Giving it a "4" because it is so close to Los Algodones border crossing (dental work) and because the host Rebecca was so nice and helpful, and did me a HUGE favor. I was surprised more people in reviews said they weren't bothered by the trains, but it must depend which way the wind blows. 1st two days there were a LOT of trains, and loud. Doesn't seem as bad 3rd day either in number or volume. Not somewhere I would stay if not for the dental work, but it is nice walking x-country around Pilot Knob and felt very safe inside the LTVA, and didn't worry about my stuff while I was gone across the border. BLM could do a little work to make it possible for bigger rigs to get to the southern-most section of the LTVA, ie plow some roads across the little gullies, so people could spread out a little more, but also wasn't super-crowded either. I would stay here again when getting more dental work.
