I haven't heard that the road up there is open yet; that would be nice. I'll also add that the lower loop of Texas Springs is tents, and is usually fairly quiet due to the hills around it. I can usually get a spot before 1 pm, but I'll go earlier because there are ones I prefer. The upper loop is entirely different, easier to get into but basically a gravel parking lot. I'll be out there early March; if you see a white van with Nebraska plates, come say hi. I would be interested in what you've done to your van for camping.
Oh, and welcome to the forum!
Yes I like the idea of a quiet campsite. I may check out Texas Springs --- I will look for you if I go there. The way you describe it sounds familiar -- it's been a long time but I believe I camped there in the late 1980s or early 1990s. I expect to be in the area starting about March 4 or 5. I've been tinkering with my van setup for a couple years but I'm getting closer to done. It's not a high-tech van conversion, but has the basics and I'm enjoying the setup. I just was in Anza-Borrego desert last month for a few days and that was a really nice trip. I like the free primitive camps there.
