Great spot

There are some unfriendly signs prior to your arrival but once you get here it’s a wonderful campground. A bit crowded when we arrived around 7:30pm but we managed to find a site without issue. There’s the standard campground pay pole mentioning a $20 fee but it seems to be welded shut so I assume this is free given it’s BLM land. Otherwise, two rivers running through, fire pits and picnic tables at each camp site. Saw multiple pull behinds and possibly an RV, lots of tent campers, and myself in the truck bed (as I prefer a real bed). Will definitely be back if I pass through again!

Nice and silent spot

Its first come, first serve. I didn't get a place but the location seemed nice with a little creek. A bit colder here due to the mountains. There is benches and a bonfire place at each spot. Price is 15 Dollar per night!

Quiet Camping

Nice and somewhat isolated campground. Lots of ATVs and bikes but not super crazy. Beautiful, clean, and lots of flying bugs. Bathrooms stared out clean and got worse as more people used them. I’ll go back! $15 a night Dogs allowed
