Summary
There are no established campsites, but a staging area provides basic amenities: vault toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and room for RVs (no hookups or water). The area is rugged desert with sand dunes, sagebrush, and wide-open skies—ideal for off-roading, hiking, and horseback riding. Popular Juniper Dunes Wilderness trails are nearby, including non-motorized areas for peaceful exploration. Best visited in spring or fall for mild weather, as summers are extremely hot. Expect a remote, adventurous experience with minimal facilities.

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.
