BEST SPOT YET

Hands down the best spot I’ve found on this app so far!!

Literally was talking to myself as I pulled up making weird noises because I was in so much awe at how beautiful the spot was! The sunsets here are amazing or at least the night I stayed was!

The camping spots are somewhat close together so that’s good to keep in mind.

But omg, the spot is insane. The mosquitoes were not bad at all. The spot feels like a perfect little oasis.

The spot is close to the freeway, but far enough that you won’t hear any of the noise so it’s perfect if you are on a road trip. :)

There are some train tracks that run by it, but I didn’t notice if the train was noisy or going by as I was car camping!

Getting to the spot - you will get off the main road and drive through some dirt roads and past some private property. At the end of one of the roads you’ll see a small bridge you’ll drive over and the camping spots are maybe 30 seconds past the bridge.

Also an incredible spot to fish!

Beautiful And Private

It’s like actual campgrounds. Picnic tables, fire pits. Bathroom down the road. Here’s some tips. There’s no cell service. About 2.5 miles from Maiden Rocks Road on Frontage Road you will get service for a small portion of the road.

If you are coming from Highway 43 East, go 12 miles and Turn right onto Frontage Rd, there will be a large sign on the right for Frontage Road. Start to look out for Frontage Road after you cross the train tracks. go 3.5 miles on Frontage Rd. then turn right onto Maiden Rocks Road. go 1.6 miles, then turn right. Go over the bridge and train tracks for about .2 miles and then you’re there, If you hit I-15 you went one street too far.

To get to 1-15, once you get onto Frontage Rd, turn right and follow the road and then you’ll see signs.

Very Well Maintained

Very decent spot to spread out and enjoy a wide open vista. The designated camp spots are super clean and nicely laid out. I couldn’t give 5 stars for several reasons: there is not any shaded spots, it’s very exposed; the vault toilet is a significant jaunt for the campers to reach, especially females, and there is not a faucet to get any water (but it’s dispersed so totally acceptable). But I picked this because the family (5) can have space and it’s super clean and quiet. Now that I’ve explored the area I know some other sweet spots to try on vicinity. Overall this is a tremendous place and I will certainly be back.

Wowza!

This place was amazing! Very well maintained area! Picnic benches, tent camping spots, rv spots! We might have been lucky but no mosquitos! It’s across the bridge in case you can’t find it from google maps :)

Best BLM spot ever

Wow… what a spot! Gorgeous scenery and A+ campsite spots for BLM land. Almost feels wrong not to pay for this experience!

Best Dispersed Camping

For a dispersed BLM camping area, this is lovely. Plenty of sites that each have a picnic table and long gravel spot to park an RV. There’s a cute little river and some interesting rock features. Close to the freeway so an excellent stop for a night spot.

Great find!

This place looks like a paid campground, only free! All the spots have a picnic table, fire pit and bear box. The mountain views all all around you are gorgeous. Some other folks camping here went trout fishing - so that's an option. Only downside is that my dogs had some trouble walking on the gravel.
