      Very popular with hunters during the hunting seasons. The mining town site of Gold Creek, within the Island Mountain Mining District, is 5 miles south of Big Bend on county road 745. Very little remains of the town as most of it was moved or torn down in the 1920s. A plaque at the town site contains additional information. In an aspen grove surrounded by wide open country, 15 miles northeast of Wildhorse Reservoir.

        BLM off 93 North NV

        BLM overnight north NV off HWY 93

        Quiet and scenic with no amenities, simply a place to sleep overnight on a road trip. Highway 93 is in sight, but you can’t hear it. The Gravel Rd., Inn is well maintained and you can drive till you find a nice off-road spot to pull over at.

        Great family or group camping for thw pool

        Very close campsites, and quite busy on weekends. The pool is wonderful for family's and kids. The staff is excellent. Hardest working lifeguard at the pool I've ever seen. It was 95 and we needed to escape the heat and this did the trick with a 30amp site. Water and Dump on site too. Lots of picnic tables for day use and many tent spaces. But all very close together.

        Awesome Spot!

        Such a sweet free campground. I didn't use the toilets, but really appreciated the trash service. It's a popular site - so expect lots of other folks there. Also I have mounted solar panels and starlink. Choose your spot carefully if you have either of these. The rock walls and trees will cause obstructions. So pretty to look at, tho!

        Balanced for a pit stop

        Whilst a little eerie due to its location—you will be (hopefully) alone off a farm road, had a quiet, good night here. The hike up to the rock is awesome too, with a great view. This spot’s just a picnic table and a trash can (no facilities of any kind) but for a free spot on a long road trip, it’s sweet.

        Nice but not many spots

        Nice but there seems to be only one real spot. We stayed along the gravel road since « the » spot was talken.

        Couldn't stay

        I'll start off by saying the campground was really nice, and we were bummed we couldn't stay. As soon as we got out of the truck, we were swarmed with flies. So we hopped back in to find a different spot, thinking it would be different. It wasn't. There was nothing we could do to battle the flies. So we left. When we got to our next stop, we spent 60-90 minutes killing the hundreds of flies that got into our trailer. The campground seemed pleasant and well kept. It would have been nice if it wasn't for the relentless swarm of flies everywhere.

        Quaint

        Arrived late night on a Friday(no sprinklers on). Most sites were taken but we found a picnic table and set up.

        Super quiet and peaceful. Balanced rock is right down the road. Don’t blink or you’ll miss it.

        I’ll add if your looking for a quick stop near a highway, this isn’t the place. Took awhile to get there but overall worth the stay.

        Bonanza Gulch

        Plenty of Room

        Bonanza Gulch dispersed area has two sites, one on each side of the bridge. These are the most scenic spots for seeing the mountains, having wide open camp, and some amazing rock formation views. The drive to this campsite is a mind blower. Excellent quality gravel road, crazy rock formations, pretty trees and crystal clear and accessible creek. The road and campsites are all very clean. With the exception of the Jarbidge Wild and Scenic River launch site, there are very few camping pullouts until you get past the town of Jarbidge when there are many. There are many camping options in this area and all are free. No potable water in this area. No cell signal at all anywhere near. The nearest reliable cell signal to the east is 35 miles east of Murphy Hot Springs, which is closed with no opening in sight. Not many people or much traffic. The Jarbidge Wilderness looks amazing.

        It's the Water!

        Beautiful campsite with shade trees, late afternoon sun, closely spaced sites, strong Verizon internet signal, and a paved road that's nice for riding a bike. But the real beauty of the place is the fantastic swimming pool and hot tubs. While it is a mecca for rowdy children, the pool is large and the temperature and delicious texture of the water make it an absolute delight.

        Out of the way but nice spot

        Seems to be popular among fisherman. I seemed to be the only person not there to fish. Electric, water and toilets on site - no showers. T-mobile service good. No trails nearby.

        Toxic algae bloom

        Beautiful and quiet. Stayed on a Tuesday night. No one else was camping but there were a few people fishing. There is a toxic algae bloom in the lake so we couldn’t swim which was a disappointment.

        Beautiful and free!

        Excellent free place to stop over for a night or two. It doesn't really have a campground feel or setup, but rather it's a park that allows overnight camping for 7 nights.

        Tents are ok but not allowed to stay on the grass during the week, because the sprinklers are on all night long (and will also spray your vehicle if you park along the grass).  There aren't any designated or numbered camp spots, but it seems that each picnic bench and grill sort of counts as an individual spot.  But I'd say if you have a small vehicle and all the "spots" are taken it would be fine to just squeeze in somewhere for the night.

        No cell service down here.  There are trash bins and a pit toilet.  Nice river running through and a lot of people come here for the day to fish and picnic. There's also a little playground for kids.

        Easy access for medium-ish RVs, not sure if I'd attempt to bring something huge down here.  The park is a long road with a small turnaround area at the end but when we were there a big class A was blocking a lot of the turnaround area (because they didn't parallel park at the site and pulled in straight instead).  Also a lot of low hanging branches scraped as we drove through, so something taller or bigger might have issues.

        The ground was alive

        SO MANY CRICKETS! I paid before finding my campground and was unaware at how many crickets flooded the area. It looked like the ground was moving. It was 10$ a night so not a huge loss. Beautiful area with covered picnic tables and a great view of the water. Probably won’t be back. Woulda been an awesome spot if weren’t for the massive amount of crickets.

        Small & day trip worthy

        Pit stopped here on a road-trip w/ my 2 pups & they loved it. Bathrooms were rough but it Was a bit crowded when we went. Water is right there, pretty scenery. Spots are small & your pretty close to neighbors so I personally wouldn’t camp here but was a fun place to visit! Plus balanced rock was a cool site to visit & hike around. I’d visit again given a chance!

        Great Stop Over

        Pleasantly surprised at the quality if this BLM camp ground. Each site has a concrete slab covered with a hard topped shade structure covering a picnic table and BBQ grill. Just past this there is a fire ring. Sites are well spaced and most have a tree or two. Pit toilets and surrounding areas very clean. In mid-October there were about 4-5 other tents/RVs.

        Beautiful location

        The camp area is small you can park next to a bench and sleep over night. You are allowed 7 night max. Stream runs through the site. Looks more like a day camp but overnights are ok. The 2 Biggest spots are at the end of the drive, but a small trailer would be fine. There is only 1 pit toilet located tword the entrance.

        Beautiful but not Free

        The road here is paved with some spots gravel. A little bumpy on the way in but not rutted, we have a 28 foot truck camper. Very easy to drive on. We rode our bikes down to the docks and the water was very low so, a lot of bugs and algae IN the water. We heard coyotes screaming every night (which was amazing!) The view is absolutely breathtaking. Locks on the electric sites, no showers and one of the toilet huts were closed off (closest to the lake). There is no wood here or for sale here so be sure to bring your own. It got a little breezy each day but calmed down at night. Very hot during the day and very COOL at night. Great sleeping weather! We also seen a cat roaming around and it woke me up around 3am crying at my window. Very clean and if it wasn’t for the flies (so many flies. more than i’ve ever seen in my life..) and having to pay a new fee i would have given it 5 stars.

        Oh my stars!

        This place is incredible and I’m so happy it’s reopened since the devastating Sugarloaf Fire some years back. Thank you BLM for cleaning up and repairing this special spot.

        To get here, you literally just get off the highway in Elko and drive 70 (!) miles north. The end, it’s right there on the side of the road. No cities for miles around. You can imagine the dark sky and how awe inspiring it is in the middle of the night.

        It’s a bit tricky to access in the winter, but one of the best places in the state to try your hand at ice fishing. The surrounding countryside is also great for snowmobiling! In the summer, you are free to do anything from fishing to canoeing to paddle boarding to water skiing.

        Sites are basic but serviceable - about 20 sites with tables and fire rings. Plenty of trees to provide shade. There are vault toilets available and hand pumped water but no RV hookups. Super cheap at only $6 a night.

        Blue tree

        I didn't want to leave but we were running out of previsions. However before we left I hit a rather large root in the pathway and popped a tire. It is all dirt roads. I had to change a tire on a soft dirt road, it was almost impossible. We caught some sprinkles, which was awesome to escape the Las Vegas heat. The hike at sawmill was great. Not to hard. We made it to a peak. Seen horse's, lizards rabbits, and preying mantis. No amenities or water source. There is no fires allowed, stoves ok. There is a picnic area at sawmill trailhead with tables, grills and bathrooms. A few minutes walk or about 1 minute drive. I will be back. It is first come first serve there are no fees except gas and maybe a tire.

        Cool little spot

        I stayed here for a night while passing through. A nice free spot to camp if you’re in need near Twin Falls. Easily accessible by any car it seems like (I have a Nissan Versa) and there were camper vans and RVs  there too. Picnic tables at every sight, plenty of birds flying around and I think there might be at least two beavers in the creek. I tent camped and the grass was a luxury! (Was here on a Friday so didn’t have to worry about the sprinklers, they go off every morning Monday-Thursday)

        Nice!

        This was a fine campground, I got there when it was dark and was the only person there on a Wednesday night in January. The roads to get there were icy and the road down to the campground isn’t plowed, so I’d say you need 4wd in winter.

        The Balanced Rock pullout was nearby and cool to see, I also saw a herd of elk there early in the morning.
