Whispering Wind Desert Oasis
Take a helicopter!
My thumbs down rating comes not from the property itself which was appropriately described but from the hellacious road you have to take to get there. The last 5 miles was extremely rutted and required me to come to multiple stops to traverse the deep ruts. I'm thankful I was not pulling a trailer! I was however in a 4X4 pickup. This was not my first rodeo as I have been camping in many primitive areas in the past. If the description had included a badly rutted 5 mile road, I would have found other accommodations. I have to question the 2 rave reviews for this camping spot that oddly neglected to mention the poor condition of the entrance road.

Whispering Wind Desert Oasis
Quiet and Scenic Camping Spot
This is a lovely and very quiet location situated in grasslands among rolling hills, and piñon pines. The hosts are friendly and helpful. It's a ways in, so I suggest spending more than one night.

Sublime campsite
Wonderful property with excellent hosts. I’m my 10 years of overland camping, this is one of the finest properties I have camped on. As a fun perk, there is plenty of high quality fallen wood, which makes excellent material for the damp fire. The site (and hosts) are absolutely splendid.
