Close to freeway

Great area, only downside is it is close to the freeway, so there will be lights visible from traffic as well as traffic sounds / sirens

Great quiet spot for a rest!

Quiet! Many others, but SO much land, they were quite far from us! Lovely and cool in May! Praise Yahweh!

Far enough from the interstate, no noise! (No earplugs needed at night!)

Pretty basic spot, sites are nice and spread out so even when there are a lot of people you are not on top of each other. Easy access to the park and some nice views. The sites overlook I-10 so expect some road noise

Quick camp at BLM outside of JTNP

The place was pretty nice. Easy to find right off of 10. The noise of traffic wasn’t a problem at all. We had a nice fire and it wasn’t horribly cold at night and had a beautiful morning here too.

Easy to get to, scenic, quiet, close

Great spot, no noise from I-10, simple to get to, scenic, and very close to the park. Great cell reception, we both worked remote all week on numerous simultaneous video calls without issue on hotspot.

Dispersed only

This is dispersed/rustic camping only and not an RV park. Decent cell phone coverage and lots of open lots on BLM land just outside of park entrance. Large RV friendly on in certain areas. Stay on harder surfaces as you will sink.

This park is very BIG

Great Park! 35 miles across Great RV campground at the Hwy 10 entrance and nowhere else. Small vehicle campgrounds scattered around the park. Boulders are Amazing. We love Black Water campgrounds but they are starting to say No Class A units they have six sites.

Gorgeous

Right by entrance to park, be careful there are some soft sand areas. I did fine in my FWD Equinox. Good cell service and a lot of established sites with rock fire rings.
