we park way out by ourselves at glamis t day we had a a group pull up about a 100 ft away,the nearest group was atleast a 1/4 mile away.They had every right to it we were just hoping they wont complain about us staying up late still makin noise,etc.They never did and we werent that bad either.
As for the desert when i go to a remote spot i may get withing a 100-200 yards of another if its a regular camping spot(flat clearing where most camp anyways) and dont mind if others do the same.esp if we are the only ones there here safety in numbers can overrule but within 10ft thats a lil close.
