Very quiet, very peaceful, and a million dollar view. Following the host's directions brought me right to the site. And strong cell (I have Spectrum) coverage to boot - loved it here.

It just depends on what your needs are. There's are community of people here and it's good for that. We found it far too windy and ended up leaving to head to picture rocks instead.

Nice views and interesting rocks and vegetation on site. We never would have found this if Rockhound park wasn't full, but glad we did. There was a lot of wind so we couldn't fully set up, and had to use the truck as a windbreak. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZEZgHN3EGgjstKdd9

Great spot! Loads of fantastic scenery, beautiful sunrises & sunsets. Lot of history here including the spot where USA was invaded in early 1900’s. Addison is the host and is a fountain of knowledge here. I was greeted on arrival and he filled me in on everything happening far and near. There some nice state parks nearby, Rock City and Poncho Villa’s were two of my favorites. Addison is also a pretty good horticulturist and his property is covered with all kinds of native species which I really enjoyed.
