Good Desert Spot

Remote spot down a sand road. My forester handled it well but I would be worried in sedan. There are a few camp sites with fire pits and a vault toilet but that’s pretty much it so if you’re looking for remote vibes it’s perfect. Definitely recommend bringing a table and canopy. It gets hot during the day and cools at night. You can scavenge firewood around the area.

Pretty!

There were a few bugs by the water but the views made up for it. It’s extremely gorgeous right before the sun fully sets!

Primitive with vault toilet

This has been a family favorite camp spot for years! There are no amenities of a normal campground, only a vault toilet is provided. Bring your own water, picnic table, fire pit etc. There are no set camp sites, just pick what area looks good to you. It can get pretty hot or cold and windy depending on the time of year. There is a trail head that leads to a short hike to an oasis that is pretty popular.
