Quiet and Secluded

Drove in for a one night stay. Last 0.4 miles were rough. Road did not appear to have been maintained since the last rain which was last year.

There were a series of small campsites along the road starting where Google Maps said we had arrived. We went another .2 miles further and found a larger spot with an awesomely large fire pit.

There is a lot of traffic on the Sunday we we re there. Don't know if they are looking for a camp site or day hikers.

Overall this is better than most desert camping options if your vehicle can make it up bad roads.

Siteabout .2 miles from the first camp site.

Not sure if permit needed

Came in late last night and I think I saw a sign for a permit. The coordinates drop you off at a trailhead?? Went up another .5 miles and found a spot to pull over. Might be more up the way.. it’s beautiful, but I’m leaving bc not sure if allowed and don’t want to be disrespectful
