§ 02 — OVERVIEW
The Hackberry Fire swept through the Mid Hills area in June 2005, burning much of the vegetation. About half of the 26 campsites were left unburned and remain surrounded by pinyon pine and juniper trees.
At 5,600 feet in elevation, Mid Hills is much cooler than the desert floor below. The access road is unpaved and not recommended for large motorhomes or trailers. Water is not available at this campground.

Weather Notes
At 5,600 feet in elevation, Mid-Hills provides a much-needed respite for visitors in the hot summer months. Late summer can bring strong monsoonal storms that can make access roads hazardous or inaccessible. Fall brings cooler temperatures and marks the start of hunting season. Winter commonly means freezing temperatures, and snow is often seen at this location. Spring is pleasant, with warm days and cooler evening temperatures. Wildflowers are generally seen later in spring than in lower elevation areas.
