I haven't stayed here yet, but I drove out to investigate it a bit to check out the conditions. I agree with other folks, this place is not easy to get to if you don't have a vehicle with some clearance. Cars are definitely a no-go.
There's nearly 90% shade in the camp which is super nice. The views from the area are pretty nice too. I noticed that most fire-pits were sort of full with ash so do bring a small shovel to clear yours out before using it. A rake would also be helpful to clear a patch for your tent. Also, there were a few flies / gnats but I think if you set up a bug zapper or fly catcher your area would be just fine. I didn't find myself annoyed at all, but there were a few. There's plenty of trees to hang a hammock as well.
Quiet place. We had nice neighbors who were hunting so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. The bathroom was bad but it’s to be expected at campgrounds. Totally would camp there again
This is a very nice Campground on the way up to high mountain View. It's free and there's about 10 pretty nice Campground spots. It's primitive in the sense that there's no water or bathrooms but it's very nice and if you've got four-wheel drive to get up here it would be a great place to camp. We stopped by and had a lovely picnic lunch here.
Simple campground with decent sized campsites, fire rings with bbq grates and tables. Campground has one enclosed bathroom. Road to get here is dirt (partially maintained) and bumpy but most of the time accessible by most vehicles with clearance. Two ways to get here, one is from lake lopez area and the other is Hwy 58.
