A Perfectly Quiet & Clean Desert Escape!

We stayed at Crozier Ranch on two different nights throughout the week and were thoroughly impressed. The first time, we camped on the south side of the road, and the second time, we were on the north side. On both occasions, we appeared to be the only people for miles. The solitude was incredible. If you're looking for a peaceful and quiet escape, this is it. The grounds were also remarkably clean. We can't say enough good things about this spot. It was quiet, clean, and felt like our own private slice of the desert. We would definitely recommend it and will certainly be staying here again!

Quiet Location.

This dispersed camping is a bit out of the way off of 40.  Super quiet, one other camper there in a tent.  Go through the gate, be sure to leave it closed.  We found a great spot at 65'.
