Primitive camping area. The campsites were in some pinyon pine and juniper trees and close to the Lower Bowns Reservoir. Vault toilets were clean. No running water, so we had to bring large water containers and fill them up every day about a mile away. We had to pack out our trash.
Location can accommodate 50 people and 10 vehicles.
