Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
If you’re worried about getting stuck in the sand, this is a good place. It’s a dirt road junction on the paved Kelbaker Rd so it’s well packed.
Since you’re inside the Preserve, you can park anywhere as long as it’s already a traveled area and you’re not driving and destroying on pristine desert.
This side road entrance is really wide so cars who want to go on the dirt road to the cinder cones can still pass easily. This is a rare feature in the park. Usually dirt road spurs are one lane.
There are occasional cars flying by on Kelbaker Rd, but overall this spot is MUCH more quiet than the hard pack areas closer to 1-5 where you can feel the vibration from 1-5.
Strong Verizon reception with 2-4 bars.
Truthfully though, If you can make the drive, go on to Hole-In-The-Wall campground further south and pay the money to stay there. It’s lovely and super quiet.
Don’t forgot to visit the worlds most dense Joshua tree forest at the Teutonia Peak hike trailhead.
Also, get a fabulous date shake ( local honey and other goodies) at the Cima Shell gas station. They’re delicious 😍
