Absolutely trashed

Absolutely horrifying conditions. Litter everywhere. Glass, bullets, nails, and batteries everywhere. We were so horrified, we didn't stay.

Gorgeous But Trashy

Gorgeous, scrubby desert Mesa vistas but the party animals have had their way with this place. Camp on the side of the paved main road if you're unsure about the sandy side roads. Government Creek is a dry wash unless it rains.
