Sunstone Collection Area

Wonderful excursion! It's very remote, you'll feel like you're driving off the face of the earth to get there, but once you arrive the view will take your breath away before you even start rockhounding!

Wonderful excursion! It's very remote, you'll feel like you're driving off the face of the earth to get there, but once you arrive the view will take your breath away before you even start rockhounding! The sunset splashing across the bluffs twn miles to the southeast has to be seen to be believed. The main camping area has a handful of tent pads and plenty of room for RVs and vans, with easy access to a vault toilet, but if it's full up don't despair, the site is enormous and there are dispersed camping spots throughout. I wound up parked just a few dozen yards away from the main parking area, within easy walking distance of the toilet. There are fire rings, but you'll have to bring wood, there's very little to burn out there.

Loved the tent sites and the covered areas. Enjoyed awesome views in the morning. The drive is much longer than you think it is. Definitely wouldn't work in something like a Prius, we were in a Subaru Forester and still had to drive carefully in some spots. No garbage dump of any kind onsite, we drove ours out to the rest stop along the main highway. Plenty of stones around the camp area if you do... Loved the tent sites and the covered areas.

Great place to collect Sunstones. They are on the surface and we found sunstones, big ones on the ground, no digging required. I do want to make everyone aware that having good, well maintained, tires is a must. We have 10 ply Ironman mud tires so we were ok. There are zero services out here. No cell coverage, no am/fm radio stations, nothing, desolate and alone. Come prepared as if you were to h... Great place to collect Sunstones.

Come prepared as if you were to have to spend a night in your vehicle if something happens. Bring water, canopy, chairs, food, etc... Pack it in & pack it out, leave no trace. You'll have an amazing time by coming prepared. Check weather forecasts as thunderstorms are no joke out here.
