Amboy Crater Dispersed

It’s a little too quiet for my liking! I’m the only rv in the car park and it seems this is where you camp if you don’t have a tent. Hoping someone else will turn up and camp so it’s not just me!

Nice star gazing and nice area but was very crowded. We pulled in late and there was probably 15 other people in the area. Just something to keep in mind…

One of our favorite spots. We were the only night campers. A bit busy in the afternoon, but not overwhelming. Beautiful sunset, great star gazing. Vault toilets were a bit messy when we first arrived. Within the hour a cleaning arrived. Lots of toilet rolls added, trash emptied, everything wiped down. Toilets smelling clean and fresh. Not sure if Tuesdays are regular cleaning day. No water. Amboy lights are bright but in the far distance. And the crater itself is fantastic.

Just a very clean parking/camping lot with 360 degree view. Amboy crater and the lava fields are beautiful hikes. Can be super hot and windy.

Ok. Now that's out of the way. It's a parking lot for The Amboy volcanic crater. There is plenty of room for camping overnight for any size rig. Clean pit toilets and paved parking area. Easy hike to the crater, but a hard pull to the top. No water. Excellent At&t 5g cell service. The nighttime sky viewing was great. Note: When leaving the monument onto 66, there's a no left turn sign. Ignore it. The road is open to Ludlow.

This is a great spot. Now I might be a bit biased because it’s only 1 and 1/3 from my house but this spot is underrated.
It’s super clean. No trash etc. the Mojave preserve parks do a great job. If you go to the day use area it’s also clean and well kept as well as just really a nice area. Great hike to the crater. They filmed “ Journey ToThe Center Of The Earth “ there. There aren’t a lot of spots to camp but because nobody comes here very much it’s always pretty simple to find a little spot. It’s a great weekender/ short get away spot. There is a train that runs by but it’s not loud. It’s far enough away that the train sound is actually soothing at night and I think ads to the charm. Yes, can be windy but also can be perfect. The stargazing is amazing and it will be busy here if there is a stargazing event

This is a seemingly in remarkable spot but we really like it. It’s close to home for us but on a nice day it’s very pretty and the volcano is cool to hike to. The day use parking lot has bathrooms. Not a lot of spots to camp but it’s also not a crowded spot unless there is a stargazing event. It’s close to Roy’s for a fun little touristy stop. The camping area is the overflow parking lot.

We had a 23 ft rv Decent cell service

Plain and simple just a spot to pull off route 66 and do disbursed BLM camping. I found a spot not too far off the road because it had LTE 1 bar. Trains rumble by fairly often but it's not that loud. Some folks are staying up the day use area but there are no posted signs saying no overnight camping either there or at the 2nd parking lot which is halfway to the road. I enjoyed the hike up to the top of the crater.

Main Amboy Crater Parking Lot does not allow overnight camping, but their overflow parking area does. Overflow parking is asphalt but has dirt edges you can pitch a tent on. Otherwise, there were dirt areas we camped at. Gets crowded during new moon weekends, and can get windy.

Had AT&T service here. No TMo.
