Wheeler Pass Road Dispersed

The options were nice and the views were gorgeous but there seems to be a lot of long term living people around in their cars as well as a decently large homeless population around. I didn’t feel very safe so I only stayed one night. Along with that, there was so much litter and trash.

Beautiful view overlooking the town and mountains. Quite a few pull off areas as you go up Wheeler rd, I ended up parking at coordinates: (36.2420331, -115.9001200). Well maintained gravel road getting up here.

Not sure how fun this would be in a tent, but we slept in the back of our vehicle up on top of a cliff surrounded by Joshua trees. Very sweet spot to spend the night.

We took a right off of the main road towards the gravel pit and took a left which headed up to a secluded location.

Wheeler Peak Rd is actually one of 4 roads that goes into this vast area. 

There are several roads that some think give better access to campsites off HIghway 160 in town.  Wheeler Peak Rd is south of town.

Best one might be Charleston Peak Rd.  Turn east off 160 Highway by the Auto Zone store onto Panorama and go one block to Charleston Peak Rd turning right at the Chevy dealership. 

This is paved road nearly all the way to campsites.  When the pavement ends go straight ahead a block or two to campsites or turn to the left and go north toward the power lines.  All BLM east of the power lines clear to the mountains. 

Boondocked in this area 2  months with no complaints. Verizon Cellphone signal this close to town was very good as was my hotspot internet connection.

Lots of level sites for individuals or groups. Very close to town/shopping/gas so a great spot for first timers to test and fine tune their setup before heading for more remote boondocking adventures.

For boondocking I find this spot convenient to town. Beautiful desert surroundings. Decent T mobile cell service.

There are residents of all persuasions along this road. The long term folks are mostly concentrated below the powerline road. Transient visitors are best suited to sites higher up the road.  I was surprised at how many people were up here during my visit, and began to get a bit discouraged about finding a good camp site until I lucked upon a really terrific site that I had missed at first glance. It was a very pleasant night after visiting a relative in Pahrump.

Just stopping for an overnight stop.  Level and lots of space.  Quiet and good Verizon cell reception.  Great for an overnight stop.

Great TMobile and Verizon. 1 mile from highway behind Home Depot in open dessert criss crossed by multiple dirt roads. Scout ahead! Full of city services and a welcoming community. Room for thousands! There are a few homesteaders scattered about and the typical debris. WTF, it's FREE! I just cleaned up my area in gratitude as garbage drops in town are free too.

Beautiful Place to relax. A lot of spots to park, amazing weather just a little windy. At night is just beautiful between the stars and the lights of the town.

Literally free.!!! Cell service Dispersed Dirt roads Close to stores and everything in between Now a lot of people are like living here full time and well good for them right? Shoot... not a bad situation. Anyway free camping just pull over and you are good. No hook ups or anything special just you and your rv of choice. What’s better than free? Also Next door is an rv place and you can dump and fill your water if you needed to. Huge area by the way and plenty of open desert

Tons of space out here and decently level. Full bars on my cell service.

Very nice place on the west side of Mt. Charleston OHV welcome . Easy access to amenities Cell and television reception GOOD
