We arrived the beginning of August and were concerned about arriving after some heavy rains in the area, but the road in was fine. Off the road was a bit spongey but handled the weight of our RAM 3500 DRW loaded with fuel and our Arctic Fox 811 with no issues. I would be concerned a bit immediately after rain or some prolonged rain. There are plenty of places that can accommodate a couple of rigs or some single site places. Everything available both close to the road as well as back out of site. There’s plenty of downed wood to provide for many nights of campfires. We saw a few trucks going in and out during the day, but it was essentially just us for 5 days. The night sky was perfect to watch the Perseid’s meteor shower. This is definitely a place that we look forward to returning to.

Only drawback is having to “straighten up” from the knuckleheads who busted beer bottles around the fire pit and then burning the remaining debris they left behind.

This is a perfect place for us to visit our daughter in nearby Tulsa as we basically sleep there and that’s it (as do most of the folks there). The sites are directly on top of each other. But it’s a 3 point hook up next to a large mid-western city … should you expect more? It is a bit on the pricey side for the amenities provided, but again …. big city costs.

The showers are well maintained and it’s a great set up they’ve got. Really appreciated the shower and laundry facilities.

We spent nearly a week here while visiting. The place is in fact loaded with ground squirrels, but they posse no issues. Rarely are they near campers. Mountain lions and Wild boars on the other hand were a bit more problematic. We saw only one mountain lion, but it was enough to keep us on notice (as one might expect to be in mountain lion country), the boars were an issue for 3 out of 5 nights. On those nights they would come in a root around for whatever they might be able to find. We chased them out on more than one occasion.

Our cell service here was sufficient to send and receive emails, messages and talk in our phones (AT&T). The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Only wish was that it was closer to the coast and the boar issue wasn’t one.

We were there in July mid week and the garbage needed tending to, the bathrooms weren’t very clean. The site was beautiful (except for the smell of a rotting animal from somewhere) and the location perfect within a short distance from the “Trail of Giants” (about 14 miles away). Cell service is non-existent and WiFi is only near the office. They don’t hide any of this and are sure to let you know. You’re in the middle of nowhere, I’m not certain why you might expect more.

We began our attempt at a stay on the top of the hill (that’s where the best cell service is I hear), but left there because practically every available pedestal I checked came back as some form of negative set up. The ones that didn’t were in full sun. Finally located one in the shade and after leveling and beginning to finish the set up, I discover that the hose bib is leaking significantly and California is dealing with a drought. Can’t let it go. Contact the office and they immediately sent someone to deal with it. Long story short …. we need to move. Maintenance fella takes me on a ride to see other sites (there were several other nicer ones … but lower on the hill with moderate at best cell service). We dropped down a level to a very nice, shaded spot. It so sorry that we did. Cell service wasn’t as good, but I knew coming in that there would be issues.
The bathrooms left a bit to be desired. I can’t say they were dirty, but certainly out dated and in need of some TLC.
