Close but remote

Deep sand at times. They recommend 4 wheel drive. Got in on my Ducati but it wasn’t pretty. Only one at the entire place and only a few miles from town.

Great hikes

BLM land surrounded by Mecca wilderness good spot for boondocking. Washboard road into the camping area lots of sand so be careful and don't get dug in. Spent the first night at the pit toilet camp area spent the second night up by the trailhead which by the way needs a pit toilet. I did the rope canyon trail and it's fairly dangerous and strenuous take gloves and be ready to do a lot of crawling and bouldering.

Sitecamping area near the pit toilets and the trailhead this is just basically boondocking
