"No hookups but there’s water around the campsites and picnic tables and fire pits. Excellent little campground with maybe a dozen or so sites. Clean & well maintained."
"Other than the snow the road was in good condition and easy to drive in our class c."

"One person was here to walk her dogs for a bit but otherwise we had the whole place to ourselves."

"This was a lovely spot next to a small creek, and several sites had access to it."
"Inexpensive free shower and had access to do laundry. Worked well for our camper van.
Close to the wild refuge. Walked the 3 mile loop before heading out of town."

"The park was easy to find, but a slow drive from the turn off in Likely due to the road being a little rough."
ScoutThis was a lovely spot next to a small creek, and several sites had access to it. We towed a 18ft travel trailer and found lots of spaces it would fit, though I wouldn't recommend anything longer than about 25 feet. The restrooms were clean and stocked and several sites had stone stoves as well as fire rings. We used our GPS vs Google maps, had no problem finding the campground. It was secluded and had plenty of shade. We only stayed one night traveling through, but would definitely stay again.
RangerWe came here on a recon trip to see if our 26' fifth wheel toyhauler would fit in the spots and the condition of the road to reach this place.
We found this to be a very nice and under used campground. There was one other camper here, spoke to them and they stated they have been the only campers in the week they spent.
The road was well maintained and smooth. We will certainly come back to visit with the toyhauler and RZR. Many FS roads to explorer here.
There are allegedly 12 sites here, we were hard pressed to find them. the main area is graveled with 3 sites, the area to the north is dirt and we saw 4 sites.
Based on the other review we expected to see wild horses and didn't see any or evidence of them either.
RangerDue to the remote location, be prepared to have everything you need before heading there.
Co Rd 502 is narrow but paved (Mail Rte Rd). 12 miles
Co Rd 506 Tuledad Rd is dirt, unimproved and has some washboard areas. Drive slow and you will be ready for the culvert crossing that have washed out a bit but at high speed can cause damage to your vehicle. 11 miles
Driving slow is needed for several reasons. 1. to avoid hitting poor road areas too fast and damaging your rig. 2. to spot and take pictures of wildlife 3. Basic respect to keep road from degrading further.
We did not come across another person while driving in or out or during our stay at the campground.
Tables in each site and fire rings, clean from trash. Vault toilets were also clean.
Reservoir was down but still had enough water for the birds to enjoy.
Excellent for night sky viewing.
We have a 26' toy hauler fifth wheel, it has high ground clearance and upgraded suspension so we would had no difficulty with the road, when we come back with it. This was just a recon trip.
Downside: this is surrounded by public land, Dodge Ranch so you can't explorer off the road. Makes the use limited to light weight boat, kayak or paddle board. If you like to just go to camp, sit and relax, the you can certainly do that.
Advantage: Evidence of lots of wildlife, we saw pronghorn antelope on the way, a couple of foxes and plenty of birds of prey. No people
RangerWe did not camp because we were doing a campground recon. There were 3 of the 8 sites that we could park our 26' fifth wheel trailer.
During our visit there was only one family using the facility. It is a small campground, vault toilets and was clean when we were there.
We plan to come back in the future. We visited on a Sunday afternoon.
GuideNice quick pull in campground while traveling. Campground right next to highway. Campground was deserted on a weekend and it didn’t look like anyone has been here very clean.
ScoutPlum creek is a well maintained forest service campground on Davis creek. Quiet, serene forest setting, good overnight stop coming south on hwy 395.
TravelerSmall campground with 10 or so sites. 6 of them are drive up, and there are 4 tent only sites that you have to cross a small bridge to get to. We walked around back there, and you can tell these barely ever get used. Site #5 fit our 22 foot travel trailer and truck really well. The loop around is tight, but you could probably get through with a 24 or 25 foot trailer if you were careful. I wouldn't try anything bigger than that though.
This was a decent (and free!) place to spend a night if you are traveling through, but probably not worth it to spend more than a day. We came on a Friday afternoon in mid July and had the whole place to ourselves. By that night we had one neighbor, so it is definitely quite, and even during the busiest times you will probably get a spot no problem.
The creek is small, and access is somewhat hard to get to since it has steep sides on a lot of it. There are quite a few ticks that like the grass near the waters edge too. We were careful and still ended up pulling a few off that night, so use caution. Didn't notice any hanging around the campsites themselves.
Also, you are within sight of several properties and houses right next to the campground, so it doesn't really feel all that remote or private. Someone ended up cruising up and down the road in the middle of the night with loud engines, and it kept us awake, so all and all wasn't a super pleasant camping experience, but if all you need is a quick overnight spot it would do the trick.
GuideIt was great. For a free campground it has space, bathrooms, and trash bins. You can't ask for me from a free spot than this! It was chilly even in June
TravelerOff the highway in the high desert is an oasis of an RV Park. As you travel the dirt road, you may wonder. But when you get there, you come upon a very family orientated facility. With all the features you need to recharge and relax. Laundry facilities, showers, and of course, power and wifi. The great center lawn has room for all who stay. The hosts are eager to help and treated us like family. Great place!!
