Better than it used to be

I think the name and the other review for this location is off a bit. As far as I can tell. it is actually called Ehrenberg Sand bowl and access is actually on Cibola Road. I confirmed this using Google maps satellite view and images to match a photo I took at this location. It might be fun for OHVs, but wouldn't stay here.

I didn't make it to camp

This is an ATV area. The road is made of super soft sand, you will need 4 wheel drive to get in. I got stuck and had to be pulled out, so I never made it to the BLM area. 3 stars to keep it neutral, since I couldn't get in
