Great stop. Better than the campground. And you can still use the campground dump because it is before you get to the NP entrance.

Roads into the dry lake area are ribbon roads and some ruts. We have a 35 ft 5th wheel and it did fine(just drove slowly) , we were here the middle of the week and it was quiet. Great views in all directions! It芒鈧劉s a huge area and plenty of space for all!

Just a big beautiful open space with lots of space. And it芒鈧劉s free, we found it clean and not very busy. Would definitely come back.
Absolutely no services. Pretty good access.

Little used in Feb. 2019. We stayed two nights. Most vehicles were fairly close to the north side of the solar farm, or near the NW corner of the solar farm. Going further east or northeast would have been difficult and risky even with 4-wheel drive, due to recent rains making the ground and the dirt roadways soft and muddy. There was a 50/50 mix of more permanent looking campers and short term campers, when we visited. Nights were very quiet.

I rate it for what it is, a free place to park that芒鈧劉s five minutes from Joshua tree. We stayed here one night, the stars were beautiful, we stayed a bit too close to a 芒鈧搑oad芒鈧 that went out to supposedly great atv芒鈧劉ing because they were driving by all night! Really that was our mistake, we are in a 38芒鈧劉 bus, so it was a little tricky to get around. A great place to stay if you are just passing through

The description in the app is a bit misleading. This is not a campground. There are no toilets. Instead, it's an amazing wide open space the likes of which don't exist in many places in the U.S. Thank you BLM. The good: vistas, freedom, mostly level!!! free. The bad: weekends can be a little crazy. Dirt bikes, bottle rockets, raves. But the place is so huge that you mostly won't notice. Pooping in a cat hole (BLM reccomends 6-8 inches) can be a very freeing experience. Just be sure to take your toilet paper with you and cover your tracks well for the next person.

Vast empty dirt area. A welcome option for free when the national park campgrounds were all full. We were thankful to have a quiet and legal place to park overnight.

Best way in is go North on Sunfair Rd about 10 miles west of 29 Palms on HWY 62. Go a couple of miles then turn right on Broadway for a mile. Pavement ends, continue straight and pick a spot. Our closest RV is over 1/4 mile away! Very handy to visit Joshua Tree Park. 29 Palms has all the services you will need.
