Drove in and veered to the right to a campground that had a firepit next to a juniper bush that provided some nice privacy.  Very quiet at night, did some hiking around the area and lots of desert wildflowers and landscape.  Does have a trashcan but not much else.  We had a 17ft sprinter van and accessed it with no problem.   Lovely free campsite for the night. 

Quiet spot off the highway

It’s about a 2 and a half 3 hour drive outside of Vegas depending on how fast you’re going. If you drive past the sign, you missed it! You pull in off the highway and just pick a spot. I’ve been here 3 maybe 4 times. This is the first time I wasn’t alone, but there was enough distance between the sites that I didn’t mind it. There is a couple of fire rings and old picnic tables. No water hookups, bathrooms, or cell service. Nearest gas station is about 30 miles in either direction. The road in is a bit rocky, but not too bad.

Followed detailed directions in app and boom
Great spot! Didn’t know till I saw strange aircraft that site was actually right in area 51’s night sky. So trippy.

The drive on 375 was decent road, all uphill but not bad. Great views. Drive back down was super easy! A bit disappointed as the app had said showers and toilets.
