There are a few spots and you don't have to travel too far in to find any spaces.
There are a lot of kangaroo rats here. And I did see lots of Northern Rough-winged Swallows.
You can hear the road noise but that didn't bother me.

We really enjoyed this spot. Plenty of level sites nicely spread out, very scenic, fun hiking in the surrounding hills, no road noise if you go in a ways. We would have liked another day or two to just relax in the quiet but needed to push on towards home.

Snaggletooth is the name given by the BLM for the way the rocky hills look like jagged teeth. It's just one of many campsites and features found within the greater "Heart of the Mojave" region of the Mojave Desert. We stayed here as an overnight stop.
When you get here, you'll see a large pull off by the side of US-95 where trucks tend to stay. But if you take the dirt road into the desert you'll find several areas to park and set up camp. Verizon 4G comes pretty well here, 4-5 bars. You could stay as long as 14-days. You're only about 1/2 hour away from Needles to the north, and about 15 minutes from Vidal Junction to the south.
There's a fair amount of garbage laying around the large pull off by the side of the road, but as you travel down the dirt road, you see only minimal trash. As you venture further down the dirt road, it gets more bumpy and rocky.

Stayed here the last couple nights, only went to the back of the pull-off section on the road though. Was still quiet enough even with the cars driving past. Scoped out the road leading farther back and it is fairly rutted with dips leading into the pull-off areas. Saw an SUV tent camping about half a mile back. Quite a bit of trash all around, that was slightly disappointing. Would definitely stay here again however.

Right off the highway you’ll see a big dirt section you can park in or drive a little farther back and pick one of the little turnarounds to park by. We arrived right before sunset. Easy to see the turnoff from the highway. Drove back about 100 yards and found a great spot. One semi and one full size rv parked but lots of space so still private. A little highway noise but nothing crazy. Very very beautiful, especially as the sun was setting.

We stayed one night in a 36' Class A with toad and a 41' 5ver. There was plenty of room to get off the highway and circle around for a good position. There was a bit of broken glass around, but not too bad. There appeared to be road going deeper into the desert with more dispersed camping beyond, but we just stayed in the large pull-out for overnight. The traffic noise wasn't bad after dark, and we didn't even hear the semi that pulled off the road near us at some point in the night. This is a great stop if you just need to rest.

There's another BLM "Heart of the Mojave" sign on the north side of old Route 66, west of Amboy, CA. It seems like the area must stretch west from the Colorado River along the south side of the Mojave Preserve.

[So is the Mojave Preserve not the heart of the Mojave? ;) ] The road at the time was rather sandy/gravely and soft in patches. I managed to not get bogged down.

We prefer to keep our driving to <300 miles/day so a stop was in order on our way to Phoenix. This BLM dispersed camping area was perfect for a 1 night stay. Using the GPS coordinates listed we found a narrow dusty road to the right. The road heads toward a draw that appears to go down to the valley below. We saw a good-sized 5th wheel about 3/4 mile from the road so we felt safe proceeding. The road has experienced some rutting due to the extreme amount of rain that's fallen this winter. Also the road was firm but would likely be very slick mud in the rain. We carefully drove through a few small "washouts" and found several nice large desert gravel sites with campfire rings about 1/3 to 1/2 mile from the road. There was some minor road noise while outdoors but we couldn't hear it once inside.
The desert is very green right now because of the rain and the sites have a nice view of the valley below. As a bonus, we had 3-4 bars of Verizon 4g service.
