Learn more about alerts →Desert hikers and stargazers who book sites #2, #4, or #14 early on ReserveCalifornia. Spring is the sweet spot: mild temps, wildflowers, Peninsular bighorn sheep sightings, and dark skies after 10 PM quiet hours. Cabins are worth the $70 if wind is in the forecast.
Road noise reaches the sites reliably, and privacy is scarce with 27 spots packed close. No potable water on-site means hauling your own, and RVs over 21 feet won't fit. Anyone expecting solitude in a remote desert setting will be disappointed.

Winter and spring deliver the best camping weather, with moderate temperatures for hiking and clear skies at night. Summer heat regularly pushes past 100°F, making early morning and evening the only comfortable times outside. The desert gets around 6 inches of rain annually, so expect dry conditions year-round. Wind can pick up strong enough that reviewers recommend cabin stays over tents when it's forecast.
Spring is peak: ideal wildflower displays and birdwatching; peak pricing noted.
