What campers say
Small, affordable campground in a remote canyon setting with scenic views and dark skies ideal for stargazing. Sites are flat and generally well groomed with ramadas and picnic tables; big rigs can fit though access road and interior dirt roads are rough in places and there is a steep grade entering the loop. Facilities include clean restrooms with running water and a dump station but no potable water or hookups; payment is self-service and some visitors report exact cash required. Creek and wildlife (burros, turtles, cattle) add interest but can contribute to odors and occasional noise. Host presence is reported and nearby hiking is available.
