Quiet, peaceful

Primitive camp. Nice views, pull in is flat enough, and there is 0 road noise.

High Desert Peace

We came out in the dark, so didn’t get a prime spot. There are several areas to camp. We passed 2 other campers in our way in. There is a place to camp on the left, in the trees before the gps coordinates and many beyond the coordinates.

Great spot close to highway

Stayed at a sweet little spot amongst some trees at the first campsite we came up on (about 4 miles up a gravel road). No water sources around, but if you have supplies you’re set. Great spot for dogs too. Lots of wild flowers and plenty of area to explore

Quick access

My husband and I checked it out to see if it could be a good place to stop for the night while we are traveling and found it to be a perfect for that. It’s far enough off the road but not to far to get on and off HWY 20.
