Humbug Spires Trailhead Basecamp

1 ReviewAdd Review

Hikers accessing the Humbug Spires will find this dispersed camping area at the end of a three-mile gravel road from the highway. The Bureau of Land Management maintains this open gravel lot with clean pit toilets, accommodating big rigs and trailers on the well-maintained access route. A creek runs nearby, and campers report large rock formations and shade trees in the area.

The main camping area sits in an open lot, though additional pull-offs along the access road provide alternative spots for RVs. Cell service is unavailable at this location. Beyond the main area, a narrow, eroded road continues further but proves challenging for most vehicles. For a developed alternative, Divide Bridge Campground offers more amenities five miles west.

Total hidden gem!

Only 3 miles from the highway, this campsite is at the end of a well maintained, slightly rutted gravel road. It’s wide enough for trailers.

Along the road, there are a handful of pull offs that are big enough for an RV to pull into.

The coordinates bring you to an open gravel lot with nice clean pit toilets. There’s a creek nearby. Big beautiful rocks, some shade, pretty epic views on the way in. Beautiful!

No cell service, unfortunately. Another con is that there’s another road that goes in further, but it’s narrow and eroded. I attempted it in my campervan, but ultimately decided it wasn’t worth the hassle and parked in the open lot instead.
