Great camping sites with grills and tables. Better place for climbers then anything else but hiking the open Mesa is nice as well.

Stars come out at night.

great quiet spot

I went here beginning of March 2020 and it was gorgeous. no one else there, super quiet, amazing sunsets, and great rock climbing. Also, the stars are impeccable. Hopefully you have a hearty vehicle because the roads are tough up to it.

Remote and full of nature

Driving into this campground was incredible. The scenery all around was well worth the trip. Be prepared to endure whatever nature has in store for you. When we were here a wind storm kicked up in the middle of the night and literally almost blew us away! It was quite the experience. Also I'm not sure if it's couth to say this but personal protection is recommended. The campground we were at seemed to have some homeless squatters that were always around and nefariously snooping around our things. Nothing too crazy but we were definitely paying attention to their whereabouts at all times.

real hot

This place was really hot during the day time but the night was freezing cold. The site are full of wildlife and at night there are scorpions and tiny little rodents that come out. The site are on the small side and there are not people that come out here in the summer. i would recommend that you come during the winter when it is cooler

Great campsite with climbing

Headed out to Luna Park for an overnight with my wife and dogs. While I'm a climber, she only does it occasionally. This seemed like it'd be a good spot to hang out and climb a little without being too much of a "climbing trip".

Access is possible from the south via FR139 and Luna Park Road, but Google Maps won't show you that because it requires a high clearance vehicle or very careful driving.

There are 2-3 camp sites here and a handful of both sport and trad routes. A pit toilet is available. There was some scrub juniper to burn but not much firewood otherwise. The view back east is spectacular.

While relatively secluded, we did not have the campground to ourself. At night there were some "kids" driving around making some noise, but once they realized they couldn't have the run of the campground they wandered on.
