Do you know which area we will be in?

Number of People Encountered: 0-10 ppl
Recommend to a Friend: Highly
Report: This is a great campground for families with children. Also a good overniter for couples and hikers. Not too far from civilization, but yet very quiet and serene. Has beautiful scenery with plenty sun and shade. Hiking trailheads are just a short distance from the sites with an equestrian area. The campsites are roomy and flexible for any sized tent, and are clean and well tended to. The campground it divided into two areas- upper and lower. This makes for various types of terrain at each of the different sites--particularly the lower section. You also will enjoy nighttime star gazing on a clear night.
Conditions: Do not be surprised if you encounter wild turkey on the campgrounds, including various species of birds, and other wildlife. Also, you will get an eyeful of mountainous vegetation in and around the campground including wildflowers and cactus. Firewood is plentiful within walking distance. Possibility of rainstorms during the day or night. We were told there were bears in the area, but we never saw any.
Water Availability: Water is available. Do check ahead of time to make sure the water system is up and running. Not adviseable to try to drink any of the creek water. Otherwise, it was clean and plentyful.

Do we need to reserve a campsite? I take it that a campsite is $12/ night, Is this true?

Yes and no yes the sties are 12.00 a night per site but we can put as many tears as we want to on a site so if we have 10 tears 48.00 divided by 10 is 4.80 per night

Stopping by Saturday Afternoon

Postby remarquian » Thu Sep 08, 2005 2:22 pm

Just a note to say I'll be stopping by Saturday Afternoon with the family, to check out the tears. We would camp, but the littlest one is two months old,
and not quite camp worthy yet.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.
