Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews

November 20 Our Favorite place to go for vacation by Campers in June From Nevada

We love Black Sandy. Yes it get crowded but that is mostly the weekend crowd we go and we stay for two weeks at a time and the spot we go to is kinda up and out of the way so dont really bother anyone but we wouldnt go anywhere else Black Sandy is the best No complaints been there three times in a row hope to see you in June

June 12 Never again

Need more fire pits, we were suposed to share with the lot next to us.Every lot should have own pit. Too many FWP people picking at you the whole time.We thought we were very careful about liscences and permits and rules and they still found something to ticket us. Somebody came at night and stole gas cans.

June 17 A Little Crowded by Drive By Tourists

This is an old facility that is a favorite of the locals, especially the boat ramp. Side by side camping, overnight boat docking for campers. Has a 7 day limit! White Sandy very close by and probably not as crowded but it is very new.
