Peace and quiet

Easily able to navigate truck plus 20ft trailer. Flat, sandy campsites, maybe ~8-10 in total, a few spaced well apart from others. Wide open desert, sand dune dune, mountain views. Near base of large sand dune to hike. Sand all around which is great for my geriatric dog. Only one other camper. Great for a night or two. Occasionally able to text with 1 bar on Verizon.
