Beautiful
There is no water but they are kept clean.
A lot of spots but just enough privacy for your spot.
A beautiful view!
Nice Mountain Stop Outside of Vegas
Good Campground 30-40 mins outside of Vegas. Pretty steep drive up the hill to the campground, but views are great. Hiking trails nearby. Only downside was that pavement was not flat for sleeping in the RV
Awesome and Clean Site
We loved this campsite, super clean and had a lot of privacy and room. We got lucky and snagged one of the last spots when we arrived around 5:30 PM on a Thursday.
