Off the beaten track

I just picked this campground off the map. It seemed like a long drive in flat wilderness to reach it south of the I 40. The campsite was charming, very quiet. The showers were nice. The campsites had a fire pit covered table and picnic bench. The camp host kindly gave me a gas cylinder when mine didn’t work. -$14 excellent value - in California similar is $45 a night!

Nice location...perfect for an overnight

There are two camping areas here, Mesquite Loop & Pecos. Mesquite appeared to be more popular with tent campers which is where we camped. The site had a covered picnic table, fire pit (but burning was prohibited during our visit) and ample space to set up a tent. Lake was within view of the site and a boat ramp was located down the road. Beautiful morning sunrise.
