Clean and well kept campground, but very not very conducive to peace and quiet or dogs. I have heard the trails are nice but we never checked them out as we decided to leave early after we one night bathed in light pollution. We had to remove cholla from our dogs paws several times despite being very careful...the stuff is everywhere and the few trails we went on in the campground area are so narrow it is almost impossible to avoid cholla. The next morning was spent listening to non stop gunfire from the nearby range. Yuck. McDowell Mountain park is more spread out with easily accessible trails that we can go on with our bikes and our dogs. You actually feel like you are out in the middle of nowhere...not so with Usery Mountain. I would not recommend it for camping...maybe day hiking without dogs. The parks department should really disclose the fact that one will have to put up with the noise from the nearby gun range if they stay at the campground.
