This is in Anza Borrego State Park and not far from Little Blair Valley. We boondocked a bit south of here but rode our bikes to check it out. It's a nice campground and if we couldn't find a boondocking site we like (shh on S-2 check out between mile marker 37 and 38) we'd see if we could stay here. Little Blair Valley has a lot of dust in the air and isn't that great since we don't have four wheel drive.

Sadly the day we thought we'd stay here it had just rained and we couldn't find a patch of area that we thought we wouldn't get stuck in. The area is beautiful and we hope to come back at a drier time. If you have the right equipment it would be a great place to stay.

Let me start by saying my days of remote camping are mostly behind me. In my youth the thought of staying at a KOA was something old people did, well guess what, I'm that old person now. I admit it, I like my creature comforts even when camping. This park really is a resort. It is conveniently located almost at the entrance of Mesa Verde National Park (about a mile away). It is the only campground I have ever had a person show me the way to my campsite at. The bathrooms are spotless and everyone respects the cleanliness and cleans up after themselves. There is a laundry room with a sink for washing dishes. There is a jacuzzi and an area with gas grills and a firepit - no wood burning allowed (we like that). There is a small pond on the grounds and once you're in the campground there isn't anything close by to walk to but after all you are camping and probably did a lot of walking at Mesa Verde. Staff is great and nice gift shop and camp supplies if you forgot anything. Even a free little library if you want something to read.

Don't even know where to begin. I booked the site well in advance and when we arrived there was a camper in the spot I booked. There was still someone in the office who said it was the computer's fault that the spot I picked was for a monthly rental. We took the spot next to it and as other reviewers stated had to wait for a park ranger to bring us a bathroom key. If you arrive after 4 you probably can't get one. There was so much wrong with this park, I could go on forever. Didn't like the smell even with rules the monthly users did allow raw sewerage to drain from their rigs, the feral dogs made the rattlesnake and centipede we encountered seem like nothing. My husband had to shovel the dog crap away from our rig so we wouldn't step in it. I think you get my point. Yes, if you can handle the altitude the hiking would be incredible but it was a little to high for us to do the nearby hikes.
