Wiley's Well Campground Introduce

Wiley's Well Campground, located in California, is a destination within the Campgrounds & RV Parks category, offering a unique desert camping experience. Reviews highlight its appeal for those seeking to explore the California desert.

The campground is described as an "epic" location, suggesting a memorable experience for visitors. However, access to the campground varies depending on the route taken. Entering from Rt. 78 through the Mule Mountains is strongly advised for 4x4 vehicles only, due to sandy and loose gravel terrain, as well as washes that can lead to vehicles becoming high-centered. Access from I-10 is considered a better option for 2-wheel drive vehicles.

Key features and considerations include:

Desert camping environment.
Access via Rt. 78 recommended for 4x4 vehicles only.
Access via I-10 suitable for 2-wheel drive vehicles.
Opportunity for desert exploration.
Well-kept location.
Terrain includes sandy and loose gravel areas.

Wiley's Well Campground offers a great opportunity for desert exploration, but it's crucial to consider the access route based on your vehicle type. It's a well-regarded location for those wanting to immerse themselves in the California desert landscape.

Went into Mule Mountains from Rt. 78, definitely not for anything but 4x4. Can be sandy or loose gravel through washes and high centered. Entering Wiley's Well Rd. from I-10 is better option for 2 wheel drive.

LTVA. Long Term Visitors Area. West of Quartzsite off I-10 about an hour with last 8 miles a dirt road. Seasonal from 9/15 to 4/15. Fire pits, covered picnic tables, garbge containers and pit toilets. No potable water. Beautiful place if you like the far out Van life. Also has a small trading library and a no water dump site nearby.

well kept and wonderful off the beaten track camp ground with a very lovely, social community of long term campers meeting up each day at 3 pm for happy hour. the camp host is the lovely soul of this place that offers shade, a little water and everything from humming birds to tarantulas and rattle snakes (though i only got the latter as rumors)

A quiet spot. A 4x4 is NOT needed to get here. There are bathrooms and tables at each site. There are long term residents and it's about $180 for 6 moths here. Good for RVs. Connects to a lot of off reading trails.
