It’s about 11 miles from Baker. I stayed four days. There were no people for miles and miles until the third day.
Quite, peaceful, beautiful views, awesome sunsets.
Place was clean and it must have rained because I did not encounter any soft spots, which upon entering the turn out, thought there would be.
My site was close to the highway, but very few cars. I could have stayed for another four days really.
It’s very uneven, bumpy, etc, etc. but who cares when you have levelers and serene peace and quite.
Perfect spot.

First major bend in road from Baker, CA side of preserve has 2 nice spots for a truck, van or trailer RV under 25’. Gets tougher for RV after coming to first wash. After that only high clearance vehicle recommended. More spots down road starting at lava flows of Black Wash area.

About 15 minute drive east of Baker. Easy access for our 21 foot off road camper. Some areas of soft sand. Slightly sloping site with fire pit next to rock outcrop. Great sunrise and sunsets.

About 15 minute drive east of Baker. Easy access for our 21 foot off road camper. Some areas of soft sand. Slightly sloping site with fire pit next to rock outcrop. Great sunrise and sunsets. Very little trash when we arrived which we promptly picked up as we always do. Went out for a short excursion and when we arrived a couple hours later surprised to see that at least two of the sites had new “No Camping” signs. Do there are now about 2 designated sites left within about 1/4 mile from Kelbaker Road.

We were going to Las Vegas and found our area to stay overnight this was 10 miles from the highway, just a little bit of dirt road at the end (about half a mile), but we managed to do it with our class A, 32 foot long. Cell signal for T-Mobile is decent here 3 or sometimes 2 bars. No noise low wind fairly clean.

Got here right at sunset. There are several areas along the dirt road. We tucked in right behind a large rock mound. Great views and experience.

We pulled off the Kelbaker Road and headed for this location, which is ONLY about 1/2 mile in. It’s right next to the only (small at that) rock outcropping that is really near to the road. It was occupied, so we kept driving.
2-1/2 miles later, not having found a decent turnaround location, we tried turning around at an ‘iffy’ spot. Got stuck.
‘Enjoyed’ Camp Stuck for the night and got a $200 assist out in the morning from A-1 Towing (Baker CA). Good cell service saved our bacon.
Lesson: if rock outcrop location, 1/2 mile in, is unavailable, turnaround (it’s rocky enough right there to do so)...or back out to Kelbaker and look elsewhere.

Simply beautiful and easy to get to. Sand is soft but not too treacherous, but have yet to attempt this place with a trailer.

Great spot in Mojave National Preserve. Beautiful sunsets and lots of hiking reasonable nearby. Bees have been mentioned. Yes, there are thirsty bees. I enjoyed putting out a dish of water with some rocks in it so they could get a drink. I just put it 30 feet from my trailer. The road in is good, maybe a little soft in places, but nothing that will cause any issues. If you go more than 3/4 of a mile in, there are no places to turn around easily to backtrack, so be careful with that. I expect to stay here again when I'm in the area.
