Kelbaker Boulders Dispersed — Mojave National Preserve
About
National Park
Mojave National Preserve
Camping in undeveloped campsites is allowed in previously used or disturbed sites outside of the "day-use-only" areas. In most cases these sites include a rock or metal fire ring; not all sites contain a fire ring. All fires must be in a fire ring or fire pan; new fire rings cannot be constructed. Camping tramples vegetation and disturbs soils. By reusing existing sites, you help protect the desert from further damage. Practice Leave No Trace principles, including burrying human waste at least six inches deep.
Careful planning and knowledge of camping guidelines and regulations will help ensure an enjoyable and safe experience for you, future visitors, and the fragile desert environment.

Excellent, beware of sand.
Getting in early paid off I had first pick and got the first big site by the rock formation, which seems to be the best site. Further down the road the sand gets deeper and the spots are less defined. Two other campers pulled within shouting distance, but still plenty of privacy and no one bothered us. T-Mobile is excellent here. Rock formation is excellent for blocking the sound of a generator if you stick it behind the rocks. Hot days, cool nights in June.
Great place for a quick stop
This was a really easy spot to find and get setup. We came in late after driving all day and night. The spots that were in the rocks already had people in them. So we just setup by the road. The sites in the rocks looked really nice and spaced perfectly to be private.

Great Mojave Desert base
Level site with east access to interstate. Worked as great base camp for Mojave. Windy most days.
