Beautiful scenery and quiet camping.

My first time here was over Veteran’s Day weekend and we woke up to F15s flying low overhead for Veteran’s Day. Campsites are disbursed and pleasantly of area to set up your site. Ground is flat and somewhat sandy like a beach. Other campsites seemed quite respectful and aware we are all sharing the same experience. sides were relatively clean, however, people do venture off into the Forrest area to use the restroom. That is my only concern is people do not pack out their toilet paper or their human feces. Please keep this area beautiful the way it naturally is and pack out your waste which is toxic to wildlife.

All-Inclusive Camping Area

Really nice area for any type of camping any time of the year. There are toilets at the entrance to the flats, with trash dumps but it would be a hike the farther away you camp from it so bring your own or rough it and recover it! Ground is mostly level on desert sand and you can launch a dinghy, jet ski, canoe, or kayak from the shoreline; wouldn’t trust anything larger than that but there’s a ramp in driving distance south of the campsite. Went there Indigenous Peoples day and found plenty of semi-private spaces to settle into. Recommend this for groups, solo, fishing, swimming, and families.
