GREAT! as usual, if you're into boondocking this is the place for you! Great water, the downside is limit is 0! And there is only two restrooms all the way at the top of the hill. But it is closing for the on 9/14 @ 5:00pm.

Campground is clean, not overly crowded and off-roader friendly. Many of the camp spots can accommodate large rv’s. There is also a stream that flows right past the campground.

The campground is alright. It’s not the greatest because of all the dust that gets stirred up by cars, recreational bikes and atv’s that pass by. Also there is a lot of noise throughout the day from bikes and atvs. Currently, the rest area before Big Springs campground is closed so there is not water to fill up nearby. No hook ups or water, so you will have to fill up before you come. Edit as of 6/24/25: rest area is open.

Actually quite a good campground for being free ($10 suggested donation per night). If you really want free there are many dispersed sites nearby. Bear boxes provided. Sites vary in shade, privacy, size. There are several very nice sites. No garbage services that I could find. There are little pieces of obsidian all over the ground.

This place is a fun little motel. The interior of my room was full of country decor, which I like. I was there on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and boy was it busy because there was a music festival nearby. The worker, Maddy, sure had her hands full. I can't belive one person ran that whole place by herself. She was really helpful to me and even let me use her cell phone as my wasn't working. The only low point was Monday morning when I was leaving. I was having my morning coffee in the fantastic patio area and I guess a manager was there with her dog and she started to bad mouth the other worker as I'm just trying to be peaceful and i didn't want to hear it. I felt really uncomfortable. Plus the dog wouldn't stop barking so I left. Other than that I would recommend this place. Close to stores and restaurants.

Good flowing creek along the campground. Good for playing in the water and fishing. Nice big sites.

So, it is a free usfs camp, which is rare. The area is very nice, one nominal usfs pit toilet (ie two doors two holes and the trash is extremely difficult to remove so don't do that please), and it is right next to the highway. (2 miles.) RVers would call it roughing it, and jeepers call it a hotel. Clean, obvs it has good camp hosts.

We loved this campsite 🏕. The camp host were polite. We will definitely be going back and it was really clean.
