Agreeing with everything the review below me says. Must have been much better before all of the spots were blocked off. Moved to a different campsite because this one was bombarded. Pretty view.

We stayed here 2 nights and enjoyed our stay for the most part. The highlight is that you’re among all of the beautiful saguaros next to a gorgeous mountain. Noteworthy mentions:

A long dirt road to get to the sites. Gets sketchy in some parts.

Not as many sites available as you’d think. Looks like may 5-6?

The mountain is a ways away from most of the sites.

The mountain itself doesn’t have any marked trails and is a bit of a free for all but we enjoyed exploring it.  Beautiful sunsets.

A lot of helicopter activity above.

Very large space between sites.

Beware of teddy bear cholla cactus! They are everywhere, grab right onto you if you brush them gently by accident. Very painful to get out. View photos.

This has been our favorite campsite of our road trip so far. Noteworthy mentions: It is off the beaten path. It’s free. There are free roaming cattle There are endless rocks to explore and climb. It will keep your attention for days. Not many people here. Campfires allowed. Would recommend a 4x4 to get to further sites. Awesome remnants of Native American activity. You’re right next to where you wanna be. Thumbs up.

This was our only experience with a KOA and for being a chain campground it was better than we expected. I think this is probably one of the better KOAs compared to ones we’ve driven past. It’s not on the busiest road like others are. So it was somewhat quiet. It had a nice view. The open air kitchen it offered was top notch and a nice break from cooking on our propane camping stove. We were the only ones in the tent sites so that probably made the experience better because we enjoy solitude. I’m sure it gets filled in the warmer months. The people working there are nice. The showers are warm. No complaints really.

This place was a convenient location near Austin and was on the Colorado River. Noteworthy mentions:

Easy last minute booking which was nice because we couldn’t find many other camping spots nearby for this price.

It was pretty quiet except for the cars on the nearby road.

There were plenty of sites though some were better than others. Sites on the River seem best. Sites 30-50 where we stayed do the job but some were missing fire pits and tables.

It smelled a bit swampy.

The portapotty was clean.

There was tubing in the River available but not open when we were there.

Seems like it would be a nice family spot in the warmer weather.

We were in Sedona Thanksgiving weekend.. either not the brightest idea or Sedona is nearly a tourist trap at this point, despite it being a magical place of beautiful landscape and kind people. After being swarmed by campers at Coconino Forest Dispersed Camping Area, this place is a breath of fresh air. Located in a forest of pine trees. We are pretty much the only people here. We’re allowed a fire. It’s quiet. It’s free. It was only 2 minutes instead of 20 minutes down a rocky dirt road. Thumbs up.

State park near Alabama/Mississippi border. Nice park. Chose to do primitive camping for $15 plus tax, but they offer other options too. -dispersed camping -some sites near lake -mediocre fire pits -picnic table -quiet aside from other campers -other campers seem like they get kind of rowdy there, but this was also a holiday weekend -the sites aren’t numbered and are hard to find in the dark because the fire pits and picnic tables are randomly placed throughout the woods. It was like a treasure hunt to find them. -the amenities were far away which is why we’re giving it 4 stars.

For $3 this campground was worth it all in all. Points to consider: -The drive in is 8 miles in on an unpaved, backcountry road with varying inclines on slippery mixture of clay and gravel through hunting recreation area. We were in a Ford Explorer. Everybody else was in trucks. Good for them. -Seemed to be no hiking trails in immediate area so you’re confined once you get there if you were hoping to explore outside of the campgrounds..unless your car is well equipped for that backcountry road in. You can take a walk on the road that gets you there. We did find an interesting old cemetery off the trail. -no potable water -no electricity -there are port a potties -it’s beautifully silent out there aside from fellow campers -sits along a creek -it’s $3

Had a nice experience here. Amber, the host, was very kind and accommodating. She showed us around the grounds which has horses, pigs, chickens, a natural spring, and fruits/vegetables/mushrooms growing around the property. The grounds are conveniently located near the city of Asheville and hiking trails. There was a shared gazebo, cozy fire pit, and cold showers. The only downside was that there wasn’t a secluded spot available for car camping, even though Amber did figure something out for us to be able to stay. Would recommend to get away from your typical campground.

Ended up at Elizabeth Furnace after a friend recommended it. For the price ($10/night and 50% off if you have a National Park Pass), it was pretty good. In the valley outside of Shenandoah, it was a nice spot to return to at night. There are also some hiking trails across the street. Would recommend if you are okay with the camp sites being pretty close together. Also, the road is right next to the sites.

Had a wonderfully relaxing time at this campground. The amenities were new, the owners were friendly, the grounds smelled like pine trees, and the experience of being away from the crowd up on the ridge was just what we were looking for. Would definitely recommend.
