Lone Tree Dispersed Camping BLM

Great spot to stop for a work week. 15 to a planet fitness for showers and 10 minutes to Loves gas station for another shower option. The area is large and has plenty of room for all kinds of campers.

The area is right off the highway, but you can go far enough back to minimize any noise. There are plenty of level areas to park with fire rings. Not much privacy here. You can drive to the wash area for a bit more privacy. Lots of OHV during the day and people run their generators at all hours, but I didn't have any issue sleeping.

No services, pack in, pack out. Verizon service was good. There are a few areas to hike around here. Had a great hike to the top of the rocky hill near the back of the area. (If you want some areas that are less busy, there are 2 other BLM areas along the highway that don't get as busy).

It was just under 90°F at midnight and the ground was so rocky that sleeping was a challenge

Pros- large places to stop, 4 bars AT&T and Verizon. Close to town. Cons - although there is a sign clearing stating 14 day stay limit, there are many who are using this as a permanent camp. There is a man who has a motorcycle trailer for hi bike and a cargo trailer he is living in, and has been here for more than 30 days, and at least 10 others around the perimeter who have set up for a long haul and have made this area their home base. One guy in a Minnie Winnie has a lot blocked off with rocks preventing areas from being used and has been here for at least 30 days. Also, on the weekends there is a lot of 4 wheeler an side by side traffic (which is livable as they are polite). People don’t seem to even think that the BLM office could shut this area down, especially as they leave trash and waste behind them.
