"The red rock canyons surrounding the campground are reminiscent of Arizona or Utah desert. Great for hiking, photography, star gazing, climbing and off roading. Dog friendly."
"We luckily got a site away from the road, so less blowing sand from people driving by.
We were right next to the nature trail, which was great to have to get some exercise and nice views. "
"The location has access to off-road trails, but the riders stopped before dark and we had a quiet night."
"Just came to camp a few days very quiet at night, doesn’t get too windy, very convenient to road and many spacious spots around near rocks."
$35 / night
"One of us felt that being secluded away from the main park gave the overnighters area a spooky lonely vibe at night (the other of us didn't feel that way and felt fine)."
"The office for the park is located at the RV parts building. There is also a dump station with potable water just outside the overnighter area with a self-pay station for just $10."
$10 - $20 / night

Amenities: Big trash and recycling bins were a bonus."

"are open (at least 1, maybe 2) water appears to have been turned off. on plus side many sites have nice shade, but bugs are a problem in summer because of small creek. overall a great place to get away from"
GuideNice place! Just came to camp a few days very quiet at night, doesn’t get too windy, very convenient to road and many spacious spots around near rocks. I can get up to 3 bars of cell AT&T service in some spots. Has one spot with nice shaded tree which also had a raven nest in there with a baby raven.
GuideFun place to roam around the pinnacles during sun up and sun down! Will get very hot and windy during afternoon and night. Private camp sites, and saw one large site for bigger rigs. No service until you get to about Ridgecrest, so about 10 miles out from the start of the unpaved road with AT&T. Road to pinnacles is about 5 miles of gravely washboard road but gets smoother as you get around pinnacles. Has one vault toilet and informational signs along the road.
ScoutThis area is in the Wild & Scenic Kern River. Camping is only allowed In designated locations. Our site was perfect for our Overlander Suburban with a beautiful view of the river from inside our rig! Free and has trash dumpsters.
ScoutNot a bad just open desert, staying here on momorial day and really nobody is here so that’s nice
TravelerHuge ruts in dirt road, there’s room to go around them. Several Joshua Trees .
TravelerShort drive from 395 and once the road became dirt it was easily navigable in our Promaster. No one else there. Nice wide open views. It was extremely windy with 50+mph gusts which calmed after the sun went down.
ScoutWe stayed at this wonderfull RV Park last week. The park is right on the river, clean and in wonderful condition. There is a sandy beach with water access. The park is right near downtown and you can walk to cafe's, bakery, shops and market. Hope to return soon.
GuideWell, for PCT lovers like myself it’a definitely a place worth staying and have a little time off to meet some hikers and enjoy the peacefullness. There are restrooms but any flowing water available. The space is pretty tight there too, but it’s managable.
GuideThe spot is definitely good to simply stay over the night and move on quickly. Not much around, but definitely quiet and with lots of space.
