The landfill signs were definitely concerning as we drove up, but was expected after reading other reviews. The site was pretty trashy, there were pre existing fire set ups(didn’t use), shotgun shells, and a bunch of stickers plants (be careful were you walk). You could hear the road and it did quite down later in the night, the train did go by a few times. There is basically no privacy once the near by landfill was opened, as truckers used the road around the site. We did wake up to wild horses. The site worked for what we needed which was just somewhere to stay the night.
Pulled in here just before sunset. At first I was a little alarmed.. You are driving to a county landfill. But, just before you arrive, there is a little spot to the side, Google shows water but there is none. Watch for a little road through the brush that leads to a nice little area out of site and far enough away to mask most highway noise. There are some fire rings, tho that seems like a bad idea, and some trash. It worked for the night!
Right off Mustang Road as you head towards the landfill, there is a turnoff that leads to some open sites with a few camper made rock fire rings. This is BLM land, no amenities. Some trash scattered about. Hard packed dirt made it pretty easy to access in my 2WD campervan. Google Maps makes the area look like it’s in water, maybe a dried up retention pond of sorts, but it is definitely just dirt. There was a horse roaming around our camp so we leashed our dog.
