## Recent reviews

> Beautiful place. Christine and Doug were great hosts. We would definitely go back. The road to the campsite was gorgeous and easily done with 4x4. But as said in the description it takes about an hour after you leave the pavement to get to the campsite. You are on top of a mountain and have awesome sunrises and sunsets. Gorgeous desert views, but be ready for the wind. You are on a mountain in the desert so it is windy. We were in a lifted Bronco with 37s and overland trailer with rooftop tent. No water or electricity available. But we have solar and were able to have hot showers and lights.
