TravelerI camped on the rim of the hole with my daughter. While we had a good time, and there weren't very many other people around, we arrived after June 1 during a dry year, meaning no campfire. The temperature during the day was around 85, and pretty comfortable, but at night it dropped down to around 40. We were pretty cold since we had counted on a campfire. As for the Hole in the Ground, it is pretty cool, and you can walk the trails down into it and back up. Typical high desert semi forested terrain, decent roads, but bring a map, it's a hole, and therefore not visible until you're right up on it. Our map showed the power poles that run nearby, as well as the railroad tracks. We used those to orient ourselves so as to not get lost. There are no services here, so if you need something, you'd better bring it. We liked it, and will return.
TravelerThis campsite is dry camping. Silver Creek may be dry, as it has been since 2021. No facilities other than a picnic table. No Cell, No WiFi, etc. If you like totally 'being away from it all,' this is your place, if you can get there.

Plenty of alright pull offs along the road, drove for a bit and found a quarry you could drive to the top of. Wild fire fighters came up to track the fires. ATVers in the middle of the night & people shooting in bottom of quarry - scawy
Guide
No indication of camping here. The last turn off is blocked by a barbed wire gate and there’s a house at the end of the road.
ScoutExcellent sunset view. We took a smaller 4wd RV here and the road got really rough right after this spot.
GuideWe Loved this Spots, lots room! And more spots along this road. Best for Tents. But right after turn off 31, there’s a nice area for an RV.
