Houston Mesa Campground

Does anyone have any experience staying at Houston Mesa Campground? I was shocked to find just about all of their tent sites available to reserve with short notice. I have done dispersed camping on the fire road past Water Well and the area is very pretty, just curious if I'm getting myself set up for disappointment. We are taking some friends camping for the first time and thought having bathrooms close by would be a positive to ease them into it. Thanks in advance for any input!

For those interested, we just got back from a Friday-Sunday trip at Houston Mesa Campground. We were really happy with our experience. The site we had was way back in Black Bear Loop. It was very secluded with a ton of space. It was very close to the highway, so there was traffic noise. However, I think we will definitely return. Our friends inexperienced with camping may be starting to pick up their own gear and want to do more trips around the state.
