Durfield Dispersed Camping

The best time to visit Durfield dispersed camping is from May through November, as the area is closed December through April. Summer months offer reliable weather but expect dusty conditions at the campsites. Late spring and early fall typically provide more comfortable temperatures and potentially less dust. Be prepared for freely wandering cattle in the area during the open season. For the best experience with minimal crowds, consider visiting during weekdays or shoulder seasons (late spring or early fall).

Durfield dispersed camping offers no formal amenities or facilities - there are no restrooms, water sources, trash services, or established fire rings. One notable advantage is excellent cell coverage, with full Verizon 5G UW service available throughout much of the area due to a nearby tower. The camping area consists of unimproved sites that can be dusty, and you'll need to bring all necessary supplies including water. Plan to pack out all waste and be completely self-sufficient during your stay.

Durfield dispersed camping is located just off Highway 160. The access roads are gravel but very manageable, making it accessible with a standard 2WD vehicle without any problems. The area offers a secluded camping experience away from busy developed campgrounds, though it doesn't feature scenic views. Despite being off the highway, the location provides a good balance of accessibility and privacy for dispersed camping.

At Durfield dispersed camping, standard dispersed camping regulations likely apply, including the typical 14-day stay limit. The area is closed from December through April, so camping is not permitted during winter months. Be aware that cattle graze in this area, so practice proper food storage and waste disposal. As with all dispersed camping, pack out all trash, maintain appropriate distance from water sources, and follow fire regulations. Contact the local land management agency for specific current regulations before your visit.
