Summary
Reservations are required through Recreation.gov, with a modest nightly fee. Amenities include pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and limited RV access (no hookups or water available—bring your own). The campground is popular for mountain biking, especially the nearby Gooseberry Mesa Trail. Expect sweeping red rock views and juniper-pinyon landscapes. The vibe is quiet and remote, perfect for stargazing and solitude. Best visited in spring or fall for mild weather. No dispersed camping is permitted within the administrative site.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
