I stopped by with a friend and spent the night on our way to the Geode Beds in June of 2025. The campground is quite nice and the upgrades the Forest Service has done are very welcome! The campsites are nicely leveled and have a gravel base laid down. The cement tables are also very nice. If you want a really remote desert experience, this is a good place for it.

If you want a really remote desert experience, this is a good place for it. The silence at night is almost eerie. It doesn't take much to imagine what it was like in 1860 being a young rider traversing this landscape on horseback.

This is a great little camping area. Our only problem is that we reserved and paid for a spot online, but when we arrived someone had taken it and told us it was first come first served. There's no one there to enforce anything so we paid for a reservation just to have someone take it.

A beautiful spot that will take you back in history. Look around at the hills, the sky, the dirt, the trees. Listen to the birds, the wind, the vast openness. Your experience will be equally the same as a young courageous rider passing through here in 1861.

The views this place offers are worth a 5 star rating alone. We got to see quite a lightning storm in the distance! Toilets were clean, and the water worked fine.

Toilets were clean, and the water worked fine. We were there in September, and only two other campsites were taken, so it doesn’t appear to be too busy; must be why they closed off the southern portion of the campground. The space for the tent had some pretty hard gravel, so best to bring sturdy stakes and a hammer if you’re tent camping. Don’t forget to drive around the area to see the wild horses and check out the green volcanic tuff just down the hill from the campground.

This was a great campground. It's way out in the middle of no where on a very long dirt road. It's so peaceful and clean. My kids found tons of little geode pieces in our campsite. The bathrooms were very clean and fully stocked and they had water you can get from spickets. There are wild horses all around and we even heard a mountain lion. I would definitely camp here again.
