Worth it for the sunset alone
We wanted private, remote, and open and we truly got it! The site feels like you are very far away from anyone. There were multiple places one can stand and do a 360 view and not see another structure, so we really felt like we were primitive camping, which is what we were looking for.
This site is worth the view of the sunset all by itself. One can sit on the dirt path and look directly west and catch a totally unobstructed view of the sun going down over the mountains. The site is great with the largest oak tree around, and so plenty of shade. Even at 90 degrees in the heat of the day, it wasn't too bad in the shade just hanging out. The picnic table is an awesome bonus.
Lots of areas to walk around and plenty to see with the natural vegetation.
Only concern for us with dogs were the fire ants; you can avoid the ant piles, but there are still a few on the dirt road, so be cautious when walking around. The bites are more than painful and itchy, they can be very serious if your dog has an allergic reaction, so I would suggest packing Benadryl and bug spray for sure.
Caterra was a great host, quick and responsive and helpful, and guided us right in, as the directions are a little tricky, but not with her helping us get right to the sight.
