Remote, Quiet; a Desert Oasis

I stayed only one night here in 2022 while traveling through. It was a pretty drive through rural western Nevada, which ended in a four mile graded dirt road. I was driving an SUV with high clearance, but the road is suitable for RVs if you take it slow. Both campgrounds are RV suitable. This one does not have hook ups, but quail run does. The facilities are very new. Each site has a covered picnic table It is not a great tent camping area in my opinion because it is a desert loop and you are out in the open. I slept in my SUV. The area itself is beautiful though, and I need to make another, longer stop there and at the nearby "elbow" unit, which is more remote.
