Since this thread came back to life, I'll mention that you can camp pretty much anywhere that isn't in the middle of a road. It's nearly all legal. I ended up spending 3 days and 2 nights exploring the westernmost side of the Mojave Road between Afton Canyon and Soda Lake as well as out to Baker in the North and all the way down to Ludlow loosely via Crucero Rd/Broadwell Wash in the south. So many side canyons and old mines to explore. I went last Fall (end of Sept) and was devoured by voracious female horse flies (DO NOT WEAR BLACK - THEY LOVE IT) and covered with bites from No-see-ums (exposed skin - I was wearing t shirt and shorts the whole time). The water crossings were low. I am going back this fall as well. The Rasor Dunes can be fun if you air down. I am into rock hounding and going to visit some public claims near the Cady Mtns for flourite crystals (blue, green) and way-out-there camping. I'm not a real 'gun guy' but def bringing a shotty for peace of mind being older and solo. I would never hurt an animal but the packs of Coyotes that were, uh, vocalizing at me at night was pretty chilling! LOL I love the desert. Can't wait to get back.

I might be driving out to Vegas late, late this year. Really hoping I can get out here then.
