There is barely any cell service on Verizon and AT&T. We weren’t able to work and had to leave right away. Which is disappointing given how long it takes to get into the state park. I will say our drive in had a beautiful sunset. So this would probably be great for someone who isn’t dependent upon reliable internet.

Some nice off road trails around but limited in where you can go without doing lots of paved road. Cell coverage was great. Many chirping birds and burrows around. Nice to have access to the lake to have the dog swim in.

I spent two nights 2/18 - 2/20 and it was crowded and noisy. Prefer a boondock site in the desert.

Even though it is a remote location it is a great campground. Roads are asphalt, no issue accessing with your rv. Camping loops are well organized and easy to get in and out. Mostly flat surfaces.

Lake is not too close to campgrounds. Loop A and B is closest but no cell service. Loop C D E has great cell service and lte connection. 10-20 mb download speed. Loop C has water and electric and a Dump station, loop D and E is dry camping. Loop E is also close to the lake. Sites are well separated from each other. It is not very green basically desert. Boating and fishing are main activities. It is not too crowded and peaceful place

Yes clean baths is a priority for us- we have a van camper, without a shower- this campground has the best we have seen. The lake is accessible from each campground and for a dessert area there are many trees, just don’t count on much shade. It is busy as it seems fishing is big here.

After boondocking for several months, I was excited to have full hook-ups and relax for a while. I read that there was limited internet, but even with my WeBoost, this spot had no connectivity most of the time. A few early mornings, I was able to connect. The photo I uploaded was on a trailhead. So funny someone noted the trail leads to internet service!! There is a bench at the top of the hill where you can sit and catch up on emails. Most campers are fishing so they stay busy, but if you are not a fisherman, 8 nights is too long. The burros are a high point for sure. They are all over the camp and the best part is that they made trails all over the park area. I enjoyed many long hikes around the desert just following the burro trails. The showers were clean. Lots of families on the weekends. Site #8 has shade and is below a small limited playground. There was no wind and the RV stayed cooler. Don't forget anything on the long drive up to the park! The office does have a small store with some essentials.

We're in back-in spot B22 with a lovely view of the lake. Site is paved and level. 50 amp service and water hook ups are well positioned. Site has a picnic table and fire pit, well positioned. Lots of room. Parking for toad, just right. Cleanliness and maintenance is outstanding. Way to go campground hosts/staff.
Now for the unexpected news. We have Verizon internet with our hotspot and window antenna. Speed test is variable but plenty good (so far) to send and receive email and load web pages.
30-some mile road in is narrow but surface is fine. Observer the speed limit and you'll be fine.
UPDATE ON VERIZON INTERNET: Our Verizon hotspot has reliable internet until afternoon, when it slows to a crawl (or standstill). So it must be a bandwidth limitation. It starts working again around 9am.

Beautiful area but the sites were a little too close together for me...more like an RV Park than a State Park.
