Located 17 miles east of Lancaster on 170th Street East, between East Avenue J and East Avenue K. From Highway 14, take the Avenue K exit and go east to 170th street East. Turn left, and the campground entrance is shortly on the right; the day-use area is 1 mile further down at Avenue J. From Highway 15, take Highway 138 west, and turn right on 165th Street East. It curves around and becomes 170th, continue on 170th to East Avenue K and J.
Not tons of parking which is actually good in a way. Staff in the visitor center were nice and helpful. One of the other members of my hiking group said one of the rangers was rude. That's why 4 not 5. I wonder if they have to deal with a lot of drama and trash dumps like the rest of the desert 😒 DON'T TRASH OUR WORLD!
Always a safe space to come back to. There's a bathroom but no shower and you have access to water too. Rangers are pretty chill too, one of the best campgrounds we experienced. We love the shade that most campsites have. I recommend!
Wonderful. Was there from noon till sundown on 11/28/23 hiking to the top of the butte. Incredible views from the top are well worth the strenuous hike. Beautiful vegetation all along the trail.
Fun little day trip. My son and I walked the trail, theres a brochure at the top by visitor center with numbers attached to info corresponding to numbered poles on the trail.
went here oct 1. great place and trail is very wheelchair friendly. there is a paved loop trail which also has benches. the loop trail starts unpaved but becomes paved around trail marker 5. the visitor center is very educational but less accessible (there are stairs to get in)
go here in spring or fall- if you are expecting wildflowers, go in april or may
