Site 3 - Quail Quarters
Best Wildflower Camping
Beautiful campsite! We chose #3 because it was the site with the most wildflowers. We loved waking up and seeing them outside our tent door.
Some reviewers mention needing a 4x4 vehicle to get there, so we were a little nervous. However, that wasn’t the case. We made sure to take a newer car (2012 mini suv FWD) and it was completely fine. The main thing is to make sure you follow the driving directions provided by the host, which is the smoothest route. If you take a different route, it’s very likely that you could run into difficult terrain. Regardless, we also tried a couple different routes and were able to clear bumps just by going slowly. I would not recommend this location directly after heavy rains if you don’t have at least AWD, because they are dirt roads that would get pretty muddy. It hadn’t rained in a week or two when we went (late spring), and the roads were bone-dry.
Another thing to note is that if you are interested in star gazing, remember to plan your visit during a new moon for optimal visibility. Site #3 is wonderful for flowers, but less ideal for stargazing, due to being the one at the bottom of the hill, with a partial view of minor local light pollution.
Overall our stay was extremely pleasant and beautiful. There were no other guests during our stay and felt very private. Hearing the grasses blow in the breeze and the birds singing made for a very peaceful retreat. Our host was also very quick to respond and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Site 2 - Acres' Oasis
Great spot! Easy to find, even in the dark, awoke to beautiful blooms. Stripped back, simple, well thought out camping experience! 5 of 5 would do again!

Site 5 - Hilltop Heaven
A Unique, Remote Adventure
It was a little strange navigating to the site in the dark; you drive across a couple of miles of very bumpy dirt road before eventually having to break off and drive into the fields.
When I finally arrived and was setup I got to take in the location. It was a surreal experience to see large signs of industry and infrastructure strewn across the empty landscape. It was nearly a full moon when I was there, so the stars were a little drown out, but the ghostly glow bathing the surroundings had it own allure.
What really tied this together though was the morning. The sunrise was what could only be described as aggressively beautiful. After finishing my coffee, the drive that had been intimidating the night before was a total thrill ride in the light of day.
If you don't might a little wind and hearing some dogs in the distance when you first arrive, then you'll be handsomely rewarded with rolling hills and fascinating vistas.

Site 5 - Hilltop Heaven
Beauty, 4WD, Wind
This is a beautiful place, especially if you're looking for a little solace and "recharge" time. Views are great, sites are far away from each other. However, be warned that 1) you really need 4WD to get here. You leave the main road onto dirt roads for ~2 miles that have significant erosion and holes. It didn't bother me - it was fun but I have a lifted vehicle to overcome. 2) It can get REALLY windy here. My 8200lb, 4WD 170 Sprinter was shaking continuously, night and day, for my 2 day stay. I don't know if this is seasonal, or continuous - but be prepared.

Site D - Dispersed Desert Dream
Very disappointing:(
I picked this place to watch meteors shower. In description it says that this place is very dark and good for stargazing. However when we arrived we saw bright light from the road and fabric ( or so ) next to it.
The road itself isn’t safe. Also it’s only off-road, which goes through rough field with lots electricity towers and hard to drive if you don’t have 4*4 car. There were no signs on the way, we got lost. We followed directions which was sent by host. Few roads were covered with manure and straw and we could not pass.
The door… one side is dark, one is very bright coz of lights from road and fabric
