⛺ Experience Summary

Electric hookups are available, though water and sewer are shared — a good balance of convenience and simplicity. The open desert landscape offers dramatic skies and minimal light pollution — stargazing here can be exceptional. Cell service is likely limited out here — consider it a built-in reason to properly unplug.
