This spot did not live up to the description. The views of the mountains here are incredible but this particular was really tight. The rock tub looked great in pictures but was a little tepid and right in the parking area with a lot of traffic. We ended up camping on the other side of the road which was fine for one night. People really bomb down the dirt road. The are other better hot springs in the other we found so it up being memorable.

If you are looking for a spot near the South Rim this is a good choice for 30 and under rigs. The spots can be a little tricky to get into due to turns and trees. Some trees showed signs of damage from RVs. Popular with Cruise America RV renters who won't be getting a full deposit back. Very walkable to the Grand Canyon. The nearby RV trailer campground looked like a parking lot in comparison.

Great location on the water. The park has a boat ramp where we launched our paddle boards and enjoyed paddling around the area. Awesome sunsets every night. Enjoyed the beaches and area.

On the negative side the park is dusty, not terribly clean, and could use a little more maintenance. Overall the location makes up for any negatives.

9/29/17 Update -
We came back in the fall and really loved the park. Not crowded and not dusty (maybe due to recent rains). The sunsets were just as awesome and the paddleboarding is great. Good AT&T on the Mobley. I added a YouTube Video link in the blog section.

This is a nice BLM campground with great views of the lake and surrounding area. The lake is drying up and our friends said there was lots of flies and growth in the summer when they went there but it was fine for us in the spring.

We stopped in here for a night to break up the drive from Washington to Oregon . Really nice campground. Lots of trees and grass. Out in the country but close enough to the freeway. Seemed really quiet in our loop and the sites had nice separation. Rate reflects Zone Pass member rate.

We enjoyed our stay here and visit to the park. It's a little run down side like a lot of the National Park campgrounds run by government contractors.

We enjoyed our stay despite weathering a massive storm and mostly rain. Close to Old Florence and the Oregon Dunes. Some of the spots are a little tight and full hookups are limited but we scored a nice sunny (when there was sun) and full hookup. A quick three mile drive to an awesome beach. Nice pool, hot tub, and lodges.

Rate reflects Thousand Trails Zone pass.

The sites here are pretty big and nicely paved. There are no views of the canyon but it's a quick drive to the overlooks. There are a lot of stickers on the dirt parts of the sites so you have to watch out.

A quick note on the cell coverage if you need to work here - there is no T-mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. We had roaming/extended on AT&T and Verizon and it was very slow.

We stayed here on the way up to Olympic National Park. This is a basic park with great access to a large beach. Coming from Oregon we found Ocean Shores and the beaches here to be just OK. Nothing too spectacular.

The back area closer to the beach is water and electric. Sites are pretty close together in a big grassy field. Kind of like camping in a fair grounds. Short walk down a path to the beach. Manager was very friendly and helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The sites are nicely wooded and well spaced out from the neighbors.

Pros:
-Close to Sunriver and Cascade Lakes
-Scenic area
-Great access to the Little Deschutes river
-Huge grassy off leash dog area
-Adult and family pools
-Nice lodge and lots of activities

Cons:
-Lack of sewer connection at the sites but we used the nice hot showers at the pool and bathrooms
-Can be pricey but we paid $0 with our Zone pass and they offer a Passport America discount
