Ratings Summary
Reviews
We camped here in a 25 ft trailer. The sites are not all big enough for our trailer. We had reserved 13, but camp host said no...and graciously moved us to a better site. Site had picnic table and fire ring and was reasonably level, We were there the Tuesday after Memorial Day and very few other campers. That was good, since we wanted to socially distance. Campground is close to a dusty gravel road, and it would be quite dirty when ATV traffic picks up on weekend. Good shade and delightful mountain weather. We took drives to Gentry Lookout and Black Canyon Lake that we’re interesting. Cell service was spotty...worked better at sometimes of the day, but we were able to do email and web.
