This is you typical campsite with pads, picnic tables, fire pits, vault toilets, & some BBQ’s. There are water spigots with potable water dispersed around the campground. Groceries and other facilities are close by and there is even Lake Elsinore about 10 miles away. Sites are close together with no privacy.
Nearly empty during the week & probably busy on the weekend. Like most places.
Biggest issues is that this place is right next to a busy highway and you can’t escape the road noise.
I would use this, as I did, for a last choice pit stops in the way someplace else.
Although, while staying here I found out that Blue Jay Campground is a mere 4 miles away. It’s much, much nicer and spread out (privacy).

I enjoyed staying here. It’s a small, 24 site campground that is close to the road, but if you get a site on the back side, it’s further away and not too much of an issue. The sites are well spaced apart from one another, the bathrooms are exactly as you expected, minus a flush toilet and a hand sink and hot water. Overall, a nice cam... more

Overall, a nice campground, quiet in itself but road could be an issue, but clean and well organized.

Campground has at least 2 water taps and very clean bathrooms. There are over 20 spots, designed for tents but we fit in our pop up camper. Anything longer will be hard to get in.

Campground has at least 2 water taps and very clean bathrooms. There are over 20 spots, designed for tents but we fit in our pop up camper. Anything longer will be hard to get in. The parking spaces have posts around them so you cannot park on the dirt etc. There is no overflow parking.. so all has to fit in a 20-30 ft paved slab. There is another part of this campground across the street with more spots.
You can hear traffic from the road, but not bad.
Verizon signal is about 60mb/s.
Plenty of clean space! We would come back!
