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.

  • Just as I mentioned in the review, it's a dry climate, but a nice change from the surrounding area.
