So if you are into rocks this really is a great place to check out. Be prepared as the drive in is difficult and long. Larger RVs are not recommended as the road has many steep washouts and ruts. The main dirt road leading into the area has bad washboard bumps. There is also an active cattle ranch in the area so be careful with any pets. You’ll find a logbook on the way in. Once there you’ll find plenty of places to park but don’t count on it being level. There are also lots of sharp rocks so watch your tires. There are no facilities here. The views are amazing especially at night. The wind never did stop. You got to really like rocks!

Difficult to access but great rocks!

This area is wide open with tons of locations for camping. Fire agates are everywhere, right in your camp site. We drove all the way back and camped just before the wash crossing near the end of the BLM area. No shade and windy. The road is wash boards. We just drove slowly and enjoyed the views. There were a couple of fifth wheels out there. We were in a tent.
