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.
