Ok the riding condictions are whoops and sand,the camp is a decent size grass feild and usslay theres alot of people there but you do not have to reserve a camp spot,theres a big metal bucket type thing at every camp you can have fires so yes you can have open fires,pm eric he'll give you all the info you need,he's there every weekend!

The Last time I was there the rangers were giving everyone a hard time for riding through camp to get water, or even going the long way around to your campsite.The camp host is pretty cool about it, just don't let the law enforcement rangers catch you.

When you get out of camp, just ride as far as you can and get as far from camp as possible before expending your energy on the whoops. Once you get 3-5 miles away from camp, the whoops are much less and the trails are much better.

my suggestion,,,park about 5 miles away from camp at least to get to decent trails.
