Desert with lots of pine trees

Tent only sites. Ground isn't very level. Pit toilet ran out of toilet paper by Sunday. Lots of broken glass every where. No trash cans. People don't pick up after their dogs.

Coolest spot!

Great location for visiting the National Monument. Picnic tables and fire pits everywhere, all are tent sites. Parking is available, but you can’t drive directly up to the site, it’s only a few yards away though. Stayed two nights. There’s a bathroom, it’s an average pit toilet so it’s not the best thing ever. Great place to explore, recommend hiking out to the Miracle Rock & going further up along the ridge line. Did some bouldering too, so bring your climbing shoes if that interests you.

Picnic Area only

Well this is a BLM Picnic area, it appears to be day use only as there is very limited parking and really no place to camp overnight. Area is not maintained and has trash ect around.

Bring water and appropriate footwear as the terrain is rocky and exposed.
