Small campground, but surprisingly spacious. It's tucked a bit farther back into the mountains, which is honestly part of the fun. You don’t need a 4x4 vehicle, but high clearance is definitely recommended. I wouldn’t bring a Prius, Camry, Civic, or anything low to the ground, there are a few rough spots where you could easily get stuck or damage your car. It’s far removed from the hustle of everyday life, quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. Lots of shade and plenty of space between sites. Vault toilets are available and decent, depending on who used them last. There’s no water nearby, so be sure to bring plenty. Also, there’s no trash service, so pack out what you pack in. As expected, no showers. (It’s camping 😁) The area is dog-friendly and generally quiet, except for one issue (more on that below). We did have some wasps show up every time we were cooking or had water out, but they didn’t sting or cause any problems. Just something to be aware of. Lots of birds and wildlife around, and when it's quiet, the sound of the wind moving through the trees is absolutely beautiful. There aren’t many hiking trails directly at the campground, which might be a downside for some. However, Green Valley Lake is not far away and makes for a great trip to and from the campsite. There’s swimming, fishing, they have boat rentals, or you can just relax by the water. If you do swim or fish, theirs is a small fee since the lake is privately owned. Cool owners.There are also a couple of mellow, local restaurants nearby if you want a break from cooking. Very chill-mellow vibe type of place. The Downside: Off-Road Vehicles Unfortunately, the campground sits right next to an off-highway vehicle trail (OHV)So, depending on the crowd, you will hear engines and loud music, especially during weekends or holidays. During our stay, there was a large group (20+ people) with several off-road carts and quads. They started early, around 7 a.m. blasting music and running engines throughout the day. At night, they were doing donuts near the entrance, kicking up dust that blew directly into campsites 1 and 2 (where we stayed). A couple of riders even kept on driving through out the campsite and in between the tent spots without any regards for others. My neighbor eventually asked them to slow down near the sites, and they did, for a bit. But it didn’t last. They also ignored the numerous "No Campfires" and "Fire Danger High" signs and still started a fire, showing little concern for safety or other campers. Despite the off-road noise and that one inconsiderate group, we still had a good time. Just be aware of the setting and know what to expect.Bring your own water, Pack out your trash, no fires unless explicitly allowed, be prepared for potential dust/noise from off-road vehicles, enjoy the nature, peace, and shade when it's quiet.

It’s definitely outdoor living. Toilet only. And the road to get there is very rough. Like you shouldn’t go if you have a Prius. But we had a great time.

Very secluded and off the map. Be warned that there are 4 miles of unpaved road to get to the campsite, 4WD and high clearance vehicles only! Saw someone in a Tesla totally get stuck!!! No RVs, sedans or non-4WD vehicles!!! No water, no waste, toilets only!!! Campsite have picnic tables & fire pits. Check fire regulations before heading out....

Beautiful and well maintained. The only bad part to complain was the rude camping neighbors, other than that a wonderful experience.

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.
