There were better spots than we snagged

Packed gravel, several places to pull off, road was rough but very passable. We came in late and moved to Kelso Dunes in the am but the other spot close by looked like a 5 star. No entrance fees. No services other than official campgrounds. Preserve is 1.6 million acres, you will need to move around to see different spots. Rings Trail is worth the hike. @TKCompass on YouTube TV
