Rugged terrain and a capable vehicle are the real entry requirements at Cow Mountain Rec Area Dispersed, a BLM-managed dispersed camping area west of campgrounds near Lakeport that draws off-road enthusiasts for its rock crawling obstacles. Amenities are minimal but functional: vault toilets and trash service are on-site, and alcohol is permitted. Come self-sufficient. Nearby options include Buckhorn Campground about 1.3 miles southeast for a more developed alternative.
