Dan and his team could not have been more accommodating at a time we needed power and a safe refuge in ABQ. We typically boondock, but the solar was malfunctioning and we needed to plug in on a chilly November night. They got us the proper electrical cords, made sure we were sufficiently set up, late on a Sunday. Grateful!!

Perfect for as night’s pullover along 191, and a leisurely day’s drive from Goblin Valley. Nice stone fire pit at the spot we chose - a flat wide spot at the second left drive. It’s a little over 8,000 ft, so the late September night was frosty, but sun hit the camper by 8am. Super quiet!

The northern tip of the Great Basin - interesting to learn how the dunes formed in this unlikely place. The S.P. touts dark skies and quiet camping, but one requires a vivid imagination to block out the glow of Boise city lights and the fighter jets from the nearby base passing overhead every 90 seconds until nearly midnight. Sites are very clean, as was bathroom. Park was not full, thankfully, because spots are fairly tight. Not sure we’d rent the sand sleds again - even with waxing, they didn’t exactly fly. Staff at the info center was lackluster. Probably won’t come again

Couldn’t ask for more when you just need easy. Level, graveled spot just off the highway and hidden in the tall grasses. I find the sounds of trains pleasant, especially when mixed with a chorus of frogs. We’ll remember for the next time we are crossing this long beautiful state.

Sounds like the road crew has taken over since we were there on May 11, 2022. It was a tricky maneuver to get through the construction at the Lambertiana Road crossing on Hwy 97. But we arrived late and left early and it was perfect for a good night's rest. Quiet (we were the only campers midweek) and easy access. Here's hoping it will be a good stopover again once the construction is done.

A perfect first landing after crossing south into Baja, or to position yourself for an early crossing north. The winter sunsets and crashing waves provided the perfect backdrop for watching the surfers below and a good night’s sleep. Safe, friendly, clean. A leaping dolphin bade us farewell our last night 🐬

We had medical appointments that spanned 2 days and needed easy access with electrical and wifi. This met that bar. Lots of long-timers, but park was quiet, bathrooms were heated and clean, park attendant very pleasant. We took the good advice to be toward the back and away from busy Government Way. Our heater fan also worked to dull any outside noise. Not our typical choice when camping, but grateful they were operating in March and had space. Always better than a hotel!

Unless desperate for a clean shower, wi-fi and laundry facilities, and don’t mind your RV filling with the idling fumes from long term “campers” at 6:30 loading up for jobs, don’t bother. Yes, owners are sweet and place is clean. The smaller Beachfront RV, which is across the road and ON the beach, is the vibe for those of us who are self-contained and prefer green grass to asphalt and the ocean in view. Also cheaper! Sorry we missed it - it wasn’t on Campendium!

Lucky to get the last spot late in the day. Dry camping only. After a few nights of dusty dispersed camping, the level paved spot, readily available water, and flush toilets in the ponderosa forest was worth $10. Host Sandy runs a tight ship - keeps the place clean. A few big RVs had their generators going, but stopped them at night so we could all enjoy the quiet. Sketchy 1 bar ATT LTE, so don’t count on connectivity.

We needed electrical when our solar was acting up after a long day of driving and nighttime temps in the 20s. Tammy and Richard (and their neighbor Fred) are the best. Right on the highway. Clean, warm bathrooms with showers. Couldn’t ask for more.
