Campers consistently express a deep appreciation for the tranquil and vast setting offered at this site. With the freedom to choose a campsite, many find their own slice of peace, whether it's for stargazing or simply unwinding away from city life. The host, Gary, is frequently praised for his responsiveness and helpfulness, enhancing the experience with clear directions and a welcoming attitude. While the area is generally quiet with natural sounds accompanying the stay, a few reviews mention the potential for some rough terrain and the presence of cattle, which adds a rustic charm to the setting.
