Good for an overnight...
Agree with other reviewers that this is a pretty campground, however, could only give 3 stars because of the road noise.

Large sites off highway
Rolled in here about 5pm on a Monday night, found a nice flat site to park our van. 3/5 sites available, appears to be lots of dispersed camping nearby too. Nice pit toilet, no water. fire ring with grate and picnic table w ea site. Spring creek dried up.

Great free camping
It's a great spot, it's just a parking lot. But there's enough room for slides, Doesn't seem to have a check in and the gas station next door has free dump and potable water. (There's no sign but an employee said it was potable)

Secluded forest atmosphere: "We were the only ones there. It's super quiet, very shaded, a really ideal campground," says Aaron B. about Mottet Campground, providing contrast to more developed sites in the region.
