It’s free and no one bothers me, it gets five stars

So great. Got there at roughly 6 o’clock, took a shower, made food, got to sleep. There are some trains off in the distance, but I use my earplugs. I’m a light sleeper, if you’re heavy sleeper, you’ll have no problem.

And once again, the app paid for itself by not having to have to stay and then motel with roaches, etc. It’s mid May and it felt like the temperatures dropped into the high 40s and hover there until about 6:30 AM. Once the sun takes over the mountain, the heat skyrocket and you’ll want to be getting packed up pretty quick.

Everything is super dry, so unless you’re confident with campfires, you might want to not do that there were some flyers, but no scorpions, no thanks. But I did see holes, so I’m sure snakes will be coming out when the weather gets warmer.

Sitethere aren’t any numbered sites, so I just take a clear area right off the lake

Great site, plenty or room and wildlife

Changed my itinerary at the last minute and found this free camping, had I know Wilcox was so cool I would have stayed longer. Super wide road circling the evap pond so room for any size rig with bird watching for days

Birders Paradise

Great spot for a night or two to listen and watch the sandhill cranes. Unfortunately some locals tagged my van with a paintball. Be cautious.

Bird Sanctuary

This location is near the I-10 and great for an overnight while passing thru. No amenities, and I wouldn’t suggest building fires or setting up long term camp. Gorgeous sunset/sunrise and huge variety of birds to view.

Siteaccessible areas all around lake loop
