Great place to camp. You can get up to a good amount of sites with 2wd but some require at least good clearance. Beautiful views and very serene. There's a pit toilet at the first spot so that was convenient for certain times. There are a few trails that lead off from the sites and make a good opportunity for hiking. It can be warm during summer so plan accordingly

The road starts off easy enough but gets rough fast. Having a 4x4 or a raised vehicle to continue will help. After the second fire restriction sign the road gets easier to pass. The campsite is spacious with a vault toilet. It's very quiet. Pack in-Pack out.

Once the road turns into dirt you have 4 miles till you get here. The road isn't that bad, once we arrived, there were others here that made it in sedans. No running water but 2 bathrooms (which were stocked with toilet paper) as well as trashcans outside. Besides All the campsites not being flat but at an angle, all 4 campsites have picnic tables and a firepit. 2 out of the 4 sites here are bigger then the others, and as you know, 1st come, first serve. It is nice & quiet. There are flys and gnats, so if you want to enjoy the campsites, I'd suggest bringing a screened room. We stayed for 3 days, 2 nights and had a wonderful time.

The campsite is very difficult to get to, the road is rough, 6 miles long, with big potholes. But the place is quite secluded.

★★★★★ 5.0 David K Miller Photography · Jul 2019

Amazing place to get away from the crowds and do some off roading and get away from the desert heat. Went here in early July and there were tons of flowers just before you get to the peak but the bugs were unbearable during the day and if you stood in one place for more than a 10 seconds you would have 3-5 bugs simultaneously bite your leg. Other than the bugs this place was a blast to camp and I can't wait to go back next year in the spring and hopefully there will be less bugs then.
