Antelope Mountain Dispersed Camp

This free dispersed camping area on Bureau of Land Management land requires navigating rough access roads to reach potential sites. Campers can drive in, hike in, or walk to various spots scattered across the terrain, though finding level ground proves challenging according to recent visitors. One sheltered area with tall trees and level sites exists, but competition for this prime spot runs high.

The rough roads and uneven terrain at most locations make site selection critical for a comfortable stay. Campers planning extended trips in the region can explore additional campgrounds near Susanville for comparison. Cell service reaches the area, and both campfires and pets are permitted throughout the dispersed camping zone.

One good area

We only found one good area and it already had 2 people at it. It had level sites and nice tall trees. It also tucked in out of the wind. We some for other sites but they were windy, rough road to reach them, and not level so we moved on
