A bare bones campground in a bare bones environment. You're in the desert, people, and despite what the business men of Las Vegas or Palm Springs would have you believe, humans aren't exactly adapted to live out here. So, for $10 a car per night, you get the basics, and that's all.
- Drive in or walk in sites
- Vault toilets
- Potable water
Since it's the open desert, you're not exactly tucked in away from the neighbors, but rather clustered together, sorta like a very miniature and far less creative burning man camp. Be prepared for some chilly nights if it's not summertime, exacerbated by 50-60 mile an hour night-time winds.
This is a popular camping spot for people visiting Red Rock Canyon - especially among the climbing and hiking sets. Pretty friendly and mellow lot when I was there. Those in desperate need of a shower must drive down Charleston a ways to pay for showers at the climbing gym.
So, as long as you're not expecting rolling soft grass, steamy showers, and a martini shack, this place will do just fine. Afterall, you are supposed to be roughing it, right?
