This is a desert, so stock up on extra water and sunscreen, it gets super hot (up to 120˚, with 108˚ as the average in July!)

Loud noise and music are prohibited, so if you’re looking for a party, maybe this isn’t the park for you.

Taylor Lake Campground is totally hidden gem in the park, check it out (site #4 especially).

In the Main Campground, sites above 40 are much more spread out on the southern portion of the campground. There is a nice ridge that divides 45 & 47 from 41-43, 53 backs up to an old cemetery (ohh, spooky!) and the area between 46 & 53 is open and flat, and so is the loop 2-12.

Due to many of the backwater lakes, mosquitoes can be found in abundance--bring repellant!

Check weather reports before going out, as flash floods can sometimes make the road in impassable.

We recommend sites 37 & 41, although many of the sites are super cool.

One of the best ways to explore the area is along many of the dirt roads. We highly recommend travelling in a 4WD as it makes it easier for everyone and your car.

Keep your gas tank full and carry a spare tire, you never know what’ll happen!
