Dispersed and Primitive Camping

UPDATE: Dec. 26, 2017
The road was almost completely washed out during the summer of 2016.

I have been going there every summer since 1975 and have never ever seen it this bad. We skipped the year it happened, thinking they(NPS) would at least make it somewhat passable in the years time... NOPE! We were in a raised dodge PU with big tires when we went down in October 2017 and went just a little bit to far thinking we 'knew' the road, that it would widen up and firm up... WRONG! There are a few boulders that are the size of a VW bug we had to squeeze between, they now have white paint on both of them.

Wouldn't recommend anything other than an a very capable 4X4 with a even more capable driver and in summer it would be wise not to go alone.

It's really very sad, because it changed so much, then with Lake Mead being so low, you never recognize it. It's hard to believe that we used to drive our 1975 29ft Winnebago down there towing a 16ft ski boat and park it 20 feet from the water.. and now you have to walk/climb about 200 yards to reach the shore.

Greg's Hideout is no different, maybe
a little bit more subdued.

There was nobody else out here, so we
had complete privacy. It is a small, barren
camp area and could get crowded. There
are firepits from previous campers. Campfires
are allowed... which is more unusual these
days, but there is nothing to catch fire,
no trees and very limited brush or grass.

It can get windy with the canyons acting

ROAD CONDITIONS:
Rough dirt roads with washboards
The last 1 1/2 miles of road to Greg's Hideout
is downhill and sandy. It shouldn't be a problem,
except in bad weather... and even if you did get
bogged down in the sand, it is downhill and should
be easy enough to push it out... least that what we
figured, but what do we know. Make your own
judgment, but once you start down the hill it can
be hard to turn around, so you will be committed.
RVs not recommended.

TEMPLE BAR BACK ROAD
Temple Bar Back Road #134 has limited
pullout and hiding spots. There are possible
dispersed camping sites. The road is narrow with
washes and loose sand areas. We drove
this road twice, but probably won't risk
it again without a 4x4.

SALT SPRINGS
This road was too rough with our bad shocks.
Salt Springs is 4 miles on Road #135

WHITE HILLS
This road was too rough with our bad shocks.
We couldn't see the White Hills from the junction
of Temple Bar Back Road.
