If you are looking for seclusion in the desert

This is an interesting, remote desert campground at 5500 ft. elevation.  There are pit toilets which are maintained, plus there is potable water and, amazingly, a dump station.  If you like to be in the desert surrounded by beautiful mountains, this is your place.  It is rustic, but there are picnic tables and curved shade shelters around.  There are a few scattered trees.  There is room here for 20+ campsites.  I am here June 20, 2024, and the place is only 1/3 full.  Eight day max stay and free.  Very dusty, 7 mile gravel road to get here off highway.  All in all, I have enjoyed the desert environment.  Very quiet.  No reservations.  I rated it a three because it's pretty rustic and remote.  Came from Ely, NV to the north.   Fill up your gas tank in Ely, as there is only one gas station in 77 miles.
