Quiet Desert Splendor
We stayed 2 nights. There are a number of areas that have been set up for camping. The drive in and out was easy with the small camper. It was extremely quiet! We barely saw another human the entire time we were there. Walked trails and geocached. It does get fairly windy though.
Nothing here but lovely spot
Felt like you were in the middle of nowhere but when we woke there were hikers close by and then a jeep safari came through!! All good though and stunning location. You just need to be completely self sufficient... but isn't that the idea?!
Great Primitive Site
Though the turn off is a bit hard to spot when it gets dark, the sites on Wee Thump Rd are very nice. Gorgeous views of mountains and Joshua Trees as far as the eye can see. The spot we were at had a nice little stone fire pit and was very clean save for a couple of shell casings and bottle caps. Very little noise from the nearby state route, though there was more light pollution than we expected. For its proximity to Vegas (1/2 hour) and LA (4.5 hours), it was a hidden gem! Will definitely be back here when it’s a bit warmer!
The dirt road to the site was rutted but far from impassible even in our little sedan. Searchlight is a nice place to grab a bite on your way out, and if Walking Box Ranch is open it’s worth a visit!
