"Turf next to rv parking spot, pool, laundry, showers (included in price) easy to reserve"
"It has a pool and spa, great dog walking area. Propane and store are on site"
GuideStopped in while passing through. It was memorial day weekend and Rec.gov showed 4 sites first come first serve. The entire park had otherwise been reserved. The camp host was nice and tried to push back a little saying she didn't have any spots but I showed her the app and the reservation sticker she put therefor the site for somebody the next day so it all worked out. Bathrooms were clean and they had water points around the sites. Sites were not in the best of shapes and could use someone walking around with a weedeater. Close to the boat launch which would be handy for some.
TravelerHuge ruts in dirt road, there’s room to go around them. Several Joshua Trees .
ScoutTook my partner here for her first camping trip, we had a blast. Plenty of firewood for sale from camp host, flush toilets, potable water from spigots. Definitely a good entry to camping. Close to pyramid lake about 2 miles.
ScoutThis campground is in a pretty canyon with beautiful trees. The staff is super friendly. The problem is, we were in a tent trailer and they have tons of extremely outdoor peacocks. They are beautiful, but screech VERY loudly. They poop everywhere, even on top of our trailer. Our camp site hadn't been picked up at all. There had been a party and confetti. Wrappers etc. were left in the dirt. The bathrooms (too few) were not cleaned and were very old and not kept up. Hard sided rvs would do better at this campground.
LegendJudging by the shape of the office, this place was a 60’s or 70’s KOA back in the day. The trees and bushes are fantastic. However just as our population has gotten larger over the years, so have the RVs. For a 43 footer this place is TIGHT. If you have a big rig, prolly not the best idea. But if you have a 28 footer, this place is Six Stars!!!! It has a pool and spa, great dog walking area. Propane and store are on site
GuideWe had a really good time here without having to travel too far out of the city. Was a great quick getaway with our dog. Sites vary from small and crowded to large and spacious. We camped with our square drop trailer and had little issues parking and setting up.
It seems the campsite attracts a rowdy crowd but that's expected so close to the city. Still, noisy neighbors was definitely the most negative aspect of our stay.
Restrooms were decently clean, showers were good and quarter operated. Peacocks roam the campsite and are really cool to see. The attached park has an aviary and if you follow it to the opposite side of the campgrounds, has quite some land to walk the dog around.
Guideit’s right next to the main road and flat great for a quick stop. The river runs across the ride when it’s not dry.
GuideCan get thru with any vehicle. If you go on days when’s it’s empty or minimal ppl it’s nice and peaceful, when it’s packed ppl are loud and annoying has restrooms nice hikes and close to the river that passes by.
GuideSo we came from the east side wanting to enter Edwards, but as this is an Air Force Base and so military ground, they obviously didn’t let us in. The GPS says as if you could easily go through there, but obv. they stop you. I spoke to the officer who was super kind and he didn’t know about any possibility to camp or whatsoever, beside for people who work for the military. So as a European tourist I definitely fell into a trap haha.
