Penrose BLM sites

Dispersed camping across open BLM land, these sites accommodate RVs up to 25 feet along a rough access road that can challenge trailers. The area sits within designated camping zones marked by pit toilets near the entrance, with roughly 10-12 unnumbered sites scattered across the terrain. Most campers park closer to the gate to avoid the increasingly rocky road conditions further in.

OHV enthusiasts use this location as a staging area for trail riding, bringing dirt bikes and side-by-sides through the network of nearby routes. The Brush Hollow Reservoir sits within walking distance, providing fishing and water activities for those seeking a break from motorized recreation. AE K. notes that "campsites are spacious and all have a great view" of the surrounding landscape.

Cell service reaches the area with both T-Mobile and Verizon providing coverage, though campers should expect the sounds of OHVs during peak riding seasons. The 14-day stay limit applies, and the free camping attracts both locals testing equipment and travelers passing through the region.

The combination of vehicle access and proximity to recreation makes this a practical base camp for off-road adventures.
