No drinking water. There is a pit toilet, trash, and plenty of cactus. This is a very open area that is more like a pasture than dispersed camping. It is a great spot if you want to get away from it all. The road in will turn from pavement to dirt. I would be careful during the rainy season. No shade trees which means it is great for solar. There was only one rock fire ring. You might want to have a bit of clearance on your vehicle.

Better than when you found it.
