Old Airstrip Camping & Staging Area

Beautiful campsite, first camping trip with our new travel trailer and this was great first spot! Dirt road was a little bumpy but actual campsite was easy to get to. Lots of different spots to pull in

The road in is a little rough, but ok. Two week stay limit, but that's pretty standard for BLM properties. There's no facilities so be prepared. Good level land and plenty of room. Wild burros wander through occasionally, and coyotes make their presence known as well. Fantastic views and quiet atmosphere, so far. Been here two nights and plan to stay for at least another week.

Haven't had the chance to camp at the sites in here. Going to start tonight

We pulled in late at about 10pm. Wild burros and coyotes set the soundtrack and the cactus shadows looked against the bright night clouds. Absolutely worth the drive! We car camped and the weather was perfect and we slept great. We will definitely be back soon so we can actually pick a site and enjoy it!

It was a great area to boondock camp, roads are rough but worth the trip. Cellphone service is spotty. Lots of ATV on the weekends. Be prepared to get stuck in the mud if it rains. There's a great lil gem you can hike to called Mudd Spings, it's super small natural spring.

There is plenty or room to park. Get here early as people with truck and side-by-side on trailers show up about 9 am or so. Was very quiet at night. Donkeys and coyotes randomly making their presents known. I would camp here again.

People burn construction lumber in stone fire rings. When it fills with ash, inconsiderate people move the stones and leave the ashes full of nails as land mines for the next guy. Never drive within 20 feet of a fire ring. I missed a Veterans day event sitting at the tire store.

The road in is several miles of dirt washboard. But the views are great once here. Not close enough to lake unless want a mile or so hike. Most roads are little more than clearings of brush motorcycle trails. Lots of OHV in the area, so weekends really noisy. But nice otherwise. Good desert boindocking spot

A little rough getting here on a couple miles of gravel road. Signs say private property en route but there's other campers here. Brought a Thor Vegas class A. Also looks like a popular place to bring 4-wheelers.

Very useful sight and amazing locations. Recommend to anyone

Bit of a drive to get down to but they just redid the roads so roads are nice. Locals with 4 wheelers pretty much dominate the area. But it’s still not to bad a place. Bring in everything you need. All they provide is the space.

This was a great place to camp in April (before it gets too hot). It took about 7 miles of dirt road to get there, but not the worst dirt road we have been on. This is a staging area for off road vehicles, so there are a lot of quads, ATV, and OHV there. But no one seemed to be running around at all hours of the night like at other areas. Other people there were friendly and there is lots of space for large groups or to be away from those groups.

We have a 4WD truck, so we were able to get past most of the RVs and toy haulers, but they all seemed like family friendly people! The burros are no joke! You can hear and see them all around you. We also heard a few coyotes right after dusk which was cool. We had our two dogs with us and just kept them on the leash so we had no negative cactus experiences... Overall, a really cool place to be even if you don’t have an OHV. We got in around 6PM and were able to find a secluded spot with a fire ring already there, no problem.

I don’t have 4x4 so I didn’t go too far into the staging area. Since it was a nice weekend there were a gazillion trucks with their OHVs. I must say I didn’t really mind, plus if you have 4x4 you can access more distant parts of the area for calm and privacy, I’m sure. Views are super gorgeous and stars were insane. I bet during the week it’s very calm and even better. I’ll be back! 3 stars bc of the traffic, dust, and noise.

We arrived late at night to a site full of off roading vehicles and other ATVs. Obviously a meet.

The ground is very compact and straight dirt, multiple rvs had generators running so the night was loud. We ended up leaving.

I'm sure its a sweet spot for off roading and to rv camp but not so much for tents.

First time dispersed camping with our 21’ pull-behind and had a great experience. Gravel road leading to the area is well kept and our truck had no issues getting to the area. Awesome views when we setup camp with plenty of space.

Nice enough place for dispersed camping, but requires a very bumpy drive to get there. Really good cell phone service (Verizon - I got 3-4 bars of 4G, which got me 75+ mb/s download speed)

Bonfires every weekend, swimming, camping, shooting. It’s really a dream here at this spot. So many amazing memories we’ll never forget!

Free. Wide open space, an abandoned air strip. Really cool cactus variations all around, you can hear coyotes. And there are wild burros in the area you can def hear them and during the week it's likely you will see them! It is popular for ATVs and such, so it can get a bit noisy, and it apparently gets pretty packed over the weekend. But empty during the week. About 30 minutes away from town. Though there are a few paid campsites in the area. Not sure what the stay limit is, probably 14 days. All the cacti so close is a bit hazardous for pets and small children, my dog already got spines in her paws.
