Important Details
Summary
Dispersed camping and overlanding location in the mountains near Palm Springs, California offering elevated desert views across the Coachella Valley. The site sits along an exposed ridge with wide open scenery of the surrounding desert landscape and nearby mountain ranges, making it a scenic stop above the valley.
Access is via a dirt road climbing into the mountains outside Palm Springs, with several spots along the ridge to pull off and set up camp. The area is fairly exposed and can be windy, and many of the potential camping spots are not perfectly level. While the location sits near the highway, road noise is minimal, making it a surprisingly quiet place to spend the night while exploring the surrounding desert backroads.
