We spent an entire week parked on the dried out lake bed at the foot of the Silurian Hills near Baker, California. For now, this is our favorite BLM site. It was early December, and it wasn’t too hot during the day, but got quite chilly at night. We also experienced few days of strong winds. Before coming here we spent a night at the Isabella Lake RV Park, so we arrived with a full tank of fresh water and empty waste tanks.
If you want peace, quiet, a lot of space, beautify sunsets and sunsets, and like the desert, then you have to check out this site. It’s free, there are no hook-ups, but we did have great reception and mobile data.
The nearby town, Baker, has probably seen better days. We looked for groceries but weren’t able to find a grocery store. There are plenty of places to get diesel fuel, and we filled up our propane tank at the Shell.
Would we come back? Absolutely, we will be back!
We walked a bit into the Silurian Hills, and this is one of the amazing views.
We spent hours admiring the sky and chatting by the fire.

Leanne - if you haven’t found freecampsites.net yet, check it out! It’s a website I can search for places to stay in your RV, often BLM land. My husband and I used it when we converted our Honda CRV to a camper van and travelled through Utah and Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado. I highly recommend. Usually sites have pictures and reviews.
Yikes! We had an issue with comments and I'm just getting to yours. Sorry! YES we love that site. I wish they had an app... that would make life so so much easier.
