The campground here is huge. Google Maps shows it is bell shaped.
The clapper is the dump. The two rows closest to it are for tent camping and have tent pads.
The next two rows are for small RVs that have no generator. The rest of the campground is for whoever wants it up to 40′ motorhomes.
We parked in the first of the generator rows so as to be as near as possible to the amphitheater. That’s the line on the map leading off to the left toward a green belt. Unfortunately, we never went to a program because Dave didn’t think I should try to negotiate that path in the dark on my Segway. Also, it got really cold as soon as the sun set and there would be no warming campfire at the ranger program.
Here’s the view of the campground’s cactus forest from our windows.
The RV sites have concrete parking pads. In the handicapped sites, the concrete pads extend under the picnic table and grill. Both are metal. Ground fires are not allowed. Generator hours are 8-10 a.m. and 4-6 p.m. Water spigots are placed throughout the campground but there are no hookups per se. Our Internet reception was the best we’ve had in a long time and our cell reception was good enough that I was able to talk to our daughter until we lost the signal because the train she was riding went into a tunnel.
More later about the cactus themselves since I’m not sure how long it will take to upload this.
