We recently stayed at this campground for one night in our 25’ travel trailer as we headed home to SoCal. The gravel road is rough, washboard, but no potholes. The site was level and had a grill, but no fires are allowed at this time. Some spots have cabanas that would come in handy in hot weather. There is a dump station, but we did not use it. There are also vault toilets that we didn’t use.
