Bristol Road Dispersed Trail

Wildlife enthusiasts will find opportunities to spot wild horses and jackrabbits along the access road leading to Bristol Road Dispersed Trail. This Bureau of Land Management site sits on BLM land southeast of Pioche, offering free camping with established fire pits and ample fallen wood for campfires. The gravel road provides safe access even for smaller vehicles, though it washes out further down the trail.

Campers can expect privacy and space suitable for small groups, with room to spread out across the dispersed camping area. The site typically remains uncrowded, with visitors often having the area to themselves on weekends. For those exploring the region, Bristol Pass Dispersed provides another nearby option just over a mile east.

Private camping, quiet

We saw wild horses and jackrabbits on the road to the campsite (off the highway). There was one or two fire pits and lots of rooms. We were there Friday night and had the place to ourselves. Plenty of wood to burn,great spot for dispersed camping
