The reviews were great so I went to check it out, but I forgot to look at the vehicles the reviewers were in. Bringing in a trailer of any kind would be arduous. Once inside the gate there's really only 3 spots, only 1 can realistically maneuver a trailer into. My truck alone took a beating from the washed out road and all the cacti/trees scratching it up. The largest spot is occupied by water troughs and cows, which means flies and cow pies. If you were to get in, the views are great, its right at the top of a pass, has lush vegetation, and in a 'dark sky' area.

Everything about this location was amazing! Yes, the road in is a little scratchy, so probably not the best for bigger rigs, but it was absolutely perfect for our van.
There is a really nice spot against rocks about a half-mile in which would accommodate a larger set-up, it was taken when we were there. Further up is perfect for tents and vans. There are two prime spots - on either side of rocks for privacy, but we were the only ones there camping for our whole stay. A few hikers came in on the weekend - and the hiking is great! - but didn’t see anyone else.
Good Verizon coverage. Great night skies and relatively quiet, you can hear the odd truck on the main road, but that road isn’t very busy.

Worth the 10 mile drive off the I-10 freeway. Paved road all the way and actually in way better shape than I-10. We are just boondoucking our way from TX to CA so this is a nice break from Walmart & rest areas.

As other’s have said, don’t bring a big rig into this area, it could end up being a problem with damage or maneuvering around. Our 24 foot fit nicely into a camp spot. Very scenic with the rocks and the landscape views. Just open the gate and be sure to close it as there are cattle in this area at the time we were here.

Saw one border patrol truck come through no big deal. Great hikes and views too.

I stopped overnight at the pullout on Hwy 80, on Nov 10, 2017. Lat/Long 32.0889,-108.9730. I did not go through any gates or down any dirt roads as the previous reviewer did. I was the only one there, but I was careful to park as far to the side as possible, so that another rig could pass me if necessary. It was a very peaceful night, there was very little traffic on Hwy 80. Had a beautiful view of the desert in the morning. I would definitely stay there again. (If you miss the pullout, continue into the valley a few miles and you will come to a ranch entrance with a large area to turn around. )

If solitude is your thing, Granite Gap provides... although only for smaller rigs. I towed in a fiberglass trailer and found a few areas large enough for my van and the trailer, but the weeds scratched both sides as I drove down the dirt road.
