There are residents of all persuasions along this road. The long term folks are mostly concentrated below the powerline road. Transient visitors are best suited to sites higher up the road.  I was surprised at how many people were up here during my visit, and began to get a bit discouraged about finding a good camp site until I lucked upon a really terrific site that I had missed at first glance. It was a very pleasant night after visiting a relative in Pahrump.
