Salida BLM Land

Road access to this dispersed BLM camping area requires careful navigation, as GPS may not provide reliable directions to the actual sites. Campers should instead navigate to Race Track Trail Trailhead, then follow the road uphill to reach the scattered camping spots. The route accommodates two-wheel-drive vehicles with cautious driving, though the road surface presents some challenges.

Sites here sit close together on notably uneven terrain, with many positioned on steep slopes that make leveling difficult. Cell phone reception remains strong throughout the area. The proximity to campgrounds near Salida makes this a functional overnight stop rather than a destination stay, particularly given the cramped spacing and challenging ground conditions that work better for single-night visits.
