Should have looked closer

This spot is great overall, I just wish we had understood the spots a little more before coming. Before I get to the campsite though, let’s talk that drive in! It was a wild ride shortly after leaving the Interstate. The mention on this hill is not to be underestimated. As long as you are towing within your means, you should have no problem getting to the camp site, but it is steep and tight. The dirt road has some deep eroding on the passenger side as you head in. Be careful! Then you get to the castle guard, and we thought the first gate on your right was a tight corner. I get out and check it out, then look up and see campers further down the hill so I thought those must be tent only sites. Not the case, but I had already ruled them out (drove from Mesquite this morning and ready to stop and rest!) and went in searching for an opening down the road before he drives the truck and trailer down. Getting into the site was tricky, but not impossible. Again, if you are towing with your means. We have an F350 with a long bed and a 33’ trailer, wiggling about 55’ into a passenger side back in on quite the incline. Were we a bit too big? Most likely, but it worked. There is a turn around, so you can get back out. Finally, I’m walking the dog after relaxing for a bit and remember reading reviews of people in those upper spots in trailers/RVs and feel quite dumb for what could have been a much more level and quiet spot.
