This Campground is Closed, Gated, and Locked.

This Campground is Closed, Gated, and Locked. And has been for the last couple of years. I have no idea when or if it will reopen. But I can tell you the grass is 3ft to 4 ft tall on the roadway. Probably a great place to stay when it's open.

A Nice, Little Oasis in a Desolate Area

The surrounding area is very dry and full of sagebrush. Watch out for cattle as you drive to this campground! The campground itself is surprisingly very clean, the restrooms don't stink, and there is a little bit of grass at each camp site for tents. The camp host raises an American Flag at the entrance every morning. There is a $5 camp fee, which in my opinion, is reasonable.
