Heart of the Mojave on Kelbaker Road

This spot really is a great place. Just 1.5 miles south of I-40, but a small mountain blocks the highway noise and view. There was some traffic in the morning and afternoons, which seemed to be a work crew doing something out past the camp spot. Traffic on Kelbaker is visible, but very light. I stayed three nights, with my only neighbors (two car campers) showing up late on the third night. I would have stayed all 14 days if not for the heat.

Sheep’s Corral valley, didn’t see sheep! Short walk to beautiful sandy washes. We were the only ones there. Pretty flat spots too many little fire pits for such a small space. We picked up some “papers”, but overall not trashed. Felt safe.

The spot right off the road behind that first hill isn’t that great, a little too close to the road for my taste BUT if you go down the road to the top of the hill there is one level flat spot with a fire pit. That spot is the best, couldn’t hear any cars, had great views, full AT&T service, totally alone.

Only thing I would recommend is having 4WD to get to it but you might not need it. Scout and decide for yourself first. Also if rain is in the forecast be alert since you have to cross a wash at the beginning. I imagine the road could get flooded or muddy.

Everything slopes to the south. We had one other camper join us that evening. This is a great spot.

23ft rv Beginning of april The camping area is small. There was one can there when we arrived on Friday , early in the day. By 5 pm there were several vehicles. Another rv parked about 30 ft away and a van pulled in at night and was about 15 ft behind us. The area is very pretty. Great mountains etc. bit if garbage around which always bums. Me out. Spent shell casings.
It’s ok in a pinch for sure and I could see it being good mid week when maybe nobody is around.

beautiful surroundings - large open space with fire pits and great views - fantastic night sky

The site is about a mile off I-40 and I had no problem pulling my 58ft rig into camp. My only major complaint is that a town of any legitimate size is about 80 miles away.

Pros: -good cell service -incredible view of the stars at night -beautiful landscape

Cons: -SO MUCH trash everywhere -very isolated
