This campsite, on BLM land near the southern end of the Turtle Mountain Wilderness, was chosen as it wasn't strewn with rock and was located next to a pretty mound of boulders. It offers easy access to the Horn Spring/Virginia May Mine as well as to Castle Rock. There are expansive views of the Turtle Mountain Wilderness and the Riverside Mountain Wilderness. The primary vegetation is creosote and palo verde and an occasional red fishhook barrel cactus. Upsides: No chollas to contend with! If camping on the east side of the boulder mound, you get shade earlier in the afternoon We saw only one other vehicle during our stay Camping is free Downsides: No toilets No picnic tables No trash cans No water No facilities of any kind Lots of broken glass Leave No Trace and +Add a Triplog after your car camp trip to support this local community.
