Visitors frequently highlighted the abundance of year-round activities including hiking, horseback riding, and winter skiing. The first-come-first-serve camping offers spacious sites with beautiful scenery, though campers should prepare for windy conditions and bring water since none is provided on-site.

Peaceful and not busy

It takes a minute to get to this spot, but we found plenty of space with beautiful scenery.

Desert camping at it’s finest

This was my first time at this campground and it was great! It’s close to hiking, wild horses, the u-dig trilobite digging center, the sink hole. Great for a weekend getaway. We were there mid-May so the temperature was perfect, but it was windy. You can see all the stars on a clear night

Things you should know: No reservations, it’s first come first serve There is one pavilion for a bunch of camping sites (this is your only source of shade so bring sunscreen) Bring your own water Dog-friendly, but there are lots of people passing through during the day. There is a bathroom in site Make sure you have good tires and drive slow, the rocks destroyed our tires
