I was looking to camp near Calico, for California Days. This camp was private, peaceful, and quiet. I enjoyed hearing the turkeys and the occasional train whistle. The scenery is beautiful and remote. Matthew was very nice and helpful with directions. This site requires that your rig be self-contained, as there are no amenities. I would stay again.

I love to come out to this site. It’s open and has wide views and a nice fire pit. It’s peaceful and the night time skies are just as vast. Be fully prepared for all camping needs and you’ll have a great time.

Beautiful valley in the Mojave. I felt safe as a solo female camper and my dog had a great time sniffing around. This was a last minute find after my original campground was closed, and I'm glad I got to experience this beautiful location!

Great place to stop overnight, right off I40, beautiful sunrise, friendly host who provided all the information I needed and was easily available via hipcamp messenger. Stayed with my pup, who enjoyed the place as well.

Site 4 was exactly what we were hoping for. Cold, clear weather with perfect desert nights and wide open skies. The campsite was quiet, clean, and genuinely beautiful, with plenty of space to relax and take it all in. It felt peaceful without feeling too isolated, and everything was well cared for. We will definitely be back.

This is my favorite nomadic spot and really like how open it is from all angles. If you’re a camper that can bring everything you need, this is a perfect. Private, quiet, away from it all
