Summary
It's a dispersed camping area—no established campsites, reservations, or fees. No toilets, water, picnic tables, or hookups are available, though fire rings may occasionally be found. RVs can access the area via rough roads, but high-clearance vehicles are recommended. Surrounded by rugged landscapes, the remote vibe offers solitude and expansive views. It's ideal for those exploring nearby Saline Valley or looking for off-grid adventures. Spring and fall are the best times to visit due to extreme summer heat and potential winter snow.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
