"The Pads"

This spot has a ton of abandoned flat concrete pads, mostly level and mostly accessible. On some of them the surrounding dirt has washed away so it's a big drop from the pad to the ground, and some have begun to lean and are no longer level.

The area isn't beautiful or amazing but this makes for a good staging area for Death Valley, or for an overnight en route to your destination. There isn't much to do right in this camp area, but it's peaceful and quiet and a good resting spot.

Zero cell service in this area with Verizon and ATT.

Easy access from Hwy 190, and there is plenty of room to spread out. There were 4 other campers when we stayed here mid week in early April and we were all nicely spaced from each other.

Wind picked up in the afternoon and lasted all night and all the next morning, and the weather was warm but not brutally hot, but you have no relief from the sun here. We had to keep the windows closed overnight because the wind felt like it was going to break our windows off, so it got a little warm in the RV overnight.

No amenities whatsoever so please pack out all your waste and dog and human poo. We were pleasantly surprised at how little garbage there was here.
