sounds good

While the campsite boasts its charm, the constant stream of vehicle traffic could potentially disrupt the tranquility. Positioned as the initial stop on the route to Ernst Tinaja, be prepared for a steady flow of passersby, impacting the serene camping experience. mario

Candelilla on the famous Old Ore Road

Nice campsite but a lot of vehicle traffic. Since this is the first campsite on the road headed to Ernst Tinaja you will have a lot of people passing your campsite. I was able to get a little cell service using AT&T. Most vehicles can make it to this campsite but maybe not lower cars or vans.
