Secluded and quiet

Wanted a quiet place out of the desert for the night and this place was perfect. Large gravel area that was likely a parking lot- we camped just east of this off the road- found a level spot for our tent. There are no amenities so bring water and plan on packing out all garbage/waste.

Siteno specific sites, but plenty of room for several campers

Private and quiet

We drove to the old ski area parking lot but chose to park among the trees closer to the road. We didn’t see anyone. Flat, dark and quiet.
