We advise you to arrive early since all site selection is first come first serve. The best option is to book the group site to assure you will all be in a site together.
-
A single family with more than 4 children is not required to book an additional site.
-
One RV per site, or 2 small tents. You may set up a small tent next to a single RV, but not a full-sized family tent.
-
You may have up to a maximum 2 vehicles: truck, van or car as long as they fit in the parking area (not driving over plant life, please help us protect our plants) of the site you choose.
We do have overflow parking if needed.
-
You will need to email us so we hold your site. There are absolutely no check-ins after 8pm. You must note that you are responsible for knowing the rules before you arrive. No check ins after 8pm so no one is driving around or setting up after quiet hours. Violating rules such as speed limit, quiet time, and pet leash rules could result in immediate eviction with no refund. Absolutely NO UPGRADES to sites after hours. (ie. If you didn’t pay for a tipi or GROUP SITE DO NOT set up in these sites! Regular sites have a post with a number) We do not open the store for late arrivals so shower tokens, fuel, ice, firewood etc. are not available after 6pm when the store closes. Keep this in mind before leaving town to drive all the way out here.
-
No, we do not lock or even close the gate during our open seasons. We just require guests to check in absolutely no
later than 8pm in respect for us and consideration of other campers on the property. -
Send an email in reply to your reservation confirmation stating your request. (The date you send the email is what we use to check your eligibility not the date of our response) Understand that changes to reservations will incur a $10 change fee. Making more than one change in that same email will not exceed the $10 fee.
-
You must speak with the manager on duty at the time of check in. Do not drop an envelope stating your extension without approval. This keeps up from overbooking.
-
You must inform us at the time of check in, we will show you designated areas you are
allowed to fly. -
Neither one works inside the campground. They work inside and around the store only.
There is a cell booster inside the store that picks up AT&T service only. Usually, texts come through and send out without issue, calls are not guaranteed. Wifi is $5 a day or $10 for the entirety of your stay. No streaming or downloading large files. We are off-grid with satellite internet and have this service for a way of contact out here in the middle of nowhere.

Bring your dry food in a tote so you have somewhere to store your food away from critters.
Bring your own potable water since we do not have any here at our campground.
Bring a shade shelter of some kind if you camp with us in the summer.

At this time we do still allow dogs, they must be on leash and controlled at all times no exceptions (not roaming free while dragging the leash around) No dogs inside the store or the bathhouse. They must be picked up after at all times. Please help us remain a dog friendly campground by following these rules.
This is the desert and poop does not disintegrate.
-
No, no music at all since the rocks echo too much. Not everyone likes to hear music when they come out to the middle of nowhere. This a place to escape the noises of the towns and cities. We are happy to provide this peace and quiet for our guests.
