Small and Sunny

 This campground sits just below a highway bridge which makes it noisy but you also get to hear the river as almost all the campsites sit next to it. The road down is potholed, also this would not be a good spot for larger rigs or trailers. We were in 26’ class C and we seemed monstrous in this petite campground. It is quite a small campground with a pit toilet but we did not see any drinking water. 

Fire pits and tables at each site. This campground is almost entirely in the sun so it can be hot. It is also very dusty. We decided not to stay here because of the heat, but would come back when temperatures were cooler because it was only $12/night!  The campground was completely unoccupied when we visited in September.

Zero cell reception ATT, Verizon, or TMobile.
