This is a very natural place with awesome rock formations, abundant wildlife etc. I did find an ancient axe head years ago in one of the crevices. Up above camp is a rock formation I have always called "Mike Rushmore".

This is a really cool place and I get a lot of compliments from those that have been here or have seen it. It's a hikers paradise with lots of rock features, sandy areas, tons of trees, wildlife and all the beautiful plant life of a high desert.  The lake is close by for Fishing, kayaking, boating, or just a good ole swim about 10 minutes away. 
So, here is what you get on my 15 acres.
Me, as your host to show you around and let you pick from several spots available where you would like to camp on the upper 5 acres for RV, truck,  tent,, etc. I can accomidate whatever. 
For those that want the natural experience I suggest down below. So cool. There is no one right next to me to the north, south, east, or west. Very private.  It is off grid.. However, potable water and generator can be available if needed for and extra fee.  This place is absolutely amazing. 
Your host:
Mike
It's my place so I can do what I want.
I'll show you around, hook you up so you have a nice stay.  Contact me if interested in a more natural place to stay. Let me know how I can help or if you have any questions.
