About Campground

The Ernst Tinaja primitive roadside campsite (ET-1) can accommodate up to two vehicles, 10 people, no horses.

Primitive sites offer nice views, solitude, and a small flat gravel space to set up camp next to your vehicle. No shade, toilets, or other amenities are provided.

The use of generators is prohibited in the backcountry.

Given the trails close proximity to this campsite, do not leave valuables unattended for long periods of time. Expect frequent passing vehicles.

Please leave no trace - pack in pack out.

Directions

The Old Ore Road is rough and rocky. It is maintained for high clearance vehicles only. Following rains and heavy use, the road becomes extremely rutted and requires 4-wheel drive. Past the Ernst Tinaja campsite, the Old Ore Road becomes roughter. Always ask a park ranger for current road conditions.

Ernst Tinaja 1 (ET-1) is located near the southern end of Old Ore Road, 4.5 miles north of the paved road. A short, 0.2 mile access road leads to ET-1. A short distance beyond the site is the trailhead to Ernst Tinaja, an interesting geologic feature.
