Primitive camping- amazing views!
Jen’s campsite exceeded our expectations! It was true camping with ease! I’m glad we drove in our truck, as we literally off roaded to the spot we wanted. It could get a little tricky out there if we didn’t have a lifted vehicle, I presume. The views are incredible and every morning and evening we couldn’t believe that we were lucky enough to experience it! We walked around the flats, I’m guessing it was once a lake, but there is lots of room to roam. The night sky was absolutely incredible- I have never seen so many stars and milky way! It was primitive camping, so don’t expect the toilet to be close by- we didn’t care. It was very quiet out there- lots of coyotes in the distance, but we felt safe with Jen’s dogs on patrol! Bring lots of stakes as the wind was vicious at points. Short drive to sand dunes and zapata falls, both equal distance in either direction. We grabbed a spot with a fire ring- first come, first serve. Lots of space between sites. We didn’t see the host, so we didn’t feel like we were being micro managed or anything. A couple campers came and went, but everyone was very respectful of lights out/quiet time at 10p! The site was exceptionally clean. We would absolutely come back again.
