Heading to Dove springs for easter. Got a few ??'s

[ChaseThisToo]

I'm heading up to dove springs for Easter. I'm not very familiar with the area.

Does anyone know of a good area to camp? It also needs to accomidate a 40' bus. My dads has a 40' pusher and it doesn't have to much ground clearance so I need a place that will be easy to get in and out in that thing.

Does anyone have any trails they can recommend? We will have buggies as well as rhinos so nothing too tight.

Thanks for everyones help!

I recomend a Friends of Jawbone map. It shows everything. Friends of Jawbone - New 7th Edition Friends of Jawbone map now available! (http://www.jawbone.org/foj/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=93&Itemid=1)

There are lots of good places to park. I dont know how busy it will be for easter though. Just make sure you stay on marked trails the Rangers like to write tickets out there. They will come through camp and check green stickers,

Take the Dove Springs Rd turnoff of Hwy 14 just 9 miles north of Jawbone Canyon Rd. Take the second right, cross over the cattle guard. Camp anywhere along this road.
More camping can be found in Dove Springs Canyon at 35°25'32.86"N 118° 0'58.06"W but expect it to be crowded

This is the kind of camping area to expect.

As far as rides, first timers have to do the Mciver Cabin trail and also the ride to Burro Schmidt tunnel. You can even ride to Randsburg.
