The camp hosts were great. The place was very clean. Would definitely love to go back. Would be nice if there was electricity at the group shelter

Great location. We fit two RV’s and a few tents with plenty of room to spare. We had a great time!

For the first time in 20 some years of renting this area, the camp ground was not ready for paying customers. All 4 bathrooms were filthy, I trash can topped full of trash. With no one showing up to clean on our scheduled day to be there. We dumped the trash that wasn't ours. We swept and cleaned the bathrooms our 1st day there. I called the Quemado office the next morning and was told that it wasn't cleaned the day before because it was his day off... He didn't show up til almost noon to clean. He sprayed the bathrooms down but didn't refill the toiletpaper. We had to supply our own toilet paper. This was a Thursday, the office wasn't closed. I feel that if you are going to advertise and charge for a clean campground then it should be ready when we show up...I feel that we were taken advantage for the first time in many many years of camping in our wilderness...
