Shea Road BLM Dispersed

Such a beautiful dispersed campsite!! We drove 6 miles in, in our 43-foot motorhome. (We chose this spot bc we wanted to drive the UTV to the Desert Bar--that's a diff story, but well worth the trip!) If in a larger rig, go slow and you'll be fine. I joked with Kevin that he had to drive like a drunken sailor down the road (very little traffic) to avoid the potholes and, 3-4 miles in, the left side of the paved road is crumbling away with a foot or so drop off! Very stunning scenery, UTV trail right at our doorstep (a few drove through on our 4-day stay) & gave friendly waves. Our site was 6 miles in, left side of the road. You might see in the video a black trash bag behind the RV --I always try to leave no trace plus clean up any trash left behind by others, so that was my collection to take & dispose of. Parker has a nice little ice cream shop, a hardware store, a Wal Mart. We didn't have time to explore thoroughly.

Tons of campers. I headed out on the road toward the coordinates but ended up camping about 4 miles before even getting to them. Maybe it gets more secluded? Once I lost cell service I turned back to find a spot within range, given that there were so many campers I didn’t feel totally safe and there was nowhere to have unseen privacy. Big groups and ATVs set up with really loud music but everyone observed quiet hours and the ambiance ended up being entertaining.

This is a really nice area with lots of available spots . Decent number of campers for a rainy Monday in mid January but still plenty of spots open. Not super remote. Had two bars of ATT service was able to stream movies. We were about 75 yards from the next camper which was a little close and I think that’s gonna be the norm at this location.

Camping here was awesome! It was very quiet and secluded and the stars in the evening were amazing!

You can stop earlier than this just be cautious about the no camping signs. I went back to the empty tanks area and then went in from there. You can get stuck in some sand but if you stay in more gravel area you should be fine. Did see some coyotes so be careful with small animals during the night. ATT 4G 2 bars. A lot of fire rings and not very busy!
