Off the beaten path in Nevada's high desert, this private campground sits on open terrain roughly 9 miles east of Winnemucca. The unmarked entrance and rough access road require careful navigation, making it suitable for campers comfortable with primitive conditions. At $25 per night, the off-grid setup lacks hookups and facilities, emphasizing self-sufficiency over convenience.
The exposed landscape offers little natural shade or windbreak. Campers should come prepared with their own water, waste disposal plan, and power sources. For those needing full services, hi-desert-rv-park provides a developed alternative about 8 miles west. Pack extra supplies since the remote location means limited resupply options nearby.
