About Observatory Campground
Hot water from the sink, no toilet paper when we went July 2025 (better bring your own to be safe! The toilet was very dim at night). Showers take quarters and were pretty clean from the look of it. The only flushing toilets were near camp site 30 walkable but during the night we drove from the other end to get washed up. Most water faucets were without drain and the ones with were draining very slow, please bring environment friendly dish soap. Late July temperatures were pretty comfortable and a little chill at night. The little creek was all dried so we didn't have much mosquito issues, but did layer bug spray and used mosquito coils to be safe. Went on a new moon night and the sky was stunning even just looking up from the campground! (Photo taken with phone)
