Does not exist

Hey yall! Wanted to download the app just to leave the review for other weary travelers. This site doesn't exist anymore! It's now private property and there's a large gate blocking. There are some other pull off areas nearby on the road unmarked that you'll just spot and see. All dirtbaggers be careful

Free, Beautiful and Secluded

my friends and I stayed here for two nights while exploring the area with our pop up camper! it’s completely free but you need 4wd to get through the bumpy and sand when pulling something! it is an area for dirtbiking and more so you will have people throughout the day and sometimes night riding nearby but they never messed with us and there is plenty of room and trails to find somewhere secluded for yourself! has no water or bathrooms though so be prepared to bring a shovel and your own survival supplies. about thirty minutes to the nearest town but the stars are amazing at nighttime! and it wasn’t too cold at night the time of year we went.

Research before going

Not sure if we stayed at the right place or what all of the rules were since we arrived at night, would be beneficial to look up a little more info before camping as it is an OHV area. Found the sign and parking lot no problem and to my knowledge we were the only ones there on a Saturday night. People with ATVs and dirt bikes showed up at the crack of dawn on Sunday morning so we didn't stay too long. Warmer than up on the mountains.

Great for off road vehicles

We usually take a camper out there. It's great for off road vehicles and it's pretty open. No shade and can get pretty miserable if it's windy.
