I stayed here during one of their peak season times in October and the camp was packed but the staff was super friendly and organized and got everyone where they needed to be. The park is just far enough off the main highway to reduce some of the street noise which is nice. As far as price and accomodations, I feel like it was well positioned for how affordable it is. Clean, quiet and stress free. Really enjoyed my stay here!

What a pleasant surprise. Less than $45 for 50-amp full hook ups. Nice staff, walked us to our site, helped guide us in and were easy to deal with. We walked to the nearby grocery store (at the gas station) and were amazed the the effort put into the selections. Great character, perfect location for our travels north of Las Vegas.

Got a shot here last minute traveling back to AZ from Utah. This was a great place to stop at heading back. It was very quiet and right off the highway behind the gas station. Could not get in touch with someone on the phone. Ended up just booking online.

Nice people. The hookups are great. It’s a gravel lot, but the spaces are good size. We went out at night, the place is crawling with roaches. None got in the coach, but they are everywhere.

Great little RV park, perfect for our overnight stay while driving home from San Diego. We stayed here in early June and it was quite warm. Our pull through site was clean and everything worked. The site was difficult to locate because the site numbers were faded or not present. The water pressure seemed very high so make sure you use a pressure regulator. The owners son helped us out and was very pleasant. There were some residential sites but they were located in the rear part of the park. There were about 4-5 other overnight RVers and we were spaced far enough apart to give plenty of room. A creek runs along the edge of the park with several mature trees which gives a nice sound and shade. Grocery store and gas station is right next to the park which was convenient for picking us some ice. We would certainly stay here again
