A spot when you need one

We are thankful to have a spot available when we were in need. It was challenging to find in the dark, and through the night the neighbors(?) or someone out there made us pretty uncomfortable.

The camp is remote and perfect. Directions were spot on, had no problem finding it. We put the fire pit to good use.

Tiny Cacti Ranch

Site was very private and has an amazing fireplace. Unfortunately this site is not pet friendly for tent campers. There are small cacti all around the even bordering the fireplace. Great place if you're willing to wear shoes, but we did not feel it was safe to have our dog wandering around
