★★★ 5.0 Summer Miller · Oct 2022

We LOVE staying here! Our camp host is so sweet and so knowledgeable of the area. She works very hard to keep everything nice and clean and looking neat. If you can you definitely need to stay here. Not far away is a place to swim, but we prefer to stay here. We plan on being back for Halloween. There will be a special guest speaker telling stories of the area and such. We are very excited about it.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jenny J Smith · Apr 2022

This small park has everything you want to camp 🏕 we are van campers and all we need was water. We wanted solitude and got it and then some more. The camp host was wonderful and sweet! The campgrounds are spacious, leveled and so well kept. The flushing toilet were very clean. There were trails everywhere, and you feel safe at all times. At nights you’ll hear Coyotes passing by. Its very quiet here, no parties or loud people. We stayed 3 days and will def return. We loved it very much!!
