Grapevine Hills 1 (GH-1)

Excellent Backcountry camping location. Large enough to fit almost any RV you can tow in, and the site can accommodate up to twenty of your closest camping buddies. With my son and I, we had the entire space to ourselves, and enjoyed the solitude, the wildlife and exploring the trails off the site to government spring which was located just off the side of the campsite. Easily accessible with most SUVs, and some cars may be able to make it to gh1 without 4x4 or high clearance, however much past that site on the road you will definitely need 4x4 and high clearance to reach the balanced rock trailhead parking around 6 miles down the grapevine hills road. But if you are looking for a primitive camping location, that still has great access to amenities, paved roads etc, yet has the solitude t

Great trail. Arrive early. AWD vehicle had no problem. I probably wouldn't try if it was muddy.

Pitch a tent in the desert in the middle of nowhere. You can see for miles when it's light. Magnificent and solitudinal spot
