About
It's best to use a roadside site that has nice views, solitude and a small flat gravel space to set up camp. There are no shade, toilets or other amenities. The campsite is located across from the Elephant Tusk Trailhead and is not allowed to use generators. It is easier to get to this site from the south along the River Road than it is from the north. There is no shade at this campsite. There is gravel ground cover with sparse creosote and lechuguilla.
