desert camping
Sandy wilderness sleeping
Desert camping is spending nights outdoors in arid, sparsely vegetated regions.
It requires preparation for extreme temperature swings—scorching days and frigid nights—and awareness of limited water sources.
We did some desert camping in Joshua Tree last spring.
The isolation and stark landscapes attract those seeking solitude or dramatic scenery.
