Weekend Trip to Lower bristlecone camp / rv / van

Weston’s land was an amazing experience, getting there was easy and place was absolutely beautiful. My husband and I had a great time there, from cooking on the fire pit, to have lots of space to rest, relax and even play! Our little shih tzu had a great time as well. This is a place we would definitely love to visit again!

We had a great time staying here. Wild horses grazed in the yard while we were there... Which was awesome. Nice to have more space than the average campsite... And, not have to compete for a space. We're already considering a return visit.

Beautiful views. Plenty of space for vehicle, camper, and tent if needed. Close to hiking trail. Quiet. Private. Primitive camping. Great for boondockers.

After a long day of driving we arrived after dark. We really appreciated the hosts clear directions, and map to our site! We had absolutely no problems parking our 35 ft fifthwheel in the dark. The site was level and the hookups worked without any issues. It felt super safe, the whole property is fenced and gated with code access. It was a gorgeous night sky, you definitely have a good view of the stars! We recommend this spot to anyone traveling through who needs a good night's sleep.
