Not good anymore

This used to be an area where you can camp but it is closed off now. You can maybe park 3 cars and then walk to a spot to setup a tent. About 1:30 in the morning, at least 20 OHVs came by blasting Mexican music and waving Mexican flags. Just ruined the experience.

Wonderful. Would recommend. 10/10

Pretty sunset, desolate dirt road to arrive. Guarantees that no one else will be in this spot…this is your spot. Wonderful little camping spot in the middle of nowhere. If your on a road trip, and looking for a nice place to lay thy head, don’t hesitate, you will not pop your tire. Lovely view of Vegas. :) 🏕

Sitethe only one.
