The edge of the salt flats

I’ve loved visiting and driving across the Bonneville salt flats for decades. It’s a unique spot in the country (although not in the world, put Uyuni next on your list if you love endless stretches of white salt desert). The description is accurate that you cannot camp overnight on the salt flats, but it is surrounded by BLM lands and those are fair game. You can have essentially the same experience without damaging the unique and fragile environment at the actual site. The sunrises are phenomenal and more than worth the trip out here.

No Camping On Flats

You cannot camp on the salt flats but you can camp on the BLM property right north of the flats. The road will Y branch to the left of going to the parking spot of the flats. Follow the road north and there will be two dirt roads that branch on the right of it. You can camp at any dirt pad.
