Great desert campsite! It’s conveniently close to I-40 if you’re traveling in either direction, but still far enough out that you aren’t bothered by any highway noise. Beautiful sunsets and night sky. The hosts were very welcoming, and so was their pup! Recommend for self-contained campers.

Wonderful stay

I had a wonderful stay at Jeanie and her husband’s place! The atmosphere was incredibly peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect retreat. I was there to teach my shy dog the joys of camping, and the setting was ideal for our little adventure. Jeanie warmly greeted me upon arrival, which made me feel right at home. I loved having the entire space to myself, allowing for a truly private experience. The weather was absolutely perfect, and the sky was a breathtaking sight, adding to the overall beauty of the location. I highly recommend this site to anyone seeking an easy-to-reach, secluded camping experience. It’s a hidden gem that offers tranquility and the chance to connect with nature. I can’t wait to return!

Not really comfortable

I can’t recommend this place. Here’s why. The owner was no help and it seemed like I was bothering her for just being there. Almost rude. When I asked if I had to park next to the house (the spot is very close to the house) she finally got back to me with, “There’s plenty of room back there”. Okay, where? How much? There’s a ton of property. Where’s the boundary? How far back can I go? I had no idea. Then she has “no fires, there’s a fire restriction”. I Googled it. There was no fire ban, period. I could see that no one was allowed to have a fire there for a very long time. Actually, Hipcamp will tell you if there is a fire ban. I just wanted to get out of there. There’s stars. But they are everywhere around here. Nothing was special and the rudeness was too much.

Jeanie and her husband were awesome hosts and their space is perfect for astronomy. I took my RV and 11" telescope for a night of skywatching and it was perfect. Very dark and quiet at night. Thanks Jeanie !
