Summary
There are pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and shaded ramadas, but no water or hookups—RVs must be self-contained. The remote setting features wide-open desert grasslands, rolling hills, and spectacular spring wildflower blooms. Stargazing is excellent thanks to minimal light pollution. Nearby attractions include Soda Lake, Painted Rock (permit required), and the Caliente Mountains. Ideal for solitude seekers and nature lovers, the best time to visit is March–May for wildflowers or fall for cooler temperatures and wildlife viewing.

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.
