There is plenty of open space along the access road and plenty of space. This type of camping is exactly what a lot of working parents want for themselves and kids. The village is far enough that you need to drive but not far enough where you can’t get dinner and head back to the campground.
I decided to stay near a campsite that had excellent 5G reception (Better than my house😁)
There are no signs leading to the campground. You will have to use the Dyrt app or use the topo map from forest service.
The campground is exactly what a person would expect from the KOA brand. If you are traveling with a family and it’s your first time tent camping, this will make your experience enjoyable. There is a KOA store but it has business hours. Luckily there is a gas station that is walking distance. Pool and spa were nice. Bathrooms were clean.
The only downside is the noise from the highway. Oh, cell service is not good. You’ll have to rely on their Wi-Fi.
The cement pad is about 150 yards wide and about 350 yards long. We got here as the sun was coming down. It was windy and warm but not too bad considering that this is the desert. There is absolutely nothing out here. You’ll have to bring your own shade. Nearest fuel station is 19 miles away.
I enjoyed it because it was just clean and the night sky was clear. Great for stargazing.
There is the historical side of it. It’s amazing that Patton trained out here. Over a million troops trained in the area.
