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.
Beautiful quiet place in the rocky Mojave desert. Lots of spots and many fire rings. May be popular on the weekends...
Fairly easy to reach for a 4x4 from the north from Hwy 62.
There's another great spot about 2km south of here at a temporary rain catch at 34.0043165, -115.7114581. That's how far you'll get easily. To continue down into the Joshua Tree National Park from there it's a very steep and narrow descent with lots of big boulders on the trail. Rock crawling. Be very cautious. 4x4, low range and as much clearance as you can!
We came from the park off Pinto Basin Rd. The first 19km going north on Old Dale Rd are fairly easy through the wash, sandy in places and muddy where you cross the main wash. A little before getting to the park boundary it becomes steep up and narrow with boulders and rocks on the trail. Aired down, slow and steady with diff locked wins this part. A few camp spots there in the transition from the low Colorado Desert to the high Mojave Desert. Once you're over the climb, the trail becomes much better again and there may be some traffic. Mining seems to still be going on outside the park.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.

The road is sandy. I couldn't ride very far on this road and stop almost at the beginning (on mile after).
But I spend a nice and quiet night, nobody come to disturb me and traffic is non existant at night.
