Peace and Quiet. For being close to town we could not hear anything. Very well maintained property. While we didn't use the fire pit it was nice. We enjoyed beautiful nights under the stars and unwinding.

This spot is a gem! We have stayed here 3 times now, and it’s always so wonderful. It is pretty off-grid camping, aside from the fact that some water and a trash receptacle is provided. SO many stars at night, and the most gorgeous sunsets. The desert winds can pick up without any notice, so learn from our mistakes and tie down your awnings/tents/etc immediately 😂 Hope to come back soon!

Our family of 3 + 2 dogs loved the quiet mountain views. Be careful pulling in, the driveway comes up fast and is easy to miss. I would definitely recommend 4 wheel drive. Otherwise, instructions were clear and it’s a nice simple site.

The Lower Ambassador site exceeded our expectations! The location was perfect — close enough to town and the park for easy access, yet secluded enough to enjoy the wildlife and the peaceful silence of the trees and stars at night. The views of the skyline and surrounding landscape were incredible, allowing us to take in both sunrise and sunset in total tranquility. It truly elevated our experience. If we’re ever in the area again, we will absolutely come back!

Desert Dreamland was amazing! Directions to the property were exact. Marlon communication was prompt with very detailed description of the check in process along with photos. The area was super quiet and the view was just as good as in the photos. Would definitely visit there again.

This was our second trip back. We're grateful for this site because it feels very private, and is great for stargazing (we went with hopes of catching a few shooting stars during the Perseid Meteor Shower, and we weren't disappointed). There are plenty of onsite trails and boulders to climb. We explored the area below the vista point and saw a neat change in the rock formation and microhabit affected by more moisture. We went during mid-August and were surprised by how chilly it was our first night (in the summer), but appreciated a nice breeze the next day. Erecting a shade structure was still essential. Potable water offered onsite was helpful. Marlon is good to communicate with if needed.

This campground has so much to offer. There is a lake for swimming and fishing with a floating mat and trampoline. They have a pickle ball court right next to the water and it was such a beautiful place to gather. They have a basketball hoop on the pickle ball court as well. There's a pool table as well. What impressed me the most was the super friendly, happy staff. They were so helpful to me when I struggled to get my trailer parked. We plan on returning for another family trip.

The owner's instructions were essential! We arrived late evening (not recommended) but were able to still find the gate to the campsite. The pinpoint map link provided helped to show that the small path to turn into the campsite is before the listed address (same side of the road). The "make your own hike" was such a luxury! Plenty of space to explore, large rocks to boulder, and on-site trails provide options for difficulty depending on preference. Private and calm, perfect for our cattle breed dog to roam off leash during our hikes. Amazing view of the vista on one side, the valley/canyon to the other. So beautiful especially at dusk! The desert heat/dryness is no exaggeration-even at just 90 degrees! As forewarned by Marlon, shade structure and plenty of liquids were essential. We experienced some winds during the day, but they flowed in a stable direction. Fortunately, our shade structure held up, staking our poles down and using the stable picnic table bench for added bracing were critical. Fortunate too with the weather during the last weekend of May, as we experienced a refreshing 10-degeee drop in temp on our second day. Thank you Marlon for offering this opportunity for our family to have a memorable experience in the desert!

I absolutely loved staying here. We rented a pull in site with full hookups and it was nestled right next to another site, between two cabins, with an awesome view of the lake just a few feet in front of us.
The place was recently renovated with a ton of things to do like paddle boats, paddle boards, water inflatables, fishing, a short hike around the property, and numerous communal firepits/BBQs.
The place seemed well kept and maintained, we saw several attentive staff roaming around in golf carts through out the day.
If you’re looking to camp in an area where there facilities and don’t mind running into people throughout the stay, this is the place for you.

My husband and I, along with our three dogs, had a fantastic stay at this campsite. This is actually our second time staying here and we are already talking about when our next trip will be. We love the location, the view, and the quiet. The site is large and it’s easy to find a pretty level spot. We were able to do a few hikes directly from the campsite which is a really nice bonus. This is probably our favorite Hipcamp site so far!

Had such a peaceful weekend with my dogs here. Camped, hiked, explored—can’t recommend enough for a quick weekend getaway.
I did have some issues with the gate and Marlon was so helpful in resolving the issues immediately. I felt very safe & secure alone on the property.

Highly recommend. Feels super secluded and far away from everything. Great views. The rock formations are beautiful and fun to explore around. The dirt road is slightly steep and bumpy in some parts (to be expected), but is well maintained with packed dirt and was easily drivable in our 2wd car.

We had such a wonderful time here. Private with an incredible view, this has become one of our favorite finds on Hipcamp. The driving path to the spot is a little precarious (especially if arriving at night), so if you are bringing a trailer (like we were), be sure your vehicle has some power behind it. Even so, this was wonderful. Brought our dog with us and we'll certainly be back.
