Hiking, wildlife watching, and general exploration draw campers to this dispersed area along a dirt road past Parker Canyon Lake, where pull-offs and established fire rings are spread across multiple sites. Rattlesnakes and javelina are active here, so dog owners should stay alert on the trail. Vegetation runs greener from late winter through midsummer; by October, the grass dries out considerably. The road in is rough, and conditions can be windy. Campers interested in campgrounds near Coronado National Forest will find several nearby options, including Lakeview Campground about a mile and a half to the northwest. If the drive and dispersed-style setup suit your trip, this spot rewards a return visit.
