Latest Check-Ins

There is nothing to add to other check-ins except to say the new fee schedule went into effect on April 1, 2023, and the water levels change because it's an agricultural reservoir. The water levels will fluctuate as the local farmers draw down their water allocation.
Our cell speeds varied for AT&T and Verizon.
AT&T: PING 74, DOWN 87.4, UP 8.60
VERIZON: PING 76, DOWN 7.37, UP 5.08
Even with a WeBoost cell booster, Verizon was good for surfing, but glitchy for video. AT&T was great for video.

I have always liked this no frills campground. In it hay day when the reservoir was full, you could not get in here. Way too crowded. The last few years to water has really dried up. Never more than 5 campers here. Perfect. The sites are large enough for any rig.
There is a notice up at the board about raising prices up to $20. Kind of crazy. There is basically some out houses and a
trash can. That’s it. Still, I love this place.

The reservoir is totally dry. No water on it. No camp host. And no camping slips to complete and pay. It says $8 otherwise. The water spigot is turned off. Pit toilet is clean but nearly out of toilet paper. It looks like the place is abandoned for now… no shade. Pl but of spaces.

Large BLM campground with pit toilets. Large pull through sites can accommodate large rigs. No shade. Reservoir was nearly dry, but a nice quiet spot right off the highway. Only 2 other rigs here when we visited.

Great overnight spot to stop. Gorgeous sunset. Large spaces and lots of them but there was no one here so we just parked in the paved parking lot. Far enough away from the highway there is no noise. $8.

Forgot to add photos. Also the reservoir was mostly dried up, but great place to drop in and right off the highway, but enough the road noise was very quiet.

Very, very quiet. Just the birds and the breeze. It’s a pretty good sized campground. Room for any big rig. Great place. And we can fill our water tank. A bonus.
