We have tent camped in the San Rafael Swell, specifically Buckhorn Draw dispersed for three weekends in a row now and are planning more. The campsites have had a fire ring and table and were fairly clean although there has been the usual bottles and cans in the fire ring (pack it in, pack it out!). Some of the sites are pretty close to the road so dust could be an issue. We did notice the last two times we were down there that the access road to Site 13 has been washed out. Hole in the ground restrooms are within driving or walking/biking distance depending on which site you chose and were fairly clean but bring your own TP as some of them were out of it every time we visited. Some of the off-shoot trails in the area have also been washed out making access difficult to see the out of the way historical sites even by 4X4 or OHV, they are however still accessible by hiking or mountain biking. Overall, a really great camping, hiking, off-roading experience! I only gave 4 out 5 stars due to the lack of maintenance on the trails, stocking of TP, the main road is very well maintained and should be fine for a camp trailer or motorhome. All sites are FF, single sites are $15 per night while group sites are $50 per night. We have not had an issue getting a site even on Labor Day weekend. There is also Swinging Bridge campground just after you come out of Buckhorn Draw on the east end of none of the dispersed sites are available.

We stayed at The Views RV Park in early May. The experience was fantastic. Very well thought out RV Park with large sites, and a fantastic view from sites 45 and 46. The facilities were very clean as was the rest of the park. Level sites, well kept grounds. There is a hiking trail through the undeveloped section of the property that made for a great evening walk. Matt and Wendy are doing a spectacular job with this park and I will be recommending it to all my RV friends! We will definitely be staying there again.

We stayed here two nights on our way home from Glacier National Park. I’ve driven by here many times on our way to Yellowstone and have always thought I’d like to try this one out. I highly recommend staying here, the views are beautiful and the campground is very well taken care of. It was to windy to take advantage of any on lake activities but there is plenty to do and see within driving distance plus there are a few nice trails right in the park. We will definitely be back in the future!

We stayed in site #10, pull through, for three nights in early May. Site was paved and fairly level, long enough for my 31' fifth wheel and truck with some extra room. Campground was quiet and clean. Great experience! We will definitely stay there again.

This is a first come first serve BLM campground that is located on the north shore of MacKay Reservoir. We arrived at around 7 pm on Friday, August 27, 2021 and found a few sites still available. We chose site C18, pull through, partial hook ups. The site was clean, paved/gravel with a firepit, table, shade and medium size trees. The view of the mountains was great! The site was very off level but with some blocks we were able to level easily enough. The dump station is between the two campgrounds and has potable water if you need it. It is, however, a little tight for larger rigs but doable if it's not too busy. Our truck and 31' 5th wheel fit fine. Dump fee w/campsite $5, w/o $10. Some highway noise but otherwise very pleasant.
