Great Summer Tenting Area

NO facilities at all. No water, no trash pickup, and no toilets. Bring Everything and pack it all out. 

If there are fire restrictions, PLEASE don't light campfires. After years of drought, this place is a tinderbox. Your mistake could easily trap people further up the canyon with no way out. It is Illegal for a reason. 

The first mile is an easy dirt road, suitable for RV's and Campers.

The rest of the way is a fairly rough forest road - heavily rutted in places, with some steep drops. I wouldn't take anything but the smallest trailer back here, but it's perfect for tents. 

That being said; my AWD Subaru Outback made it there and back with no problems. 

Beautiful and cool during the summer - gorgeous stars at night.

Great views away from heat

Lots of dispersed sites along the road and if you're willing to explore a bit, there are some hidden from the road as well with some amazing views.

Very few insects due to the elevation, and except for the occasion airplane taking off from Vegas, pretty quiet. (Though occasionally there are mysterious booms? Jets from nearby air force base? Dunno.)

Summer getaway

Great spot to get out of the Vegas heat. Found a spot to setup my hammock to watch the stars at night. Was private and quiet. A lot of disperse sites and you can go anywhere with any vehicle if you drive carefully.
