Buffalo Gap National Grassland hosts this free dispersed OHV area off a dirt and gravel road, primarily used by dirt bikers but open to other users as well. The site is mostly bare dirt, which turns muddy after rain. Wind is common, and coyotes are audible at night along with cattle from nearby ranches. A composting privy is on-site. Campers exploring campgrounds near Hermosa will find this one suits those comfortable with rough, unimproved conditions. Pack out everything; no water is available.
