Great view, but could improve
I love this site, but I have some suggestions to make it more worthwhile:
1. There are no directions to tell you how to get there. The reservation info said to contact the owner for directions, but she did not respond to me. I happen to be very familiar with the area so I was able to figure it out, but I would have been very disappointed if I booked it and had no way to find it.
2. The trail is really rough getting in there. The app said it required 4x4, but if there has been any rain at all you should take a second vehicle as well. Narrow passages that may scrape your paint. Just maybe post some pics of the road to show potential users. Or do a little clearing of the trail to make it better.
3. There was no signs posted anywhere on the trail, so there is nothing stopping a group of randoms from just pulling up to your camp site with you. The camp site you paid for. I went on a Sunday night so it didn't happen to me, but I'm pretty sure this site gets plenty of use on the weekends. If I'm not paying for it then I have nothing to complain about. But if I pay $40 for the camp site and then have people show up to share it with me, that isn't cool. Maybe just put up a few signs that say private property and "reservation required" or something.
Other than that, it is a great view and a great place to camp. If you like rappelling and climbing, it is even better.

Absolutely beautiful views!
Make sure you have a good 4x4 and either skills or bravery for the trail in because it is worth it. Absolutely beautiful views of the valley below. You could hear cows, donkeys, and a lot of dogs barking at times but we enjoyed everything about the experience. We will definitely visit again.

This is a beautiful bluff. Getting there was a problem but if you have a good 4-wheel drive or park closer to road, you can hike in. Not for car camping. Host is very helpful.

We could not find the location whatsoever.
No response from the host. We wasted 50 bucks and 2 and a half hour drive both ways.
