Beautiful views! Stayed in our 42’ 5th wheel. At the time, there weren’t many open places for a big rig but were were able to find a fairly level spot. Look at google maps before entering. It will tell you to go in the second entrance...don’t! Take the first entrance, it’s wider and easier to navigate. Plenty of room for kids to run and ride bikes. Had service with Verizon and Sprint. Careful for rattlesnakes, we did see one.
Banana man is honestly one of the best. 10/10 he made this campground from the ground up. As for the views it definitely has some, get here before sunset it's an absolute must! Bring some sort of defense against mosquitos tho if it's not going to be windy enough. Again banana man is the MVP will camp here again.
Great place to boondock and lots of places to park a vehicle or any size RV. The views are amazing and the hikes are endless! Quiet and peaceful, we will be back!
This was an awesome spot to camp. We turned left off the main road at the little silver sign that said "Bureau of Land Management," [before you hit the cattle guard on the road leading up to the Oliver Lee Memorial state park] and proceeded down the gravel path past a number of possible campsites, but we set up shop just past the two old fenceposts with rusty wire wrapped back around the posts.
Wifi: spotty but available (I have suddenlink)
Bathrooms: None, but we brought a bucket toilet with a privacy tent, and it worked great.
Showers: none, BUT you can simply roll up the hill to the state park, pay for a $5 day pass (for EACH day you stay - they will check) and use their bathhouse and dumpster. There was plenty of hot water, but the shower pressure in the handicapped shower was infinitely better, fyi.
There's a lot of wind, so make sure and bring plenty of cord to tie down the tent. I was worried about there being enough space in this dispersed area during busier times (we came during spring break, and Oliver Lee was completely booked out) but I shouldn't have been concerned. There was SO much space. I will definitely camp here again 🧡✨️
