My son and I stayed here the last week in June. The weather was mid yo low 80s. I stayed at campsite 1 and there was only one other group there on the entire campsite. The campsite does require a high clearance vehicle to get there but most stock SUVs should be fine. My son and I tent camped for two days. The site was big and had plenty of shade. The bathroom was a very short walk from our site and decently maintained. The site included water and a fire pit, but due to fires in the area/ weather they were both restricted. My son and I hiked to the top of a tall rock in the site and watched the sunset which only took maybe 15/20 minutes. There are several trails located close by to drive on and explore. We also used the private lake about 20 minutes from camp. For about $40 for me and my son, we rented a row boat and fished for an hour. The $40 allowed us to also fish from the shore. Unfortunately didn't catch anything but it was a good way to relax and enjoy lunch while our lines were in the water. Overall I think the site was nice. I prefer less people om the site when camping so this was perfect. I think the time of the season and the dirt road to the site helped limit the traffic.

Awesome experience, friendly people and staff. FYI come in the winter if you want to have a wood fire. You know fire regulations in affect during summer and fall

We were lucky enough to learn one or two, but still the same, Latino songs during the weekend. Thanks to the neighbors who had the energy to share them for the whole camp from morning till midnight! There is no water at the camp. You can reach it by a regular car if you avoid Edison Rd. Overall, it's a stunning place—clean and beautiful. Spots 1 and 27 are the best but still depend on the neighborhood's behavior.

Nice campground, just be aware of the rugged trail over to it. My 1998 ford ranger was able to get through it, but make sure you keep an eye on the gps. I got very lost trying to get to the campsite and my gps kept taking me down the trail for some reason. The site is good, just make sure you bring plenty of water and firewood. There are a few trails and dirt biking trails around the campsite too. There is a nice river and small waterfall area down the hill (southwest of the campgrounds). Lots of room between campsites and there are lots of trees that offer shade. Each site comes with a firepit, table, and a locker to keep camping equipment in. Great campsite for atvs and hiking.

Great campground. The road getting there is a little rough but nothing crazy. We had a blast, the only negative thing was that the creek was bone dry. Other than that it was a great trip.

Enjoyed the remote campground. Pit toilets get cleaned daily.

I give this campground 4 of the five, only because of the road getting in, it is for sure rough, (I was told it is better after it gets graded).I would not recommend any large trailers or RVs (when I say large, I mean anything over 20', I myself would not take a toy hauler or camper trailer unless it was very small or even a single axle with good clearance. I don't care what the site says or how the pics look, they are small spots). Some of the camp spots are first come first serve, the others can be reserved. They have two vault toilets onsite, they were clean, the site also has water but it can be limited at times or very slow. Each site has a picnic table, fire ring and a lockbox to protect food from bears. This is an off-road campground, ride straight from camp to the trails, expect some dust and noise, that's what this place is for, if that's not for you, there are many other non-off road campgrounds to go to.

Super fun offroad drive getting there, the girls loved it. Open yet plenty of shade, small hikes nearby, boulders to explore, will visit again. Make sure you bring plenty of water and wood as the water is very limited and also no one on site to sell wood. Very spacious between campsites.

Challenging road to get there but beautiful spot with tons of nearby trails for OHV or MTB.
