Barstow, CA - BLM Owl Canyon Campground

For the folks who like to off road a bit, there is the Inscription Canyon area, just north of the Opal Mtn trail. Lots of neat petroglyphs, pictographs, and a neat spot called "Scouts Cove". The scouts cove thing is a cave in the rocks that is open for camping as a primitive site way out in the desert, above Hinkley Dry Lake. If you need hookups, or facilities, go to Calico Ghost town. Only real campers, who are pretty confident camp at Owl Canyon, as when it rains, or the wind howls, ( most of time it howls for an hour every day)it can be a place you want to be in some kind of protection. ALSO...stay off of the dry lakes after a rain!!
The mud is very caustic to both metal rims, and to sheet metal! Not to mention if you get stuck.....well they do charge an arm or or your first born, and a down payment....
