John S ★ 5 · Oct 2024
The campground was very clean (albeit some trash, can't find it all, all the time). The restrooms were kept very clean for our 10 day stay. The person maintaining the campground and toilets was very friendly and we very much appreciated their brief but positive interaction with our grandkids. We have been staying in the Muleshoe area for many years during deer hunting season but never at this campground. Price was fair for the location and facilities.
