Private and quiet
We rant camped here for the tarantula migration. Sites were full by Thursday. Quiet campground with views for days
Off the beaten path and beautiful.
We boondocked with the kiddos in a travel trailer. Saw two other cars, two people, and one other campsite was occupied. There are 4 numbered campsites, and an overfill pull off with a fire ring just before the campground on the left that may or may not supposed to be there. April weather is great, we came here for some reprieve from our mountain winter and were not disappointed. Even in April, bring plenty of water, it’s easy to dehydrate here. The canyons and rock formations are beautiful. Campsite 1 has great rocks right behind it, fun for the kids to play on but more exposed to winds. Campsite two is better for tent camping and has a cool sand pit. Campsite 3 is flat and great for a trailer or RV, and right by the toilet (where we stayed), and campsite 4 is a short walk to some fun terrain.
Very secluded
Great camping experience overall. Bathrooms were clean but the toilet paper isn’t kept up with so make sure you bring some. And dehydration is very real out there, take water. There is no pump. Only 3 dedicated camping spots, with a fire pit. Bugs were bad when we went, LOTS of gnats. But it was quiet and peaceful, beautiful weather too. Lots of exploring opportunities and hiking. If you follow the main trail about a mile, you’ll see an old homestead which was really neat. We went on Sunday at noon and had our pick of the three spots as all three were packing up to leave, but if you go on a Friday afternoon or Saturday, you may not get a spot. FCFS.
