Totally concur with the reviews

It is a small but very nice campground. No electricity water or sewer but trash toilets and privacy. Would be hot in high summer and cold right now end of November but if you have a generator and can be off the grid what a cute place to be.

Dispersed Camping at it's Best!

Secluded camping about 1.5 miles in from US Rt 380!  On BLM land, the dirt road in is wash boarded in spots, but hey it's free.  Three sites with room for bigger rigs, have picnic tables under shelters and trash cans.  There are also pit toilets.  Moreover, there's undeveloped dispersed sites further in, but high clearance vehicles is advised.  Great Verizon cell service. We were there in November, and it got cold at night (one night down to 14 degrees F), during the day temps were in the mid 60's...so be prepared for cold nights and comfortable days.
