Always stop here on the way into the preserve to get the latest news on conditions. The Rangers are amazing, the gift shop is cool. Would love it if they displayed art or had a small museum inside to look around in.

Every campsite in the place offers great views, lots of space, level sites, The info center is an easy 1/2 mile walk from the campground. Several trails emanate from here.

The information center is small, rangers are friendly and they have 2 real bathrooms out here in the middle of nowhere. But the real reason for the 5 star rating is the Rings Trail. Very short at only a mile or two but lots of fun and slightly challenging. Do the trail clockwise to climb the two ring sections or reverse it to go down. Or another option for a quicker in and out you can drive just past the Information Center there is an another parking lot close to the rock/ring section. Definitely worth the stop if you’re exploring the Mojave National Preserve. Also stop by the lava tubes and the dunes while you are here. Important note - Rings trail not marked really well, lots of folks complain they had some difficulty following the trail you should use an app to help follow. I used a Alltrails offline map and it was very helpful keeping us on the trail.

This is not a national park, but a preserve where you may see cattle ranches and mining operations in full swing. If you are planning to visit, be prepared l. This place is seriously in the middle of nowhere. Other than visitor center and campground there is nothing here. Do not go during summer time.

Amazing hike! I couldnt find the Hole in the wall trailhead (left of the visitors center) so I did the Barber Peak Loop Trail (6 miles). Super long and so parts don’t have a marker. I kept going straight and stayed “close” to the rocks. I saw cows on the trail and you can also bring horses. On my way back I almost took the hoop trail back but I went into the canyon instead. Great hike took me about 2.5 hours
