I drove by last weekend and thought about you going for the first time. Where do you plan on camping? There are really two areas, Jawbone Canyon and Dove Springs. In Jawbone you're pretty limited to camping in the canyon proper and a lot of it is sandwash. In Dove Springs there are many more camping opportunities, all desert pull offs. I think there are more trails close by if you camp at Dove Springs. But as I said I avoid this all together as its not much fun on two wheels anymore.
