Great location with amazing views of the distant book cliffs across the Fruita/Grand Junction valley. Not a lot of tree cover, make sure to bring a portable toilet/"luggable loo" type thing, and plenty of water. Drove in with a teardrop trailer and enjoyed our time in the area.

My wife and I did the Rattlesnake Arches hike and camped nearby. There were three campsites we found on the way to Rattlesnake Arches. Two of them left Black Ridge Road via double track and one was just before you entered day use area territory. The two double track sites are primitive and get you close to the cliffs for amazing views of the far buttes across the Fruita/Grand Junction valleys and that's where we stayed. You're exposed to wind with some small bristlecone tree cover, but we loved the site and would go again. -Bring plenty of water -Bring a "luggable loo" or equivalent, burying human waste is difficult because of SUPER rocky soil -Bring an awning or something for shade

Had a great time camping with my s/o over memorial day weekend. There are literally dozens, if not close to a hundred camping spots and some are more accessible if you have a 4x4 or are able to carry your camping stuff in a short distance from the road. Views are great depending on where you camp, and if weather cooperates you'll have a great time.
