Some Great Dry Camping

This campground is definitely one you want to hit. It’s fairly typical of desert mountain camping with the usual low scrub and a little dusty but amazing scenery every direction as you are on top of a mountain. It is generally only open May-Nov and is usually chilly at night because it is at almost 7,000 feet. It can be difficult to get to if the road is rutted but a 2wd vehicle can make it up there without a problem if the road is graded.
Pros- great scenic, good hikes, plenty of trees and fire rings Cons- it is on a popular ohv trail (Miller Jeep Trail) so there can be a little traffic on the weekends if you’re in the site at the top of the trail head, the toilets are not maintained very often because it is a remote site, it can get very windy, no water available
