High Desert Camping

Wonderful mountain top oasis

I loved this little spot. Plenty of room to setup a tent (though I car camped), the bathroom was a nicely decorated composting toilet, and the little outdoor area for cooking with your own camping stove has a little table for chopping items or making morning coffee. The morning view was spectacular!!

Was super close to a house and RV. Was looking for more private.

Campsite was just as advertised in excellent condition. Stephanie accepted my same day request within an hour helping me be sure i had somewhere to crash for the night. Would definitely camp here again.

Breathtaking views! This was the perfect spot… close to Carson National Forest and Rio Grande hiking. The amenities were appreciated and the land was just fantastic. We would love to stay again!
