If you find yourself traveling through the Mojave along the 15 between L.A. and Vegas, do yourself a favor and stop off at this little gem of a campground. Located in Afton Canyon, this BLM Campground offers plenty of level sites, compete with concrete picnic tables, fire pits and charcoal grills. There are also pit toilets. The drive in is a bumpy dirt road about 3 miles off of the 15 along Afton Creek Rd. It was more suitable for all-wheel drive cars (esp when wet I imagine), but we saw everything from a Prius to a Class C motor home. We came in at night and found it almost empty, which was a nice change of pace. We went to sleep listening to coyotes howl in the distance. There is also the occasional train that comes through on the adjacent tracks, but it is more melodic than disturbing. The morning brought a riot of colors from the surrounding cliff faces and quickly warmed the cool desert morning. This is one of the few places the Mojave River runs above ground, so the place is teeming with birds and other wildlife. Definitely worth the stop.
