This is a peaceful place to have a great sunset view and dry camp when it isn’t too hot, for an RV. Just need to have rangers check quiet hours more…cars coming in after 11pm and burning fires when high wind.

Beautiful campsite with wonderful weather, even in the summer. We were the only ones at the site and everything was clean and tidy. Lots of wildlife! No scorpions that we could find but lots of kangaroo mice and tarantulas! Reception was spotty (as to be expected). Check the weather before coming for high winds or rain storms as there is really no shade and the terrain makes it difficult to stake down tents.

Family enjoyed our night at Hole-in the Wall Campground. While we were there it was hot as our stay was late June. The breeze was consistent; the night sky was amazing with no lights around us. Be sure to check the map on the way in. Our GPS sent us the "shortest" rout which meant more unpaved roads. We could have enter a few miles later and been on much better roads. I would do that again even in the heat.

Summer temperatures in the day were around 100F, but as soon as the sun set it quickly cooled off. It was a very pleasant visit in June.

I went in June so it was empty except for 2 RV’s coming in late at night. Just the way I like it. I did go for a hike but could not find the rings. No one was at the office. Maybe more signage directions. It was still a beautiful hike around the area. Thought sleeping in my Mazda CX5 would be okay. It’s not due to the stuffiness and I could not open the windows as there were not just moths but also mosquito. Better planning on my part but a wonderful campsite.
