The Glamis Washes

Wash 1 through Wash 24, along Gecko Road

The 24 numbered washes are camping areas along Gecko Road. Wash 1 is closest to the main entrance, Wash 15 is the halfway mark, and Wash 24 is at the far end. The first washes are the busiest. The further down Gecko you camp, the quieter it gets.

Every wash is in Glamis Guide, so you can find your wash, mark camp there and get a straight line back to it with no signal.
