Blair/Little Blair Valley off of S2, heading South is wonderful for star gazing. 4-wheel drive vehicle is not necessary. Also three different short hikes off of the main road. Great spot for camping and it is a little cooler in that area (Shelter Valley). Culp Valley is another option with a primitive camping area. Pass through Ranchita on S-22 going towards Borrego Springs, right before mile marker 10 on the North side as you head down the hill. Good luck!
