We planned our trip for April 23-25th and it was a nice time to go. It was a bit hot out during the day but didn’t surpass mid 90’s. And the evening was really nice, It was nice and cool, you’ll only need like one blanket.
Beware of high winds here and there. Especially in the evenings, our tent stayed put with extra stakes and ties but canopies and porta potty tents would’ve flown if we didn’t sand bag and weigh them down with rocks that were laying around.
4x4 is highly recommend if your gonna pull off the side of the road to camp. The sand is really loose and very easy to sink into. I also recommend bringing a rake to flatted out the sand and remove any large rocks before pitching your tent.
There are also a couple hikes to do, like the painted Canyon ladder trail. (This hike is definitely NOT Recommended for dogs) we tried to bring our fur babies along and we did get past the first couple ladders but found it way too difficult to continue. But over all the hike was beautiful.
Also plan on “Fox proofing” your camp site area, there are the cutest little foxes that WILL attempt to get into your things in the evening.
But over all I highly recommend this spot! It’s a perfect, chill, secluded space to camp with friends, pets & family.
