Campground Review:

When I was planning my road trip for Summer 2017 I only choose this campsite because of location. I need a campsite near Las Vegas and Red Rock Canyon and that was it.

After getting to the site I couldn't have been happier with my random site pick. First off, its in the mountains so your altitude is almost 4000 ft more than in Las Vegas so you drive out of that desert heat. When I turned off the highway about 15 miles from the site it was close to 110 degrees and when when we got to our site it was down to 85.

With mountains in every direction, the summits of which still had snow, its hard to beat the views when waking up. Unfortunately, we were only able to stay one night, but there is no doubt that we will come back here when camping in the future.

There isn't water hook-ups but you do have electrical (20 and 30 amp), flush toilets, and showers. With only 11 sites it isn't overly crowded, but can be hard to get a site. The grounds are right on the road, but we didn't have much problem with the noise at all when trying to go to bed.

Product Review:

As a Ranger for TheDyrt, I occasionally get products to test, and on this trip I was able to test the Moxie knife from CRKT. The past few camping seasons have been a little annoying without a reliable knife, and I always forget that I need one until I need it.

So, I knew that a new one was what I needed. I have loved the dependability that I've had with the Moxie. Whether it's sharpening a stick for marshmallows, cutting up food, or shaving down wood to help start a fire, I have not found an odd job that I couldn't get done with this knife.

My favorite feature is the safe release. I don't have to worry about accidentally opening up the knife, or even my son opening it up when he's not supposed to.

Camping in the GO: Day 8

During our road trip around the US, I was able to try out the GO camper from SylvanSport. At the past few sites we've stayed at, the GO has been the talk of the camp. Lately, when people ask what I like about it, I go straight to the colored coded tent poles. I've never had to question where the poles go in the GO all because SylvanSport had to foresight to eliminate a common headache by letting you know exactly where the poles go!
