Kevin was great! He reached out to us immediately after booking to be sure we could access the site and to let us know we could contact him for anything we needed. The site is great for someone passing through or planning to explore the nearby state park. It works well for a tent or camper, and was easy to access with our truck. Our only issue with the site was that there was broken glass around and we had our dogs with us. That said, I might not recommend it to someone with pets. But other than that, there was no trouble!
Easy to find even at night. The drop point was exactly where the lot is. The Hosts lot is fantastic but there were other factors we didn't know about that lead us to leave and not actually stay the night. We came after dark so it's hard to say much about the site itself but there was a nice open spot we pulled our full size truck into with no problems. There was a little camp fire circle that was very cool and convenient to have despite not using it. But what lead us to leave was the immense light pollution. There was a TON of lights around the property. It didn't feel like a camping vibe more…
It was a really nice spot. Not much traffic and nice views of the lake.
Very cute low-key spot. Was a bit hard to get up into the lot with my van because it's sand and you have to go over a little hump, but once I was there I loved it! Just follow the GPS and it brings you to a little lot that sort of blends in with the desert around it. The palm trees were cute and the location was nice and away from commotion
Quiet and tranquil. The sand leading up from the road is very soft. You'll need 4x4 drive to get a vehicle up to it, but otherwise it's a great spot.
