Vault 113

Had a fire ring with enough wood laying around. I was on a bike trip, so it was pretty chill.

Vault 113

Great place to tent camp! Not too far from the main road with easy to follow directions to the spot. Awesome fire pit! Does get a bit windy. Great views of the sunrise/sunset and starry night sky.

Spectacular Sunrise

It was lovely to be out in the desert. The sunrise was spectacular. The campsite is a nice space and wasn't at all crowded. Two thumbs up!

Vault 113

We loved tent camping on Ryan’s land. Great fire ring. Close to interesting Salton Sea nostalgia. Recommend taking a drive around Salton Sea to Bombay Beach. Muscular to see! Thanks Ryan!

Vault 113

This was an interesting place to camp. It is not particularly private, but quite convenient and really nice fire pit. If you are a person looking for escape to nature, this may not be the ideal location. But if you are looking to recreate in the area, this is a great find. Ryan was extremely helpful and communicative. I am the kind that is generally looking for an escape, but even I would camp here again. I was solo, but this would also be good for a noisy group. Thank you, Ryan!
