Absolutely incredible! Campsites are spaced out so you feel like you have the whole desert to yourself. I didn’t see anywhere that allows for dumping water/trash, though.

This was a perfect group site for adult,kids, and dogs! The views were amazing you were in biking distance to trails and town was super close. We will be back.

Have always loved Camping at sand flats but this group site was not my favorite
It’s a very small site for 16 people
The road goes around the campsite, so there was not a lot of options on where to place tents. It’s also very close to the bathrooms. So you can smell them when the wind blows just right.
It did have nice sunshade and two picnic tables
We ended up grabbing two additional sites that were close to the group site to make it an enjoyable stay

Showed up and a large party was in our site. Camp host station was closed. Had to find different site at 8pm. When we spoke to camp host next day they gave away our site without verification. All very disappointing since we booked 6 months in advance and drove 7 hours. I could not get a refund at the campground and am now dealing with Recreation.gov to get refunded.

Great group spot, plenty of shade for doggos. Toilet nearby but not too close. Room to park 3 cars/trucks (4 small cars/trucks).
