Something not right?

Description

A small network of gravel roads off of the 169. Close to the Poverty Flats, but less crowded. There is a sign which reccomends 4x4 just after you turn. I drove this road in 2WD and there are various RVs parked pretty far down these roads. 5G ATT signal. Ample amount of spots and even space for some large (2-3) RV groups.
This spot is beautiful and has nice views, but it is very open. Privacy isn't the greatest, but everyone is quite spread out. Fifteen minutes from Valley of Fire State Park and Lake Mead National Recreation Area. There are various fire pits, but many have been kicked in or destroyed.
At the moment, while the majority of Nevada has no fire restrictions, the southern area does. This area has not seen rainfall since April 2020 and fires are currently prohibited.

Latest Check-Ins

Stayed here in March and again in April. No issues with 2WD mid clearance promaster. Lots of spaces, beautiful views, but can get windy.

Report Check-In

Don't let the "4x4 recommended" sign scare you. There's solid ground and smooth roads for about a mile in from the main highway. It's less crowded than Poverty Flats. FYI the 1st fork to the right will dead end at a gate. Unless you're in an OHV I wouldn't go past this gate (I walked it). However, the 1st fork to the left has a LOT of spots for setting up camp, along with rock fire rings. Great cell service. Watch the weather as it can get pretty windy here.
