A basic dispersed camping spot with two sites 1.5 miles off-highway, offering quiet solitude and good stargazing. Several visitors noted free-roaming cattle and some mentioned concerns about rattlesnakes.

Okay for an overnight in a 20 ft or less rig

Not too far off the main road, but far enough that you can only barely hear large trucks.

Spots are close together and not big.

Stone fire ring at each site.

Views are of hills.

Att 4G, 1 sometimes 2 bars

Good for an overnight on way to or from Vegas Area

Perfect for stargazing

So alone and far away from the electricity so amazing stargazing spot. Happened to be in the heavy rain but otherwise, it was very quiet and peaceful place.

Not for a big rig

With all the resent rain the 2nd spot to camp the road has washed out a bit….very uneven ground. We decided to head back toward the highway to see if the spot closer to the road would be better

Good place to sleep not much around

Very basic. Spots to pull over, make fire, sleep and leave. Dirt rd. Easy to maneuver.

Beautiful and wild

We loved it here, stayed the one night to break up the journey. The directions are great, and there are two sites here, we stayed in the second. It was nice and level. The views were beautiful, and having all the space and quiet to ourselves was magical. Didn't see any snakes or other critters.

Western Diamondback Rattlesnake

Seems like a beautiful setting but we ran into a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake within feet of the campsite. They are aggressive and fatal. We left to go find somewhere else. Be careful.

Perfect for a quick overnight stay

The two spots are about 1.5 miles off the highway on a dirt road, you'll see a spot off the right on a narrow trail. BLM property. Free-roaming cows, didn't bother us at all. Beautiful sunset on our nights stay. The second spot is just around the first corner after the first one, less used, but probably flatter. Could hear the highway, but wasn't bothersome.

Pull off spot

Great little pull off camp spot. I wouldn’t spend more than one night here. The cows are super cute to wake up to. I didn’t smell them at all. The road is a little washboard and there aren’t a lot of good turn around spots. Overall very happy with the spot. It was quiet and perfect for a road trip camp spot.

Beautiful remote spot

Gave only 3 stars due to sketchy cell (AT&T) and no internet. Only 2 spots, but there was a fire ring and free roaming cows. Great for an overnight stay.
