Anybody?
try this website Los Pretots homepage and look at the links. Maps are available at the ranger stations and stores. Hope that helps.
I was just there last weekend and had a great time. The conditions and weather were perfect.
It will be very crowded on the Holiday weekend. Be careful. There are ample opportunities for head on collisions in some washes.
Visit Tony Motta's store and repair shop across from the airport if you need anything. Tony is a Baja veteran and all around good guy. He can also provide out oif the way "knuckle head free" camping at his place up Split Rock rd.

Hidden Valley Camp is the first one in of size from Brawley.
Camping in the wash east of the Ranger Station is the first when coming from the Beach Cities.

go to the dezertrangers website. They have whole videos of their trucks and bike riding in ocotillo. Its a great place for a bike or truck, its less crazyness than glamis.
I haven't been there since about Feburary, but from what I hear its starting to get a little more crowded then the past, especially on the big weekends. Just be safe out there and watch for traffic in the main roads and washes.
