Best Dispersed Camping near Caliente, NV

We have camped here several times in our trailer over the past few months. Lakeside dispersed camping is competitive, so get there early on a Friday if you plan to be there over a weekend. There are also designated campsites with tables, but they are quite a bit farther from the lake. Lakeside spots at the Upper Reservoir near the big rocks usually go first. The lower reservoir is quieter and lakeside spots are easier to obtain. The scenery at the lower reservoir is not as nice, though we’ve had better luck fishing at the lower reservoir. The lake does get pretty busy with a fair amount of ATV activity and kayakers, which we don’t mind, but it may be an important point for others. No shade trees. No cell service. Check the weather before you go - it can get very windy. A nice getaway in Southern Utah if you are self-contained as you can camp right on the lake.

Pulled right into a perfect spot with privacy 👌🏿 plenty of room for at least 2 5th wheels. Didn't check out the bathroom, but indeed there is bathrooms. Beware of the animals!! Only seen about 4 deer my 2 days of camping but we seen probably 40+ cows throughout our whole stay. They're at your campsite and all the trails. I'll definitely recommend this place and will be coming back! 

Always remember folks if you bring it, you pack it out! Let's keep our camping spots clean so the next person can enjoy it as much as you did.

Camping areas are spacious and spread out from other campers. The reservoir is nice. No fee, but not all spots that look like campsites are allowed for overnight camping.

I spent a couple of days here in August and did some nude hiking around the rock areas.  I  had the whole place to myself for most of the time.    It was hot, but that's perfect for me since I'm nude all the time.  I'd return here when I'm headed to the Lake Mead area in the near future (one of my very favorite nude destinations).
