Bristol Pass Dispersed

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

BLM's Caliente Field Office manages this free dispersed stop along a well-maintained dirt road in the high desert east of Nevada's Basin and Range country. Space is limited: reviewers note only two usable spots. Sites have stayed clean, and natural firewood is available on-site. The roads into camp arrive quickly and lack signage, so slowing down on approach matters. Campers routing toward Great Basin National Park often use it as an overnight waypoint. Bristol Road Dispersed Trail sits about a mile west for those needing a backup option.

Great Site

Very limited spots. Only really two spots here. There is great firewood here. Clean sites. Good place to stop on the way to Great Basin NP

Good dirt area to stay for the night. Pretty quiet. Roads just come up quick and aren’t marked so slow down before you are approaching
