Learn more about this land: WARNING: We can't accommodate rigs with a total length longer than 28 feet at this time unless you make special arrangements and we assist you with parking. You will be camping in a fairly level grassy area among mesquite, Juniper and cedar trees with easy access to our red and green colored mesas and arroyos. The canyons have streams with running water during and right after rain storms. But this is mostly dry semi arid desert country with many different kinds of thorny plants and cactus. The blossoms are beautiful, especially the Yuccas, in the spring starting in late March through May. We have many types of birds including hawks, owls and roadrunners. Bobcats, wild hogs, deer, coyotes, foxes, raccoons and opossums also share the ranch. There is great county road bicycling on paved roads with almost no traffic. This is primitive dry camping and currently there are no bathrooms, showers or potable water. The county road is paved and the ranch access road is caliche. But during rainy periods the short hip camp road can become muddy so minimize driving.
