Singing sand dunes, volcanic cinder cones, Joshua tree forests, and carpets of wildflowers are all found at this 1.6 million acre park. A visit to its canyons, mountains and mesas will reveal long-abandoned mines, homesteads, and rock-walled military outposts. Located between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Mojave provides serenity and solitude from the crowds of major metropolitan areas.

A few primitive sites in this area as well as a couple of campgrounds. Stop in at the visitor center for more specific directions, trail maps etc.

Online maps located here: http://www.nps.gov/moja/planyourvisit/maps.htm

One Comment about “Mojave National Preserve”

  1. David Attwood says:

    Didn’t find the rangers very helpful. Teutonia Peak site awkward to get in to and wouldn’t recommend for large vehicles. Our 21 foot was no problem. Good site with fire rings when you get in behind a large rock. Camping in Mojave is very restricted which is odd when you consider the size of it
