Desert spot close to Fonts Point

I stayed here a night after driving out to check Fonts Point. It seems to be the closest site for dispersed camping with fire pits. I had a nice solo camping trip sleeping in my jeep but think I prefer Blair Valley Campgroud. I like the more openness of Blair Valley. There was an RV and a bigger Van in some spots.

Hidden Gem

I drove about a mile back in the Arroyo and only saw one other vehicle. The road is a little Sandy and rough but quite possible with four-wheel drive. There are plenty of Dispersed campsites It is out of the wind Which was blowing ferociously on the road. Highly recommend.

Siteno numbered sites.
