Black Butte Basin Camping
The owner messaged me a couple times to make sure everything was fine. Thank you. We pulled over on the side of the dirt road and made out camp spot facing the mountain. The views are gorgeous. It can get pretty hot and it gets a bit windy around 6 pm. Nothing too crazy. I would recommend to carry traction boards. The desert has a lot of loose sand. Just in case. Overall we enjoyed our stay. We didn't run into anyone at all on our 2 nights. Thank you for everything. We will be coming back!

Fun remote getaway!
Black Butte Basin Camping
Way cool. Remote and secluded. Bring a shovel to clear the ground and dig your fire pit. Nothing on premises, so Bring what you need, firewood too. Easy to find and you can pick anywhere on his land to camp. Lots of prickly plants so wear pants and socks and be prepared to clear your spot a bit with your shovel. Definitely gonna go back, only 1:45 minute drive from LA.

I did not find the place. i followed the directions as the host posted them, however a big rig accident on one of the hwys made me turn around. I was rerouted and then lost in the dark on sandy dunes. I was alone and scared my car would get stuck! I would attempt again, but only with someone along with me and in daylight.
